Townhouse

Townhouse Review

Though sandwiched between the Setai and the Shore Club—two of the coolest hotels on the planet—the Townhouse doesn't try to act all dolled up: it's comfortable being the shabby-chic, lighthearted, relaxed, no-frills, fun hotel on South Beach. Rooms aren't luxurious, and you won't find many amenities (no gym, no spa, no pool), but if you want to stay in the middle of the action for under $200, in simple clean digs with a good sense of style, this may be a good choice. Enter through a brightly lit, spacious white lobby; after check-in, head to a small but freshly adorned white-and-red room that comes with a beach ball you can keep. The hotel has a rooftop terrace with plush red lounge chairs and a DJ on weekends. A hip sushi restaurant, Bond St. Lounge, is downstairs, and delivers to rooms during restaurant hours. With its clean white backdrops and discounts for crew members, there's always a good chance a TV production or magazine shoot is happening.
