"A showstopper resort that's a bold step away from the Federal-style-and-Oriental-rug look of its sister properties."

"Just steps away from a surfeit of dining, shopping, and entertainment choices, this Ritz-Carlton is located directly on the beach."

"Located on a prized stretch of sand next to the stylized Sagamore, the Ritz-Carlton, South Beach remains the most interesting of Ritz-Carlton's contrasting Miami triumvirate."

"The location here, across the beach from the Marseilles and kitty-corner from the Delano and SLS, is about as close to the heat as you can get without having your hand in the fire."
