With a slogan that reads \"clean sheets, hot water, and stiff drinks,\" the Whitelaw Hotel stands apart from the other boutique hotels with a fierce sense of humor, but never compromises on its fabulous amenities. Only half a block from Ocean Drive, this hotel, like its clientele, is full of distinct personalities, pairing such disparate elements as luxurious Belgian sheets with shag carpeting to create a completely innovative setting. All-white rooms manage to be homey and plush and not at all antiseptic, but some guests have complained that their room looked more like a 1950s kitchen with linoleum floors than anything else. Bathrooms are pretty small and not that well stocked and towels are sometimes in short supply, but those who stay here aren't really looking for luxe -- they want to party. Complimentary cocktails in the lobby every night from 7 to 8pm contribute to a very social atmosphere.
