Frommer's "New York hipster Jonathan Morr felt that Miami Beach had lost touch with the bons vivants who gave the city its original cachet, so he decided to take matters into his own hands." Full review
Concierge "The 67 minimalist rooms may be small, but they've been impeccably designed by India Mahdavi with comfy white beds and chocolate-colored sofas."
Lonely Planet "You’d think the Townhouse was designed by the guy who styled the iPod." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"Located right on the beach, the Townhouse offers bright, stylish rooms, but little else." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A shabby chic hotel that is more chic than shabby, the Townhouse is quirky with exercise equipment in the hallways, free L-shaped couches for guests, and clean, simple decor."
Rough Guide Star
"From the small but beautifully designed white rooms to the chatty, cheerful staff and the relaxing roof deck filled with cushy chaise loungers, this boutique hotel aims to please."
Time Out "This small boutique hotel is a first-rate knock-off. It was opened in 2000 by Jonathan Morr, and the Starck-Schrager influence is obvious." Full review
Gayot "The upscale beach house decor by New York interior designer India Mahdavi emphasizes modern white furnishings accented by striking red decor... and signature curvy couches."
BlackBook "In the boutique division of hotels, handy to the lavish Shore Club, is the very modern and very red-and-white Townhouse."
The Telegraph7.0
"A laid-back retreat outfitted in stark white with pops of red." Full review

Frommer's "Each room and suite in the oceanfront hotel is a nod to the stately colonial rooms of yesteryear blended with the modern aesthetic of South Beach." Full review
Concierge "Situated on the quieter northern end of South Beach's raucous Ocean Drive, the Betsy Hotel is, in many ways, a fish out of water—picture a Southern belle surrounded by Art Deco divas."

"After a $40 million overhaul, the Betsy reopened in 2009 with a beautiful rooftop spa and solarium, a renowned restaurant (BLT steak), and bright, charming rooms." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"Leisure meets luxury at The Betsy, a 61-room beachfront beauty located on a quiet stretch of Ocean Drive."
Star Service "Fashionable, understated and wholly in charge of this end of Ocean Drive, The Betsy curtsies elegantly alongside its peers The Tides and Victor." Full review
Gayot "Following a complete renovation, this Ocean Drive landmark with its impressive colonial facade has become one of the freshest faces in Miami Beach."
BlackBook "Sixty-three rooms and suites decked out with wi-fi, iPod docks, huge flatscreens and TVs built into the mirrors in the louve."

"Classy The Betsy Hotel stands apart from the famed candy-coated, neon-lit strip on which it sits." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler88.9
"The fresh interior is more Savannah than SoBe, with chairs upholstered in striped fabric, curtains and bedspreads bordered in matching colors—lavender, mustard, green—and a neat pile of books." Full review
Jetsetter "SoBe’s demure Southern Belle is a standout in a sea of flamboyant Art Deco divas." Full review
