Best Hotel in Miami

by mbrown987

I have stayed at this hotel for the past few years and it's the only true luxury hotel in Miami. While not on the beach, it's just minutes away, and is worth the drive. In addition to the rooms, the restaurant, Azul, and the spa should not be missed.

• Pros: Spa, Dining
• Cons: Location

This posh, playful hotel combines urban energy with Zen luxury.

The Scene
Orchids and bamboo abound, framing gorgeous views of Biscayne Bay and the colorful downtown skyline. The 327-room property on tony Brickell Key manages to capture the dynamic energy that makes Miami unique, without losing the Zen luxury vibe that made the company famous.

The Details
Sophisticated travelers want for nothing. Frette linens cover the cloud-like beds. Molton Brown toiletries stock the bathrooms clad in Spanish marble. Bose Wave radios greet guests with soft jazz upon arrival. Touches like 10-foot-high ceilings and original artwork on the walls make the rooms feel more luxury residence than large hotel. Add to all this incredibly attentive service that prides itself on catering to guests' whims.
