Expert Review of Townhouse Hotel

Travel Review of Townhouse Hotel

By Away Travel Expert :

New York hipster Jonathan Morr felt that Miami Beach had lost touch with the bons vivants who gave the city its original cachet, so he decided to take matters into his own hands. His solution: this 67-room, five-story so-called shabby chic hotel. The charm of this hotel is found in its clean and simple-yet-chic design with quirky details: exercise equipment that stands alone in the hallways, free laundry machines in the lobby, and a water bed-lined rooftop. Comfortable, shabby chic rooms boast L-shaped couches for extra guests (for whom you aren't charged). Though the rooms are all pretty much the same, consider the ones with the partial ocean view. The hotel's basement features the hot New York import, Bond St. Lounge.

Description:

Conceived as a cool-cheap chillout pad in South Beach, Townhouse opened its doors in Summer 2000 with a playful combination of modern design and homey comfort. Located on the beach at 20th Street and Collins Avenue, the hotel is conveniently located next to many of the Art Deco district's hotspots, including the shops and cafes of Lincoln Road. The idea was to create a happy, unpretentious place for people who have style but don't need to spend a lot of money," "People who just want to hang around somewhere that's both edgy and fun."
