We saw the outside of the Regent South Beach when we were down there in Jan. and actually found it very disappointing. It is a long narrow building with most of the rooms having no view (or just a view of the adjacent building to the south or for now an empty lot to the north) and those that face Ocean Drive (east) basically look out at a large Condo building and maybe a sliver of the ocean if you look way to the right. South Beach has gotten incredibly expensive. We stayed at the Hotel Victor (part of Hyatt but not really marketed as such) and the rates (we stayed for free on Faster Free Night awards) were $725+ per night.
