A recent week-long visit to South Beach began with a reservation at Dream. I would always seek out cutting edge design and fun ideas - so the Dream fit the bill. Some of the design elements, however, reminded me of the 1980s and "so cool" at the time, Royalton in Manhattan. Dated! Blue tubed fluorescents and an undecipherable lighting control... More

Great place very swanky love the blue lights in the rooms and roof top pool! Behind Versace mansion glad to be off main strip as very noisy on the fri night,Thursday was a lot quieter so avoid weekends if you want a quieter stay.staff were lovely.

So I think the design is absolutely right for the location! For those worried about the comments on room size- it's fine I stayed in tinier in NYC at 3 times the price( TriBeCa grand) where truly the design guaranteed you stayed up till the bar closed unless you put on the white noise system... I stayed on the second... More

+ stylish + clean + location - small rooms - noisy: could hear every word from our neighbours - sometimes it was necessary to switch off A/C due to smell of cigarette smoke (I guess should be normally no problem, as it is a non-smoker hotel?) - extras are very expensive: I had to make an urgent LANDLINE call to...

Arrival was a pleasant and efficient experience with car parking and checking in hassle free. We had two rooms (one for our daughter) both of which were fine and very relaxing. It... More

This is a great hotel for couples! The rooms are cozy (teeny-tiny), but are well appointed. I went with a girlfriend to celebrate our milestone birthday, and the bathroom situation was a bit awkward. When you first walk into our room, there is a toilet and sink on the right with clear glass doors (no shade for privacy), on the... More

Here's the deal: Stay only at the Dream South Beach if you want lovely, helpful service, a quieter SOBE experience, sleek, fashionable interiors and a very good value. Otherwise, go to one of those moody, darker looking hotels with a surly staff who snarls and a sound-deafening club that spills into the hallways and rooms. Granted, this is for people... More
