Frommer's "One of the few condo-hotel combos to open before the bust, the trendy Kelly Wearstler-designed Viceroy is located on prime real estate on Biscayne Bay." Full review
Concierge "So, if you're heading to Miami solely to rock your neon thong on Ocean Drive, the Viceroy won't interest you—but it's perfect for a spa weekend in the sun."
Travel + Leisure "Kor Hotels and its design doyenne Kelly Wearstler strike again—this time in downtown Miami." Full review
Star Service "There is a certain elegance that ties the place together, and the location, set in the heart of a towering condominium complex, adds a lively air to the place. " Full review

Request higher floors—guest rooms are on floors 3 through 14—for better light; panoramic top-floor units are reserved for residents.

"The "ultimate in hip", this "very chic" hotel in a "prime" Brickell Area location near the "finest" restaurants caters to the "beautiful people" with "excellent" rooms featuring Sferra bedding."
Jetsetter "You can count on Miami to bring on the heat: Among its downtown offerings, the Kelly Wearstler–designed Viceroy Hotel has a distinctly urban vibe and hip waterfront flair. It takes..." Full review
Fodor's "This hotel cultivates a brash, supersophisticated Miami attitude, likely stemming from its flawless guest rooms." Full review

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."
