Frommer's "South Beach's newest "it" girl, the W is so stunning it has been referred to as the Starwood brand's signature property even though it's hardly the first." Full review
Fodor's "Fun, fresh, and funky, the W South Beach is also the flagship for the brand's evolution towards young sophistication." Full review
OysterLuxury
"The stunning 312-room W South Beach... blends cute comforts, intricate design (that spares no expense), and flawless service." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Miami's first W property is a major departure for the brand: all 408 spacious residences have a French bohemian aesthetic, and are done in various shades of white and gray." Full review
Star Service "It is part conference center, part nightclub, with everything but the gym and accommodations contributing to its dichotomous existence. " Full review
Gayot "Built on a colorful stretch of South Beach, this contemporary hotel has much to offer."
BlackBook "W brings successful brand of mega-boutiquery to South Beach, replacing usual chrome and dark finishes with de rigueur Miami blinding whites and big beachy views."
Zagat4.2
"A "sexy clientele" looking to "feel like a rock star" patronizes this "cool" "hot spot" with a "very flashy" SoBe atmosphere."
Afar Magazine "The hotel's common spaces include the lobby and the Living Room bar, featuring incredibly high ceilings, tall and wide walls, and a rotating selection of large-scale contemporary art pieces." Full review
Wallpaper "Bold slashes of white, including a handmade shag rug in the living room, mother of pearl wallpaper in the guest bathroom, and a glossy lacquered dining table flanked by white leather chairs." Full review

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
