 "Deco standout that's chic and cozy at the same time. The lighting is very flattering as are the rooms with Frette linens and towels that are hard not to throw in your knock-off Birkin bag."

 "The French-inflected Raleigh is like France itself: effortlessly chic, impossibly seductive, and occasionally vexing." Full review
 "It now boasts all mod cons, down to bedside buttons controlling everything from lights to room temperature." Full review
 "Located at 18th Street, on the golden fringes of South Beach, on the quieter north end of hotel row...this place is a stylish underdog with a notable glam-factor." Full review
