- “Compared with South Beach (20 minutes south in an Uber), the Surfside area of northern Miami Beach is fairly dull, residential and lacking in shops and restaurants.” 19
- “On my last morning, I decided to try breakfast in the main dining room in Le Sirenuse. I had a nice Italian speaking waiter who made me feel like I was in Italy.” 4
- “Today, the nearly 100-year-old structure houses the hotel lobby, the oh-so-chic Lido Restaurant (don't sleep on the lobster tagliatelle and ask for a table on the terrace) and the palm-canopied Champagne Bar in the former ballroom.” 16
- “Thomas Keller's Surf Club restaurant has earned a Michelin star tow years in a row and serves up top-notch throwback cooking with Lobster Thermidor and Beef Wellington in a polished jewel box of a dining room.” 19
- “Dining at the resort brings together fresh coastal flavors and refined culinary techniques. From elegant oceanfront meals to relaxed casual dining, each experience is crafted with care and attention to detail, reflecting the high standards of the Four Seasons brand.” 24
- “I went to the restaurant recently too. The service was excellent but felt the food was just okay and maybe a bit over priced for what it was.” 1
- “When we were invited here for dinner to celebrate our anniversary, we had the privilege of sampling the 10-course tasting menu. Each item on the tasting menu was superior to the one before it.” 6
- “The last 2 courses of our dinner, chocolate sorbet and pistachio gelato, were perfect for cleansing the palate.” 6
- “Assuming you mean the Surf Club (Thomas Keller's restaurant). We ordered the Sole Meunier, True Ribeye, onion dip, several sides, Avocado Louie and the coconut cake and crème brûlée for dessert. I thought it was very well executed and they had some delightful twists on old school dishes.” 1
- “sitano, Italy. This hip restaurant features highly regarded cuisine from the Amalfi Coast.” 13
- “If you book Four Seasons I would get a package that includes Breakfast and it is quite nice either in their Edge Restaurant or in-room.” 3
- “Breakfast was a decent buffet, and they would also cook an omelet to order in the 16th-floor restaurant, but with tip breakfast for 2 was $60, and I didn't think it was worth it, especially considering a pretty good breakfast is included free at the Hampton Brickell.” 3
- “West Palm Beach is relatively close. We loved Le Sirenuse - so sad to hear it closed. The food there was amazing and the ambiance was incredible as well.” 14
- “I haven't been yet since the reno and would welcome your review, but specifically the club sandwich on their room service menu is my personal Platonic ideal and one against which I judge all other room service club sandwiches.” 1
- “The best restaurants in town, the most elegant bars, it feels like a breath of elegant air in an otherwise gung-ho Miami scene.” 25
- “Lunch was surprisingly good value - the 2-course $42 menu was great, but the overall menu for both lunch and dinner was too.” 7
- “At lunch, I ordered from the menu at the hotel's poolside restaurant Winston's, named for Churchill who apparently enjoyed spending time in his own cabana at the Surf Club back in the day. I didn't have to leave my cabana to place the order and felt like royalty when my lobster roll with French fries arrived.” 11
- “The hotel has a beautiful oceanfront spa and wellness center that draws from several worldwide techniques to create a menu focused on restorative and biologic principles. This luxurious environment shines thanks to a gorgeous marbled hammam, frosted glass, and gold Art Deco touches.” 13
- “Top-notch La Sirenuse restaurant and Champagne bar” 13
- “Breakfast is at Lido, the Italian restaurant housed in the original ballroom. I appreciated that it's not a buffet and is ala carte.” 1
- “The Surf Club Restaurant by Thomas Keller, operated independently of the hotel, delivers polished continental cuisine in a setting that captures the club's golden-age spirit.” 23

- “we stayed here two years ago for a couple weekend getaway and i was underwhelmed we paid about 2k a night and felt it was just meh. the restaurant thought is top tier” 1
- “I'm all about design when I travel and not a food blogger so I forgot to photograph my meals but they were all delicious.” 4
- “I thought the breakfast was pretty ok. No wow factor. If you order eggs and bacon, that's just what you get. A few strips of bacon on one plate and an egg on the other. For $50. Just no "wow" like breakfasts at the Andaz Maui or other top hotel” 14
- “As an emblem of Italian cuisine in Surfside, Miami, Lido Restaurant offers unparalleled elegance and flavor that sets it apart from the rest.” 22

- “Poolside service and food receives mixed reviews” 13

- “All these luxury brands offer exceptional service, but the Four Seasons brand elevates it to another level entirely. Our check-in process at The Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club felt like a personalized experience. A dedicated associate gave us a tour while we waited for our room to be ready.” 6
- “Right, we're going to close this door as right when you enter from this entrance here, you have this for your entry here now as well. It's a wide for your entry and you're looking straight down this beautiful hall with your art gallery right in your face. It's very, very nice.” On camera81:17

- “The team is responsive, professional, and genuinely seems to enjoy working here, which always shows in guest experience.” 1

- “At check-in, I was handed a glass of Champagne poured from a cart by the desk, which was a nice touch.” 11
- “45 USD for 2 eggs, a piece of bread, tea and orange juice? That is insulting. I don't mind staying at nice hotels, but not the ones who are so blatant in their desire to rip you off.” 14
- “The lovely bird-of-paradise indoor plants in massive circular pots added a nice touch of greenery and harkened back to the hotel's days as a private club in the 20th century.” 6
- “Beach days unfold on a broad 900-foot stretch of white sand, with attendants providing chilled towels, infused water, and thoughtful touches throughout the day.” 23

- “How did you find the service? Unexpectedly international (my breakfast was brought by a Russian on Four Seasons' fast-track management program) and reassuringly slick, as one has come to expect from the brand.” 19
- “The other problem with this place was the driveway out front. Valet parking is one giant mess (but we flew in and didn't have a car).” 3
- “I stayed there shortly after it opened and agree, as with most FS, the service is incredible, especially for Miami.” 14
Value12 mentions
- “They shouldn't-as they did when I stayed-levy a 20 percent service charge on the 'admin fee' of a room-service order as well as the food, bringing the cost of a modest breakfast (coffee, orange juice, and granola) to an astonishing $43.80, including sales tax (at least they didn't add service to that), excluding the further 'gratuity' they solicit below.” 19
- “I chose the "Enhance Your Experience" breakfast option, which cost $65 and included everything at the buffet plus 1 item from the "eggs & more" section of the menu. My egg white omelet with everything in it was divine.” 6
- “During our short 1-night stay, we took advantage of several amenities, and unlike many hotels, the value you receive in return actually surpasses the cost of the fee.” 6
- “Guests can enjoy beach loungers, umbrellas, and towels, all included in the resort fee, and attentive beach attendants are available to take lunch or drink orders.” 6
- “Even with the sky-high nightly rates, I intend to book my future stay through the Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts program to access extra perks - and I will hold off until summer when prices typically decline significantly!” 6
- “The price wasn't bad since we booked through AARP Rewards for Good, and we got free Wi-Fi for joining the Kimpton Rewards program before arrival.” 3
- “The less expensive city-view category is great, too: they look across Biscayne Bay to mainland Miami, which offers the opportunity to see some striking sunsets.” 19
- “The less expensive city-view category is great too: looking across Biscayne Bay to mainland Miami, and that way you get the sunset too.” 25
- “similar to above; the prices are just hard to swallow. Above and beyond typical "luxury" pricing” 14
- “As is standard across Four Seasons hotels around the world, previous guests cautioned that room rates here are pricey.” 17
- “we stayed here two years ago for a couple weekend getaway and i was underwhelmed we paid about 2k a night and felt it was just meh.” 1
- “I agree it's a fine property but their rates are insane almost consistently and it's not worth the rates they are asking. Although I have had solid stays here the value isn't there imo.” 1

- “And as I am sure you have gathered, the view wasn't bad either.” 7
- “You're on the corner, so you're getting light from all angles, right? You wake up in the morning, you look straight at that view every day. Every single day seeing those waves crash. There's nothing like that.” On camera811:26
- “So, this one over here is on the corner. This bedroom here is on the corner. So, you got a really nice kind of like panoramic view of the city skyline and what's all around you.” On camera89:18

Inside, elegant furnishings, luxurious materials, and thoughtful touches create an environment that feels both indulgent and deeply comfortable.” On camera91:07
Room35 mentions · 3 filmed
- “That suite is so gorgeous and then you walk out on the balcony, and it looks just sad and uninviting. Especially given the size of the balcony, there would be more than enough room for some higher quality outdoor furniture.” 14
- “My room is a symphony of gentle color and natural texture, echoing the sense of calm I feel from taking in the view. French architect and designer Joseph Dirand has composed a luxurious harmony of soft and sleek, from the sand-colored stone floors topped with a sumptuous monochromatic area rug to the fluted walls that mimic the rhythm of the drape in the curtains framing the view.” 16
- “Our room was ultra-luxurious indeed, but it was presented in a modern, subtle way. It featured soft sand color tones and charming off-white fluted paneling on the walls and ceiling.” 6
- “My ocean front room was perfection. Everything was so well designed and thought was put into every detail.” 4
- “Due to the cold and wet weather, the outdoor seating area wasn't set up but make sure you check it out too. There's also a more casual dining area on the terrace. It actually had different furniture when I visited in December but I much prefer this retro looking set.” 4
- “Walking into my oceanfront room, I am struck by the breathtaking expanse of turquoise, jade, and azure unfolding beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows and glass door to my private balcony.” 16
- “There were plenty of other places to charge, thanks to outlets with AC and USB-A power placed conveniently throughout the room.” 6
- “The room decor is stunning. I'll have to stay once COVID is over.” 14
- “The green marble mini bar area added more texture and pattern.” 4
- “The décor was decidedly modern and well done. Our room had a city view, and I think all rooms have a balcony, which was nice.” 3
- “My bags followed very shortly. This is probably one of the most unique Four Seasons in the world - the decor is simply stunning and I love how they respected the 'original' building.” 7
- “The design was impeccable, the furniture was incredibly well chosen and the bed was so comfortable, I didn't really want to get out of bed each morning.” 7
- “They said they will be getting more if you want one to try to get one now. It dawned on me while staying at the Surf Club that this room was a very similar ocean front size to my room in the 1 Hotel in which I stayed during Art Basel but it made such better use of the space.” 4
- “I think I may have even taken a nap outside - the furniture is that comfortable. I know we had lunch one day on the patio.” 14
- “I loved this hotel - I honestly couldn't ask for more (except for those things in the bathroom to be fixed). But the decor, design and, of course, the service, it was nothing short of perfect.” 7
- “We had a stunning twin bedded ocean front room which I find very hard to fault.” 7
- “The only criticism I had of the room is that the master controls for the lights and draperies were located on the left side of the bed and I sleep on the right. I wish hotels would put them on both sides so one person doesn't control everything.” 4
- “But this balcony here is great. It's right off of your living space that we just saw now and it's also off of the kitchen which we're about to show you right now as well.” On camera83:41
- “The room felt spacious too. There was an incredible amount of storage (and for 2 girls spending 4 days here, the closet space was really appreciated).” 7
- “Stylish Joseph Dirand-designed room interiors feature leather headboards, minibars, tech-savvy gadgets, and swish bathrooms.” 17
- “All rooms come with furnished terraces offering either ocean or city views, and since ours was an oceanfront room, we enjoyed direct Atlantic Ocean views throughout the day.” 6
- “I stayed in an oceanfront room with two doubles and the view was genuinely spectacular - and the room itself was spacious and beautiful.” 1
- “The pale neutral shades were chosen to compliment the sand and greenery outside. There is a lot of textures and shapes in the room that keep it from feeling cold.” 4
- “On top of the bar were 2 complimentary water bottles and a Nespresso machine for making coffee. We found coffee pods below, but it was surprising that there weren't any mugs around.” 6
- “The highest-ROI categories are the Premier Oceanfront Rooms and Oceanfront One-Bedroom Suites, which offer exceptional light and space compared with lower room types.” 23
- “The category to choose is an Oceanfront room; they're actually even lovelier than those in the double-aspect Premier ones.” 25
- “I loved the light settings right by the bed in my room. In addition to being able to control the drapes and shades, I could select different lighting modes: day, sunset, or "relax" mode.” 11
- “I stayed in an oceanfront room with two doubles and the view was genuinely spectacular - and the room itself was spacious and beautiful. Plenty of room to spread out, generous closet space, and I appreciated that the toilet was separate from the rest of the bathroom.” 1
- “Next to the TV, a cozy beige L-shaped sectional adorned with throw pillows was set up nicely against the window.” 6
- “Now, I do want to mention that this balcony in the back is massive. We didn't point it out. I didn't point it out enough, but this balcony is really, really big. So, before we go to the primary suite, I do want to show you this balcony. It is a really good size.” On camera89:48
- “Rooms have modern, subtly luxurious decor designed by Joseph Dirand.” 13
- “But also around you are these incredible views right off of the living room.” On camera82:20
- “The furniture on the patio is just sad and depressing.” 14
- “The category to choose is an Oceanfront room; they're even lovelier than those in the double-aspect Premier category.” 19
- “I'm not sure if it was the paneling or the windows, but the ceiling felt really tall, which made the room feel even more spacious. Just past the door to the left, there was a spacious built-in closet with individual doors. This offered a crazy amount of storage space for our belongings.” 6

- “As the elevator doors opened, the hallways gave off a cozy vibe, almost like we were strolling through a boutique condominium building rather than a hotel.” 6
- “We had a problem with some rowdy guests next door to our room. This place does a lot of bachelor/bachelorette party business, and these girls next door (there were several of them) kept the music, loud talking, and laughter going until 2 a.m.” 3
- “Beautiful art in this hallway here. Nice wide hallway. I love it.” On camera811:06
- “When the door was closed at night, I didn't the rain or wind outside that night or the baby next door. I was honestly shocked but they told me the hotel was hurricane proof so maybe that made it sound proof as well.” 4
- “While I appreciate connecting rooms, especially in other hotels where there may not be a lot of multi-bedroom suite options, it was nice here because the rooms were dead quiet. I heard no noise from other guests and the hotel was at occupancy while we were there.” 1
Location10 mentions
- “The hotel's location within the Surfside district gives guests a quieter beach vacation, though there's not much within the immediate area.” 13
- “The property's walkable neighborhood and calm beachfront make it especially attractive for families seeking luxury without South Beach's intensity.” 23
- “The hotel's location is ideal for those who want to enjoy a relaxing visit to the area.” 6
- “Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club You can't beat the location. You can't beat the location. It's situated in the exclusive Miami Beach Surfside neighborhood, with Collins Avenue at your doorstep, Bal Harbour shopping and South Beach nightlife nearby and Miami just a short drive away.” 15
- “I LOVE the Area 31 bar at the Epic hotel ... amazing views of the Miami River, Biscayne Bay, and Downtown Miami.” 3
- “I personally prefer Four Seasons and like the location. It is about a 10 minute walk to Mary Brickell Village and that area has lots of restaurants. It is also in a quiet part of town.” 3
- “The Four Seasons Surf Club, from here forth known as just the Surf Club, in located in Surfside which just a little north of Miami Beach and right near the Shops at Bal Harbour. It's a great location if you want to be at a luxury hotel a little removed from the fray of South Beach.” 4
- “The luxurious Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club is a historic property with just 77 rooms and a beautiful beachfront location just south of Bal Harbour.” 17
- “The hotel sits in Surfside, making it a strong fit for travelers comparing Miami hotels by neighborhood quality, transfer friction, and nearby dining.” 12
- “This hotel has a convenient location in downtown Miami's financial center, and it does have a two-acre rooftop pool terrace surrounded by palm trees and seventh-floor views, but it does feel like a city resort rather than a resort hotel or a place to take a vacation.” 18
Bed & Sleep1 mention

Bathroom12 mentions
- “The shower felt cavernous and had a rainfall and handheld fixtures.” 6
- “In the bathroom, there were thoughtful touches including mosquito-bite wipes. It wasn't the time of year for mosquitoes, but as someone who gets attacked by them every summer I thought it was smart that the Four Seasons provided guests with mosquito-bite wipes.” 11
- “One thing I really liked (not just on a 'sharing' scenario) was that the loo (+ extra sink) was separate from the main bathroom, which had a fabulous walk-in shower.” 7
- “I also loved that there was a separate shower and tub. I love taking a luxurious bath while traveling and did just that the first night.” 4
- “Exquisitely minimalist, calm and beautiful and so thoughtfully designed that you can see the sea from the shower.” 19
- “The shower toiletries smelled amazing and were exclusively made for the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, which I thought was neat!” 6
- “Without going into much detail, European loos do not have the same water reservoir as American ones. Also, the sink tap (in this second room) was too low and made it nearly impossible to wash one's hands. We girls struggled and I am sure everyone else will too.” 7
- “I can always tell if a man designed a hotel bathroom without thinking about women but this one was perfect. There was lot of counter space to spread out all my products and plenty of room for two people.” 4
- “One thing my wife especially loved about the room was the huge bathroom.” 6
- “They were excellent. There were two flaws in the 'toilet room' - whilst it was lovely to see all Duravit at the hotel for the first time (exactly like I have at home), European-designed loos need toilet brushes and there wasn't one.” 7
- “Keeping with the theme of spaciousness, there was a nice large marble bathtub adorned with brass fixtures and individually packaged soaps.” 6
- “The hairdryer was great (tested twice) and the little amenities were all there.” 7
