Guests regularly enjoy comfortable beds and tasty Latin-inspired breakfast options.

  • i did want to say that this hotel is very loud there are so many cars in brickell it's not really the hotel's fault but not a lot of noise cancellation from the windows at all so i would definitely recommend staying somewhere else if you are susceptible to that On camera46:33
  • I would stay there but don't think of it as high luxury. It is just above average and nicely quieter than others 3

  • all the food was really delicious definitely a little expensive but miami in general is just expensive for food On camera42:57
  • OTHER SUGGESTION: This is the best one for value: Marriott Miami Biscayne Bay. 3
  • Brickell Arch Dining - service was good, but pricey. 3
  • Pricing is alright, paid around $500 for 1-night during the winter and while it wasn't anything memorable it serves fine. 11
  • The dining here is great and its not too over the top expensive. 11
  • The inspired rooms are nice, clean, and renovated. It is really the best value option in Brickell and if you like W you might as well like this option. 3
  • Location is fine, dining is nothing to complain about, service feels basic, price is good, so overall if you get an Inspired room its great! 11
  • Personally Brickell is my fave neighborhood but especially low that they added a destination fee, I can stay there with bad service. 13
  • got two free drink coupons with the resort fee that I don't have to pay as a globalist $40 a night which is insane On camera12:28
  • They switched to Japanese-Peruvian, and that's just too much of a "niche" cuisine for me, especially if I want to eat at the hotel more than one night. It feels like an excuse to serve me a minuscule morsel of fish for a very high price. Their steakhouse used to be good. 11
  • The Nobu tends to also be one of the cheaper hotel options in Miami, I've seen it almost the same price as some 4-stars. That said you basically get what you paid for, a nice room, great dining, but you won't get that over the top, personalized service. 11
  • I paid around $350 to stay here per night in the fall and it was a really good deal! 11
  • I can recommend the Hampton Miami Brickell. We stayed there this past November and would definitely stay again. A big plus is that the price includes a very decent breakfast buffet. 15
  • St. Regis Bal Harbor is also very nice but pricey. 11
  • Pool bar expensive - 2 soda's $18. 3
  • Staff at this property are very friendly and dining options are decent too but I like the options not in the hotel since the options in the hotel are very expensive. 11
  • The rooms are pretty good, bathrooms not so much. It is a nicer property than the other two but I put it 3rd because of the value for money. 3
  • Hotel Beaux Arts: Nope, do not stay here. It isn't a bad property per say but for the price point it has terrible value. 3
  • The Fontainebleau pretty much missed the mark on everything and yet they charge $700 per night, so even though there is a lot of hype around it this is one I'd recommend you avoid. 11
  • True...and I need to adjust. But the rates, bro. If I'm paying JWM+ prices... ya know? Don't charge me Ritz prices and give me a glorified Moxy. 13

  • The rooms here were not clean at all, while the views were great the linens weren't ironed and the rooms felt dusty. 11
  • The rooms here are bright and beautiful and the bathrooms are incredibly stunning. This is also one of the cheaper options in Miami too, it is very nice. 11
  • n in Key Biscayne. However, only book this property if you just want the nice amenities. The rooms and the service are terrible. 11
  • if you're looking to get your room cleaned make sure you call them okay call them because I've put in a request on this thing and it took three hours for them to do it On camera1232:14
  • W South Beach: This is personally my favorite hotel in South Beach. While the service here is more geared toward the friendly side, the rooms here are some of the best in the city. 11
  • Rooms were clean, service was alright but nothing 5-star and I prefer the Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbor a lot more. 11
  • The staff here were exceptional, very friendly and sweet and always checked in on me. 11
  • My room had a beautiful view of the Miami Downtown and the valet team here were the best, always remembered my name during my 3-night stay. 11
  • ed with service, but this place was awful. Our room was dirty, ripped up carpet, some brown stains splashed on the walls, the guy in check in seemed annoyed, it took over an hour for us to get a check with our to go food. 11
  • The check-in lines feel like I'm at a check-out line during a Black Friday sale and this property is very noisy. 11
  • Our room was dirty, ripped up carpet, some brown stains splashed on the walls, the guy in check in seemed annoyed, it took over an hour for us to get a check with our to go food. 11
  • I emailed the front desk and the manager of the hotel while we were there, and sent a message concerning the cleanliness of the room and never got a reply. 11
  • Rooms dated, housekeeping meh, I wouldn't rush back there for any reason. 11
  • The service here is 100% more improved than the JW but again the rooms feel dated and this time, cramped. 11
  • At least the lobby has some colors, though the lobby feels very small and cramped. This is one of my least favorite hotels because it offers nothing special and the service here also doesn't meet up to the mark. 11
  • While the service here is more geared toward the friendly side, the rooms here are some of the best in the city. 11
  • Emilia , in particular, was courteous and responsive to our needs. We spent a lot of time at the pool, and the (contract) pool attendants Aaron and Daniel did a good setup job for us. 13
  • Nobu Miami Beach: The Nobu kind of made me feel like I was in Japan due to the Japanese touches in the rooms. The rooms were modern, clean, and had great views and I had no complaints. 11
  • That said you basically get what you paid for, a nice room, great dining, but you won't get that over the top, personalized service. 11
  • Informed the front desk and they were super apologetic, gave me $2000 property credit that can also be used to book future stays and a suite upgrade, which all happened at 2AM in the morning. 11
  • The service here is high-end and I love that aroma throughout the hotel, it feels natural. 11
  • The service here was mind-blowing, all the staff remembered my name, waitstaff remembered my allergies and my usual order at the restaurants, and every day after like the 4th or 5th day they brought me a complimentary cake to the room. 11
  • my key card wouldn't work and a housekeeper kind of yelled at me for doing that which I think there was just some confusion there On camera17:06
  • The only saving grace about this property is the amenities, the pools are very nice and I like the secluded location in Key Biscayne. However, only book this property if you just want the nice amenities. The rooms and the service are terrible. 11
  • Staff at this property are very friendly and dining options are decent too but I like the options not in the hotel since the options in the hotel are very expensive. 11
  • We stayed 3 nights at the RC Key Biscayne last year and I'm not normally obsessed with service, but this place was awful. 11
  • The Inspired room at JW Marriott Miami is slightly more modern while JW Marriott Miami Marquis has better service and property grounds. 3
  • Are you referring to the FS in Brickell? That's the worst FS I've stayed at (earlier this year) and the service was non-existent or weird, with the exception of valet who were great. 11
  • The rooms and the service are terrible. 11
  • I stayed there several times and unfortunately, the service has been on the decline since 2018. 13
  • I did not get our housekeeper's name, but she had the 10th floor on Christmas weekend, and she was very attentive. 13
  • The service though made up for it, the staff always checked on me and they were very friendly every time I walked through the lobby. 11
  • Agreed! I first took my mom there in 2018 and it's still her favorite hotel visit...really makes me sad that they have all the ingredients but don't seem to want to invest more in service 13
  • I emailed the front desk and the manager of the hotel while we were there, and sent a message concerning the cleanliness of the room and never got a reply. It was super weird. 11
  • Aside from that, this is my go-to place to stay in Miami. Great location, beautiful lobby, great views from the rooms, staff is great. 11

  • I find the dining and service to be quite nice here. 3
  • just come back to the room and not cleaned let's calm for two and a half hours this is one downfall of the Marriott app and also on using that iPad to request turndown service order across green cleaning I've noticed there's a big time leg as opposed to just calling On camera1215:56
  • I am writing this from the hotel. Rooms are very nice. 14
  • Brickell Arch Dining - service was good, but pricey. 3
  • Emilia and Lucia were our front desk attendants on Christmas morning and checked us in. Emilia , in particular, was courteous and responsive to our needs. 13
  • JW Marriott Miami is the best option ONLY if you book an Inspired room. The inspired rooms are nice, clean, and renovated. It is really the best value option in Brickell and if you like W you might as well like this option. I find the dining and service to be quite nice here. 3
  • This is one of my least favorite hotels because it offers nothing special and the service here also doesn't meet up to the mark. 11
  • But staff is friendly enough. 3
  • The staff here are great in a different way, instead of personalized, over-the-top service they feel more like a friend rather than an employee. 11
  • and the hotel's about 5 years old so a little worried about the maintenance of these rooms there's definitely some wear and tear the thing I noticed most was over here on the ground where was it right here this little that's kind of unacceptable in my opinion On camera14:05
  • Keeping in mind that we were on the chaise lounges on the "observation deck" at the far end of a very long pool (100 yards), I had to walk to Tulum, wait 20 minutes for lunch to be prepared, then carry it back. Alternately, I could just walk back and forth twice. This situation seems beneath the standard of service of a luxury hotel. 13
  • Miami Beach Edition: Personally, for someone who has stayed at a lot of EDITION Hotels (Lake Como, Tampa, etc) this one was a letdown. The rooms here were not clean at all, while the views were great the linens weren't ironed and the rooms felt dusty. 11
  • Otherwise the rooms were clean and the dining is great but the service was lacking. 11
  • Personally though the staff were super sweet and the hotel design felt like the EDITION, but because of the bed bugs incident I'm biased so I'm marking this as the worst hotel in Miami. 11
  • that was my best autograph experience check-in thus far I mean with the personal concierge she watched you walk you through the room he gives you a rundown to the room it was class class class On camera127:05
  • The dining here feels very "tropical" in a sense and the food is quite good. However this place is overwhelmingly busy and the staff here though they are nice, they can't handle the crowd. 11

  • then I'm gonna go eat at the restaurant here on the 39th floor littell yay and it is such a cool private area for only the top three floors I literally had the place to myself On camera1223:55
  • Brickell Arch Dining - service was good, but pricey. We had breakfast on Saturday : 2 eggs/bacon and breakfast burger with coffee and 2 cokes and total bill was $84. 3
  • FS Miami - My one complaint is the dining. They switched to Japanese-Peruvian, and that's just too much of a "niche" cuisine for me, especially if I want to eat at the hotel more than one night. 11
  • They have a great Cuban restaurant Kana which is also where the globalist breakfast is in the morning I'll show you that but overall a very delicious meal from them On camera12:15
  • Breakfast is beautiful restaurant, elite dining has changed from "anything" to a more limited menu. They also forgot to take it off folio 2 of 4 stays and painful to call in. But staff is friendly enough. 3
  • The dining here is okay if your ordering room service, nothing memorable and though the views of the city are gorgeous, paying $713 for this hotel, yeah I'd reconsider. 11
  • Breakfast is beautiful restaurant, elite dining has changed from "anything" to a more limited menu. 3
  • Only downside there aren't really restaurants in walking distance so we eat at the hotel restaurant. I think it is pricey, but it is no more so than other area restaurants. 15
  • The dining was also pretty disappointing as the food I tried was bland. 11
  • Lovely dining and this is one of the most advertised Four Seasons properties. 11

  • I didn't tend to eat much here for my 2-night stay but I did order room service once which was great. 11

  • The dining here feels very "tropical" in a sense and the food is quite good. 11
  • W Miami: At first, this was my go-to hotel since it was cheap and it was where my work always use to put me up before we had the freedom to choose our own hotels. As I've stayed here more and more despite the grandeur the property has it has started to lose the 5-star charm. The rooms here are 100% dated and probably in need of a renovation and the restaurants haven't been doing so well. 11
  • Dining here was exceptional, all the restaurants had delicious food. However like the Ritz-Carlton the service here was lacking and didn't feel personalized. 11

  • it really is an entertaining room it's not a sitting showroom it's not very comfortable oh this is not a room that's meant to be this is not a countess meant to be sat on I wonder almost if it's intentionally uncomfortable On camera1231:36
  • There will be 5 of us, my wife and I, and my 2 kids and my mother. We've done the Residence Inn Miami Airport several times which we like because it's easy to get a 1 bedroom suite and it's a quick ride to the port. 15
  • I like the blue design which feels very modern and bright but unfortunately the room was dusty. 11
  • one thing that's really really cool is that it has an HDMI IN someone hook up my iPad here and I can hook it up and watch UFC right from my iPad and watch it right on my bed On camera1219:52
  • The bathrooms were a big highlight and I loved the balcony I received. However, though the room design was well thought out and spacious it was a little dusty and the carpet had a weird odor. 11
  • I thought this mini bar was really trick how the mini bar slides out right so you have your glasses upside down the way they should be you have your packaged edible products right there martini glasses super trick super awesome On camera124:40
  • I loved the hard wood floors and the room was very clean, the views from the bathtub were amazing. 11
  • At around midnight I discovered that there were bed bugs, about 7-8 of them crawling around beneath all the sheets. 11
  • The elevators were always so slow in my towers and it took almost 10 minutes once just to get to my room. 11
  • The sleek, precisely designed guest rooms provide open space for you to settle into, featuring an open closet, clutter-free desk, and city skyscraper views of the area. On camera80:25
  • Mag-reply I-share bernardobrito • 7 buwan ang nakalipas I guess I had become accustomed to a "Living Room" and WetDeck vibes at other W's. This property has so much potential, and management is sliding by with low effort. 13
  • The room is very nice and they offer a very clean stay. 11
  • Setai is awful. When I have to walk from my room to the beach, through the restaurant/nightclub and back, forget it. 11
  • Nespresso in room is nice. 3
  • My room was a standard king bed room and it had a beautiful view of South Beach, this is probably the hotel you should choose if you really prioritize the view. 11
  • Last time, we had the river view and killed a couple bottles of wine just watching boats from the balcony. 13
  • the TV swivels in between the living space and the bedroom space so pretty cool there On camera12:06
  • I've stayed at the JWM Marquis . Loved the room and the overall interior of the hotel. 3
  • didn't realize until later in the morning that I actually had a balcony opening those windows up so checked that out small little balcony but good to have On camera14:34
  • However, though the room design was well thought out and spacious it was a little dusty and the carpet had a weird odor. 11
Location13 mentions · 1 filmed
  • JW Marriott Marquis Miami: This is really close to JW Marriott Miami, but it falters in the rooms. 3
  • Set in a glistening, modern 36-story tower, in a prime downtown location, two blocks south of the more traditional JW Marriott, this was one of the early downtown pioneers and it continues to standout as a part of Marriott's Luxury Collection portfolio with interiors from renowned architect and designer Gabellini Sheppard. 5
  • Overall, we loved the location where you could hop in a Uber and only be 4-5 miles from good restaurants and away from crowds. There's a CVS and 7-11 only 1-2 blocks away too. 3
  • Other than that the room was clean and I like the location in North Miami, away from all the partying in Downtown and South Beach. 11
  • JW Marriott Marquis Miami: This is probably my favorite cruise port hotel in the city, though due to the location I tend to like the normal Biscayne Bay Marriott a lot better. That said the rooms here do feel a bit dated but they are clean. 11
  • The only saving grace about this property is the amenities, the pools are very nice and I like the secluded location in Key Biscayne. 11
  • Overall, we loved the location where you could hop in a Uber and only be 4-5 miles from good restaurants and away from crowds. 3
  • Aside from that, this is my go-to place to stay in Miami. Great location, beautiful lobby, great views from the rooms, staff is great. 11
  • Just one block from Biscayne Bay, in the bustling Brickell Financial District, this hotel is located in a prime central location that is very walkable with easy access to restaurants, shopping and entertainment and additionally, it is just steps from the Miami's Metromover's Financial District Station. 5
  • The brickell area also has a number of quite decent hotels and they are close to the metromover. We really enjoyed the Hampton inn Miami Beach...it was close enough to the beach we didn't need to have a car and there were tons of restaurants! 15
  • AC Hotel by Marriott Miami Bickl is located in the chic Bickl neighborhood. On camera80:00
  • The rooms here are 100% dated and probably in need of a renovation and the restaurants haven't been doing so well. It has a sweet location in a more quieter part of Downtown Miami but still it doesn't truly feel luxurious. 11
  • Looks like it has not been updated sine 2011 - is that correct? We stayed at this hotel in early March. I'll second the good reviews. We really enjoyed the hotel and the neighborhood. 14

  • If you're eating indoors, there are no windows, and no view at all. If you eat outside, then you have a view of the surrounding buildings, but again, you're on the 4th floor. 11
  • all right so we're up here at l'Italia this is hotel arts custom and bar and look at the beautiful view up here 40 stories up On camera1224:57
  • you have a great view of the of the bay and of the ocean so that's what your view looks like we again are on the 40th floor there are only three floors in this hotel 38 39 and 40 On camera123:31
  • A lifestyle-minded property in the heart of Brickell that blends long-stay comforts with hotel conveniences, highlighted by a 25th-floor lobby and panoramic skyline, bay, and Biscayne views. 10
  • this is almost as good as the view at the JW Marriott in Cancun but this is still on a on a sunny day absolutely stunning so floor-to-ceiling windows very very tall I'd say 15 feet On camera1217:37
Bed & Sleep1 mention · 1 filmed
  • the bed is amazingly comfortable I fell asleep for good two hours by myself I'm not a big kind of softmax as you know but this is definitely definitely more comfortable than the W Fort Lauderdale's mattress they share kind of same pedigree but this mattress is on real On camera1210:21
