Hotel Victor Review

A victory for Ocean Drive, a street that hasn't seen such a swank stay since the Tides, Hotel Victor, managed by Hyatt, is a hyperluxe, 88-room boutique see-and-be-seen hotel designed by Parisian Jacques Garcia -- this is his first hotel foray in the U.S. Best known for his design work at Paris's tragically hip Hotel Costes and the discriminating Sultan of Brunei, Garcia has lent his exquisite taste to this hotel located on notoriously tacky Ocean Drive. The hotel's cabana-dotted pool and bistro Vix have become command central for hotel hopping hipsters -- especially on Thursday nights and Saturday afternoons. Directly across from the ocean, Hotel Victor stands apart from the rest of the cookie-cutter minimalist Miami hotels, breaking from bare minimalism and daring to go bold with color and rich fabrics. Deluxe rooms are just that, all with ocean views, white marble, ebony-lacquered furniture, a full -- not mini -- bar, flatscreen plasma TVs, and massive white-marbled bathrooms with infinity-edge bathtubs and rain showerheads. The Hotel Victor's Turkish-style spa is the hotel's hottest spot -- literally, with its large unisex steam room, Turkish hammam, and heated marble slabs.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; concierge; 6,000-sq.-ft. fitness center; outdoor pool; room service; spa and Turkish hammam

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
