    Exceptional experience. Just plan on elevator time and have to pay for WiFi. Was in Miami for work and stayed at the Hotel Beaux Arts, located in the JW Marriott. Check-in was the usual breeze. There's a special card reader on the left side to get to this section of the hotel, which the main desk showed me. Late check-in, so was a quick trip up and the Hotel Beaux Arts concierge greeted me to do the check-in. Very friendly and gave me the lay of the floor-- there's a reception area and lounge, breakfast is available, internet logistics, and the like. Room was immaculate and the service staff was friendly throughout. The gym was top-notch. Very clean, weights and functional exercise machines, and free weights along with good space and no overcrowding. I ran looking at the buildings, river, and beautiful morning sun. Very close to a 5-star rating. Only big knocks are the excessive elevator waits mid-day and the fact that you have to pay for WiFi (in 2024). I literally waited 11 minutes for an elevator once and probably averaged 4-5 minutes during the day.

    Got upgraded to a corner king room near the top and loved the room and the view! This hotel is inside the Marriott hotel (they work together on some things, but offer a different experience on others). I got an email ahead of time explaining check in was on the 39 floor, but by the time I got to the hotel, I forgot this and was confused, so it was helpful that the Marriott front desk reminded me. Once I got to the right place, check in was smooth and they walked through the hotel benefits well. There is a daily amenity fee here ($42), which I knew before booking, but it covers perks like a free drink credit, a $42 restaurant credit, museum tickets, and a 30 minute massage. They didn't have any massage appointments available the day I was staying, but offered one for later in the week, which worked out great!

    When deciding where to stay during my trip to Miami, I took a number of things into consideration: the hotel brand, the location, and the amenities. I'm definitely more of a hotel person vs Airbnb, and I like staying in places that have a solid offering (even if I'm out and about the majority of the day). I ultimately settled on staying in Downtown Miami, as it was easy to get to Miami Beach as well as other places in the city on my itinerary. Since I'm a Bonvoy member, I naturally gravitated to Marriott which is where I found Hotel Beaux Arts. The photos and reviews looked great, the location was a yes, so I decided to book it. As with my other hotel reviews, I'll separate this review into pros and cons - so here we go! Wait - first, a little context. It's worth noting that HBA is a hotel in a hotel. It is actually housed *inside* the JW Marriott Marquis in downtown Miami, occupying the 38th, 39th, and 40th floors. They have their own front desk area on the 39th floor, as well as a separate restaurant, bar, and lounge area. Apart from that, the other accommodations are shared with the JW Marriott. This was an interesting concept, and one I had not seen before. Anyway, onto the pros/cons. One of the biggest pros for me was the decor. HBA is part of Marriott's Autograph Collection which is their brand of hotels that elevate the visitor experience by providing interesting/higher end decor and architecture. They sometimes are housed in repurposed buildings, and typically don't look like a traditional hotel chain. HBA is no exception - its modern decor and opulent design look great. There are also a lot of accommodations; being inside a JW Marriott gives you access to their pool area, fitness center, bowling alley, pickleball court, as well as a few other activities. They offer a breakfast buffet every morning (for a price), as well as 24/7 room service. Upon check in I was given a voucher for a free drink at the bar, and they paired it with a mini charcuterie board which I thought was a nice touch. HBA guests also have access to the restaurants and lounge areas Location is another pro for me - it was super easy to reach all of the Miami hotspots. The main strips of Bayside and Brickell were walking distance, and Wynwood, Miami Beach, and Little Havana were a short drive. The room itself was another pro - it was spacious and modern with great views of the city (my room being on the 40th floor didn't hurt). It had everything one would need in a hotel room - some standouts for me was a coffee bar and a selection of nuts and trail mix (separate from the mini bar). The bed was too soft for my personal taste, but that's more of a me issue. As far as cons, I don't have many. I think being a hotel in a hotel kind of takes way from the uniqueness of HBA - meaning walking in from outside you're not technically in the hotel and have to go upstairs for your dedicated front desk. If you're driving, traffic can be a little jammed here depending on the time of day, and it's not exactly a striking hotel from the exterior. I also think depending on what you're in Miami for, the location might not work for you. Despite it's central location, you're also in a heavy business district; if you're planning to spend most of your time in Miami Beach for instance then HBA isn't ideal. I didn't interact with much of the staff, but whenever I did they were very friendly and always willing to help. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Beaux Arts - the aesthetics, location, and accommodations made for a really pleasant experience. With so many hotels around Miami, I would want to explore others that the city offers, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend HBA to anyone looking for a recommendation.

    Really nice experience at this hotel recently. It's actually the top three levels of the JW Marriott (38-39-40) and is separate to the JW and operated by a wonderful staff of friendly, can-do associates. The check-in area is on the 39th level. We received a really nice welcome and introduction to the hotel and the services offered. Our room was very modern and had a lot of extra bells and whistles that we're not used to. The hotel is in good proximity for an easy walk to Bayside which has a ton of stores And outside bars. Overall an A++ experience.

    A mixture of great and could be much better. My room was spectacular. Large, with warm modern decor. Lots of wood and leather. The bathroom was huge, with a separate shower and a Jacuzzi tub. Two sinks with plenty of space. Check-in was efficient, although it was in the Marriott lobby on the ground floor because the 39th floor Beaux Arts lobby had not been reopened since being closed due to COVID. The L'Atelier was also still closed, further detracting from the allure of the Beaux Arts as being distinct from the JW Marriott Marquis that occupies most of the rest of the building. Some inconvenient aspects of the room include what appears to be a few form/over-function design choices. The sinks in the bathroom are shallow and produce a lot of splashing when being used. The faucets for the sinks are operated electronically. The water comes out only as a trickle (perhaps as an attempt to reduce splashing?). I was never able to get hot water out of the faucets--it was lukewarm at best--despite pushing the temperature button up to full red. (Water temperatures for the shower and tub were just fine. They used typical mechanical faucet controls.) One must wonder if whomever made the decision to buy these--admittedly good-looking--sinks and faucets had personally tried using them to wash hands or brush their teeth. Nonetheless, Housekeeping in the rooms was terrific. Everything was clean and shiny. There were plenty of fresh towels. There were two plush bathrobes in the closet, but I was surprised there were no slippers because almost all the flooring was tile in the bathroom and hardwood elsewhere. Cleaning in the hallways, however, was a different matter. An empty cocktail glass sat in the elevator lobby for more than 24 hours. I noticed it when checking into my room in the afternoon. It was still there that night. The next afternoon, it was still there but someone had added an empty container of something (a protein drink?) to the pile. Riding the elevator in the afternoon, I saw an empty water bottle. Returning to my room the second night, I was more disappointed than surprised to see trash in the hallway near my room. (See photos.) It occurred to me that I didn't see any waste containers in the common areas. This aesthetic decision should be balanced with frequent monitoring when guests have no place to put their waste. Lighting in the room can be described as plentiful, but too many lights for two few switches. It's typical for floor and table lamps to have their own, independent switches. No problem there. But, as far as I could tell, the only switch for the ceiling and wet bar lights in the living room was far away by the door to the room. (Yes, this aspect being an inconvenience says something about the size of the room.) Why there isn't a switch next to the bar or the bedroom door is mystifying. There is a glass window between the living room and bedroom. Thus, turning the lights off is necessary for a good night's sleep.

    This hotel is fantastic. For the first time in a very long time, this hotel actually acknowledges the Platinum membership benefits. Customer service is outstanding. Room is magnificent. Views are breathtaking. Breakfast is delicious.

    A hotel within a hotel? Yes, that does exist! @hotelbeauxartsmiami Hotel Beaux Arts is a modern boutique hotel located in the top floors of the JW Marriott Marquis Miami. A separate lobby with a personal concierge and priority access to all amenities, I felt spoiled with options thanks to the facilities of both the Beaux Arts and the Marriott. L' Atelier was my favorite place to un-wine during the holidays. Open only to Hotel Beaux Arts guests, this exclusive setting included a cocktail lounge with modern art and views overlooking the Biscayne Bay.

    I am in love with this hotel. I'm so glad I came here and tried the place. I felt like a queen. I felt like the whole bar was own personal bar and it was so intimate and Vladi was so nIce and took care of me. Check out my pics. The hotel itself was so beautiful , chic and classy. Just the way I like my hotels. Will definitely be back here!!! Trust!!!!

    This hotel is just stunning! It's located in the same building as the JW Marriott so it can be quite confusing for people who are looking for it. The rooms are to die for, starting with the spacious hallways that makes you forget you're in a hotel. My favorite room in this hotel is the Warhol suite as it has some of the most breathtaking views of the clear water and gigantic yachts parked below, stretching from the bedroom to the master bathroom (yes there are 2 bathrooms in this suite). The design is modern with lots of interesting gadgets such as a touch pad remote that controls the entire room. I've stayed in many luxurious and high-end rooms, but not a lot of hotels are as hi-tech and futuristic as Beaux Arts, which has got to be my favorite feature. If you're bored reading walls of text, I'll just sum this hotel up with a short description of why I love it so much: it is dripping in luxury, modern and sophisticated decor, and is filled to the brim with hi-tech gadgets that I'd love to have in my home some day. It's a very good representation of how glamorous and decadent Miami/South Beach is. Be warned, you won't want to leave...

    As good as it gets, 4.5 stars for us but we round it up. Check in at 39 floor, good if it's not busy! It's an Autograph Collection Hotel of the Marriott. Love the L'Atelier Restaurant & Lounge, private for 3 floors of Hotel Beaux Arts guests only, on top of Hotel JW Marriott Marquis, so you got to have all the Marriott amenities but a whole lot more. Love the suite we were in 4002, view of Biscayne Bay, skyscraper, yachts, boats, blue sky, and 180 degree view. Comfortable king bed, gigantic TV, automatic curtains, big jacuzzi tub, shower, extra bathroom, office, living room, iLLY Espresso machine, full stocked bar, his & her bath sink, and Bang and Olufsen entertainment systems. Love the TV on the mirror in the bathroom, the LED rainbow water faucet. I spent a bit of time to play with it! Molton Browne bath products, love! Black robes offered too! Love the state of the art gym and pool, shared with the Marriott! So the virtual golf, ping pong, foosball, 3D theater, virtual bowling, and a full basketball court, and more activities with your family. Breakfast buffet is $26, complimentary because we were PLAT member. Fresh juice, illy Coffee, love it! We booked the package deal with valet parking & we got Comp tickets to the Frost Science Museum and the Perez Museum. The boutique hotel boasts innovative technology, contemporary design, an intimate setting, makes you want to stay in and relax. They offer Mariano Bartolome Indoor Golf School, Enliven Salon and Spa too. The hotel is about 15 minutes walk to Port of Miami, the American Airlines Arena and upscale dining. Only 44 guest rooms and suites featuring complimentary WiFi, iPad, how about that! A few minor things: - Expect to see your neighbor naked walking around at the Epic Hotel Residence across the building. - Only 4 elevators for all of 41 floors of both hotels, we have to wait longer time when it's prime time lunch/dinner/weekend. So prepare extra 10 minutes to your event/dinner. - The LED rainbow water faucet, except it doesn't work as well! Water splashing over you. - No slippers! - When we come back for an extra key, 2 other guests were in front of us. Expected to way! Since they only have 1 check in desk! - Breakfast buffet is $26, complimentary because we were PLAT member, if pays, not worth it! - All restaurants on the premises auto added 18% Service Charge so keep an eye on your receipt. A true luxury, peaceful, quiet and we love it! We are already looking forward to return soon!

There is no carpet in the room I was in (basic king- not the elite level) and pets are not allowed. Service animals only.

The air conditioner worked with no issues, pillows are very soft, bed was firm, but not uncomfortable and I slept better in that bed, than my own. There is a master light switch to control the overhead light in the entry and bathroom. You can operate them separately (it just takes some flipping of lights to figure it out). Decent water pressure and nice, hot water at night. Morning time I suggest getting your shower in early. Hot water is still present but not as hot as it was the night before. Tip- I took my shower at 5/6am the morning of checkout and the water was hot and perfect for a nice shower before leaving for cruise. Staff was always smiling, friendly and willing to assist. Carlos at the concerige desk is very helpful, ask for his recommendations and he is more than happy to assist. The 7th floor has the laundry facility, but many machines were out of order.

My gf and I stopped through here on our way out before boarding our flights later in the afternoon. If you're toting your luggage and not a hotel guest, you will have to find another hotel to store your luggage while enjoying this most decadent brunch experience.

The restaurant is gorgeous with various spaces designed differently but keeps to the exotic Asian theme. Dining in the atrium near the water feature in the middle with stage for the musicians is where we had our experience. Olga was our server. She brought us our special beverages not available at the bar: Bloody Mary's and endless bubbly in our glasses The offerings here are more than I can name, but there is something to satisfy every craving. The favorite for me is the caviar bar. It comes with all the proper fixings on a blini with Crème fraîche. Do you need a vodka shot to go with? Yes, that's also available also at the caviar station. Fresh raw oysters, clams or shrimp cocktail is available in abundance with everything else here. The ceviche was great. I passed on all the various noodles but had to have some lamb curry and basmati rice- delicious! I had some Peking Duck and leg of lamb at the meat station. The filet mignon and lamb chops was ordered and brought to the table. The leg of lamb and filet were slightly dry but still good. The lamb chops with chimichurri sauce was amazing- nuances of vibrant flavors. Assorted fresh fruits were a colorful collection of enticements. I saw some papaya and enjoyed its fresh, sweet juiciness. I am not a dessert person but had to try the key like pie. Then of course, the matcha dessert is a sitting temptation next to the pie. So, my dessert spoils were more than intended. What the hell right? Lol That was the sweet ending to my Setai brunch. There was so much more such as bread, fried stuff, eggs, bagel station, toast etc. One can only eat so much. I stuck to enjoying my favorites. The experience is pricey but so worth it. It is truly the best brunch experience I've ever had. - better than Vegas and a cruise ship!! I always have to experience a Setai brunch whenever in Miami!

    Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami is located near the financial district, is within walking distance of…read moreBiscayne Bay, restaurants, and stores, and is a 15-minute drive to the cruise port. My husband and I stayed at this hotel for one night prior to a cruise. We used credit-card points to pay for the room. The employee at the front desk spoke nicely with us and allowed us to check into our room early. Our room had a balcony, king-sized bed, television, desk and chair, sofa, closets, large walk-in shower, wi-fi, and views of the bay. The room was comfortable and clean, but we could sometimes hear our neighbor's loud music. I did notice that the floor boards had gaps and that some wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling. Building amenities included a business center, meeting rooms, swimming pool, fitness center, a restaurant, etcetera. This hotel has a restaurant called Caña, and we ate one meal there. I will review it separately under its Yelp listing, but it was decent.

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Five star experience. Our room w/ balcony and ocean view on…read morethe 24th floor was simply amazing! Room was very clean and big. It has a huge, nice modern bathroom. The halls of this hotel is very nice and high-end. The front desk staff was very welcoming which we really appreciate :) They have a nice restaurant that serves really good Cuban food! They even have a lunch special that can't be beat! Hotel is in a really good location. a 10min walk to Brickell City Center which we absolutely loved. It's in a very safe neighborhood so walking to the mall even at night doesn't feel sketch. They also have valet. Overall a great stay. So happy we've found our Brickell spot! We will definitely be back! Thank you Hyatt :)

    Yummy poolside food, most places takes like microwave food but this was actually amazing. Waiters…read morewere very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed 24/7. Loved the coconut drinks!! 4 stars because the wings were extremely dry like overcooked and hard.

    Ultimately, this review is mostly moot as the hotel is planned to be demolished in May (I wish I…read morehad known this prior to booking) and that explains a lot about the property. First, the good, it's an awesome location on the southern tip of Brickell Key. The pool was wonderful and gets mostly continuous sun exposure during the day. My balcony faced west so I had sun during the afternoon as well (perfect for a tan). Honestly, I never felt like I needed to leave the resort being a pool guy. The base price room was spacious and mostly clean with a separate shower and tub. The bad- the service wasn't great here. I felt like anytime I needed something I had to ask 3-4 times before staff would remember (including freebies that were part of the room rate). The one time I asked a concierge for assistance he was super brash telling me to go talk to the front desk. The property felt old and in need of a renovation (again it's being demolished so not surprising in that context). Also, a lot of the ads for the resort promote its beach which no longer exists- it's now a model home for the condos going in. The hotel is pricey and gratuity is auto-included at 20% for everything which would be fine if the service was better and they didn't ask for additional tip on top of it. I wish I stayed here 20+ years ago because it felt like in its hay day this was a swanky hotel. Today, it's tired, on its last months, and the staff really don't seem like 5-star talent (as a benefit to the doubt most people would be unmotivated if things were shutting down too). Part of me is excited to try the new hotel whenever it opens, part of me wonders if the poor service is just part of the brand. The gym was tacky- literally they just through equipment in 6ish guest rooms with the doors propped open. Kind of funny but not 5-star hotel caliber.

    Let me start by saying we had a blast here! We've been here in the past, but this time we had an…read moreopportunity to have a balcony, ocean view pool suite, and I jumped on the opportunity. From the moment we arrived with check-in, getting our bags to our room, we were treated like true VIPs. Once we got to the room, we had time to change and head to the pool. The evenings were great as we were able to sit out on the balcony and relax, while at the same time being in the lobby or hitting the restaurant was always great. We took advantage of the on-site yoga classes and the beach every day while we were there. The beach area was nice, in the servers supporting the beach I felt did their best to accommodate all of the guests outside. If you're a frequent AMEX user, I would definitely recommend going through your AMEX as it really did just make a difference. The grounds were well kept the pool was clean. The staff was friendly and most importantly, we had an overall great experience. I would definitely recommend it for anybody coming to South Beach to come here, as it's centrally located and it's easily accessible to lots of other activities you may want to consider.

The cabana…read moreitself was cute, comfortable, and gave just the right amount of shade and far enough from the neighboring cabanas so it felt semi private. Service was great. Our attendant was attentive but not hovering, kept the drinks coming, and food came out fast. Everything we ordered was solid -- perfect pool-day food and refreshing cocktails. There is a minimum spend requirement for the cabana, but it was super easy to hit between food and drinks. And considering you're paying for a dedicated space, service, and a prime poolside setup, it felt worth it. Overall, it was the perfect day to unwind and feel a little luxe. I'd definitely book the Ivy cabana again.

I was in Miami for a day and half and wanted to soak up some sun and enjoy myself being close to restaurants and the beach . I love this boutique styled hotel and the beautiful rooms that are so beautiful with the turquoise lighting ( my favorite color). I feel safe traveling solo here and never have had any issues. I love the pool and bar area and the decor of this hotel. They offer valet parking which I didn't need as I used car service from the brightline but have always trusted my trucks with their valet attendants. I've already booked another stay for September !

The elevators are a bit slow, the hotel was built in 1920. Its a big elevator. The bedroom is super nice. My partner is a globalist so we got a really nice room. I wish they had a little more amenities in the bathroom like make up remover, cotton and shower cap. If they did have it, I didn't see it. I do have to say, its loud at night. I couldn't really sleep. People were still out partying at 4am. If you don't mind loud then this place is good. The view of the main road was nice, I got to people watch. They also have beach service where they bring out the chairs and have service. We didn't have time since we had to board the Royal Caribbean ship. Check out was super easy. I would recommend this place.

The Brickell area is a vibe, walkable and full of restaurants and shops, which makes it a perfect pre- or post-cruise stay. The hotel's proximity to the cruise port was a huge plus. Check-in is self-service, but assistance is available if needed, which made the process easy and convenient. The king bed does take up most of the room, stretching from the window to the wall, so the room feels a bit compact--but it's thoughtfully designed. The sink is located in the main room across from the bathroom, and I actually found the setup pretty functional. The shelves around the sink were stocked with a washcloth, hand towel, hair dryer, and tissues, plus hand soap and lotion at the end of the counter. There was also enough counter space for toiletries. There's an open closet area and a nice touch of wall art, and the laminated wood flooring gave the room a clean, modern feel. One of my favorite features was the in-room iPad that controls everything--such a fun tech-forward touch. I also absolutely loved the decor throughout the hotel. The colors are vibrant, playful, and stylish without feeling overdone. The second-floor seating areas were spacious and inviting, and the rooftop/pool space was another highlight. There's also a bar on the second floor with outdoor seating, which is a great spot to relax and people-watch. Overall, this hotel has a fun atmosphere, smart use of technology, and an unbeatable location. I'd definitely stay here again, especially for a quick stay before a cruise.

That said, the room itself was extremely small. It had all the essentials, but there wasn't much space to move around or unpack, so it felt a bit cramped, especially for a longer stay. If you're planning just a short visit or don't mind compact accommodations, it works, but it's definitely something to keep in mind. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the stay smoother despite the limited room size. Overall, I'd say M Citizen is a great choice for its location and vibe, but pack light and don't expect spacious quarters.
