$$-$$$, South Beach/Miami Beach
Fodor's Review:
Sandwiched between the Setai and the Shore Club -- two of the hottest hotels on the planet -- the Townhouse looks like a big adult playhouse and fits the bill as the most lighthearted hotel on South Beach. A red plastic beach ball welcomes you to spotless rooms bleached white. The rooftop terrace has red waterbeds and a signature water tower. It's no wonder you find loud parties here on weekend nights. The hotel was designed by India Madhavi; thank him for the bright, inviting lobby with two, big, red (of course) bikes, kickstands down, for rent. Off to one side, a delightful sun room is a great place to read the paper over a generous Continental breakfast. Just outside, a porch deck has swings and comfortable chairs. A hip sushi restaurant, Bond St. Lounge, is downstairs. With its clean white backdrops and discounts for crew members, there's always a good chance a TV production or magazine shoot is happening. Pro: A great budget buy for the style hungry. Cons: No pool and rooms are not designed for long stays.
