Frommer's "There's no need to pay more for an oceanfront view here -- go up to the rooftop, where the hip and funky Spire Bar and pool are located, and you'll have an amazing view of the Atlantic." Full review
Fodor's "Everything in this quirky, romantic boutique hotel, from the decor of the restaurant Wish, to the tie-dye bathrobes hanging in the small but cute bathrooms, is colorful and eclectic." Full review

"Centrally located in a historic Art Deco building, this is a darling little hotel by designer Todd Oldham and developer/hotelier Tony Goldman." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located on Collins Avenue, this Art Deco hotel is enhanced by the colorful interior design of famed decorator Todd Oldham." Full review
DK Eyewitness "With interior design by whimsical clothier Todd Oldham, this colorful place was formerly known as the Tiffany, until the famed jeweler intervened."
Rough Guide Star
"Designer Todd Oldham oversaw every element in the renovation of this hotel, and his colourful yet thoughtful makeover makes it one of the best luxury options on the beach."
Time Out "The mosaic-tiled bathrooms and tie-dye robes lend a whimsical feel to the small but avant-garde rooms." Full review
Michelin Guide "A huge mirror-shaped tile mosaic and velveteen couches- block-patterned in rose, green, and gold-pick up flecks of color from the lobby's original terrazzo floor."
Star Service "The majority of this hotel's common areas and accommodations sit one block off Ocean Drive with water views from its exceptionally popular rooftop pool and annex rooms located on Ocean Drive." Full review
BlackBook "Totally South Beach in the best possible way—an institution of hip. The lobby and patio areas are a salute to color, exuberance and plain fabulousness. Sleep it all off in one of the tasty rooms. "

Frommer's "The Zen-like, Asian-inspired Setai is truly for that 1% of society who can afford it." Full review
Concierge "The place is stunning... it's a hotel for grownups, people who aren't interested in parading around the pool or having a party in the lobby."
Travel + Leisure "With some 40 floors, the Setai rises over South Beach like an opulent obelisk, serving as a playground for damn-the-expense visitors." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This South Beach hotel opened in 2005 on the site of the former Vanderbilt Hotel. It is pricey but has every luxury, with 50 rooms and 75 suites."
Rough Guide "Condo-tower-cum-hotel that’s known for its celeb-heavy clientele... as much as for its pricey, vaguely Asian-themed rooms."
Time Out "In a case of Orient excess, the Setai boasts a four-bedroom penthouse with a $30,000 rack rate and the starriest clientele in town." Full review
Star Service "At 21st Street, on the edge of SoBe, this hotel occupies a sparkling white and reflective glass complex that faces the beach like a giant's tuning fork." Full review

Those who choose to brave the looks and lenses on the beach are well taken care of, with umbrellas, beach chairs and day beds at the ready, and a full staff on hand to quell thirsts and hungers.
Gayot "It is elite and divine."
BlackBook "Once among most stunning lux hotels on the Beach, but now showing its age and getting stale."
Zagat4.2
"Asian touches (antique jade, teak accents) throughout this "very sophisticated" property yield a "peaceful" ambiance that extends to the "spacious", "sexy" art deco rooms."
