    I have been here a couple times over the years. One time was for an event and another was to get some drinks. I remember enjoying the experiences. It is an upscale experience. Well, I came back on Sunday for a mini work event. I wasn't here more than an hour. I will be back today and I am looking forward to it. The hotel has amazing views. They also have a very nice restaurant here. I do remember the pool area being so pretty. There is only valet parking which I find to be a negative. The conference room we were in Sunday was comfortable. I am making a presentation to 50 people today so hopefully I will still like it as much. Wish me luck!

    I love, love this hotel. I've stayed on numerous occasions -- both for work and pleasure. The entry is light and airy. It feels like you're IN Miami, if that makes sense. It's sexy and sleek. There's a top-notch sushi restaurant inside (I've previously reviewed) where they play live electronic-dance music in the evenings. Rooms and Accommodations: The rooms are nice and spacious. Room service is great too. There's also a rooftop bar that allows pool access. All-in-all, I love my experiences at the Kimpton Epic

    Overall I enjoyed my stay at the Kimpton EPIC hotel. The room was clean and I enjoyed the balcony in the mornings and night. Elevators were pretty fast as well so you're not left constantly waiting. The gym was a decent size with clean equipment which is on the same floor as the pool and spa. Guest services were quick to bring up extra towels and hand soap. The opening from the bathroom to the actual room I find to be odd since you can hear someone shower/bathe since it's only covered but a pull down curtain. Unless you're staying in a "honeymoon suite" it's kind of useless in my opinion. The first night we got in a little later than expected, and the restaurant had closed at 11 which I thought was a little early for Miami so we were directed downstairs. It turns into a very "night club" vibe with a pretty strict dress code. It seemed like a lot of people that are not guests or residences go to and which we were not dressed for. With that said I was able to hear some outside noice from 1 am - 5 am between guests in the hall and after market exhausts.

    FIVE STARS! EVERYTHING WAS SPECTACULAR AND IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The staff went above and beyond for the holidays. The restaurant had a great wait staff and accomodations due to my allergens. I loved most the complimentary wine during my check-in, which is available from 5-6pm, and the coffee bar in the mornings that also server hot cocoa. This hotel is simply a vacation away from home that truly gives resort vibes without the added fees. Several local restaurants in the area off Biscayne that are within walking distance and the most beautiful view of the Miami River DEFINITELY COMING BACK!

    Be careful not to pass it when pulling into the main entrance--big entrance and spacious. Don't rush if you are waiting for the valet to retrieve your car, as it took over 15 minutes after requesting it via the link sent via text. Easy process checking in. The front desk person had a bit of an attitude, but it could be due to the time of day. You need a room key to access the elevators. The room was nice and clean. However, the shower pressure was not great. Nevertheless, the view outside the room was awe-inspiring. And it's pretty spacious outside as well. The bed was very stiff and hard, and there was no alternative in the closet for non-feather pillows. And the pillows were so flat very uncomfortable for a night rest. No ice machine that I could see on the floor, the refrigerator was stocked so I did enjoy a drink. Room service menu was pretty good. The value is high for the quality of the room and bed. But it's in a great location walking distance to Whole Foods.

    When we first arrived at the hotel they were serving welcome drinks in the lobby. Pleasant start to the check in process. The ambiance during the festive season with the Christmas tree up was nice and inviting. I loved that the lobby is spacious and clean. Our room was wonderful. I appreciated that there was a bathtub and a standing shower. All the amenities provided were excellent quality. I'll definitely stay at this hotel in the future. Good location too!

    Such a great location near Bayside Marketplace and the cruise port. We stayed here as part of the Amex Platinum fine hotels program. $200 refund on the room price and $100 to spend at the hotel. They let you use the $100 toward the parking fee. Parking is crazy expensive but it's a right in downtown Miami. We were surprised that they charge tax on the parking and resort fee, so over $100 just in fees on top of the room rate. The hotel is so pretty and all the staff is friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

    AMEX FHR customer stay away. This hotel is okay, not the best. The restaurant, Area 31 is great with amazing staff like Jose and Carolina who treated me like I was entering their own home. The front desk staff like Domenica, Gerald, Angel, and Valeria are superb. Esp Valeria and Gerald who helped me out a TON. Valeria made sure I was comfortable and service and entire time and Gerald treated me like I was his best friend and advised me on routes to get back to the airport. The area 31 staff makes you feel like you're at at 5 star restaurant and the AMEX credits help out a ton too. I had an amazing spa and pool day on Sunday and the amenities here cannot be beat. I wouldn't stay here again but I had a good experience here with my first time in Miami, the hotel was very close to Brickell and downtown Miami and it was easy to get to South Beach, Opa Locka, Miami Gardens and other parts of Dade County that I had plans l visiting. I am typically a Hilton Honors kinda guy but the free breakfast credit and $100 stay credit that I put towards spa treatment made it worth it. The entire staff at the spa was AMAZING, my spa associate performed a facial on me THEN educated me on my skin and told me I was glowing (which I was) and told me I had really good skin. I will never forget that and she made me feel so special. 4 stars instead of 5 because they don't have microwave available for guests to use. Please promote Domenica, Gerald, and Claudia from the Area 31 restaurant to manage their own hotels, these three associates are the definition of hospitality.

    Excellent front desk experience. My sis spoke to gal so I didn't get her name she's pretty has Italian name parents came from Italy? She couldn't have been nicer very professional! Room was very clean good size large bathroom. I couldn't use shower as I couldn't get water in my eye and it was big rain showerhead! I was also afraid of tub being sight impaired can't remember if there was grab handle but quite high tub! Very quiet room but I'd suggest high floor as there's lots of loud traffic if u r facing road which wasn't a problem! We were high up great view anyway at night. It was free room for me they ihg credit card and was very happy with it. Usually free rooms are in dumps so I was very pleased! Breakfast no charge was excellent. Service with Juan he's perfection!!! Good latte great fruit cup etc. my omelette was way too done for me but the rest was excellent I'd probably just order eggs! We really were pleased staying here. We have stayed at intercontinental before but wanted to try this liked it better! Great walking path.

    Cute hotel, cute location, and cute amenities! I love Kimpton brand hotels and this suite did not disappoint. The room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed and living room. Staff were also lovely and we had a perfect view of the city. I will definitely be back.

    Great hotel, high quality, good service, very comfortable, great views from the balcony, nice spacious room! Came to Miami for a 3-day business trip and our work meetings were in the same hotel so it was very convenient. The 16th floor has a lounge restaurant and opens out to the pool area with tables and also a bunch of little alcoves with couch seating - really beautiful and nice. Every evening they have a complimentary wine in the lobby at 5-6 pm. The rooms don't have coffee makers and they don't provide those but they provided us with a kettle to boil water for tea. They have complimentary coffee and tea downstairs in the lobby every morning. We had dinner at the restaurant on the 16th floor one night. Food was good and so was the service and the ambiance. It's in a convenient location to the city center. We went to the Putt Shack one evening and then dinner at Italian restaurant Bellilos nearby. Overall great experience in this hotel.

    I stayed here for a quick trip to Miami and loved it. The location is convenient to everything Miami has to offer (little Havana, Wynwood, and obviously Brickell). The hotel is modern and clean with great amenities including a rooftop pool, two restaurants and a wine hour. The rooms are large. I stayed in a king suite and loved the size of the bathroom, the balcony and mini bar. The staff was very helpful and they were able to accommodate both an early check in and late checkout. Will be staying here again

    We attended a wedding reception at the Penthouse at Riverside Wharf in downtown Miami and had a…read morewonderful time. This is a great event venue mainly for a couple reasons: 1. It has excellent elevated views of the Miami skyline to the east and the Miami River, boats, and the W Flagler St Drawbridge (historical landmark, built in 1938) to the west. I believe the penthouse is located on the 10th floor of a relatively new building. 2. The venue is modern and versatile. The inside spaces (including restrooms) had a clean, updated look. For this event, there were multiple bars and food stations set up both indoors and outdoors. The dance floor was outside. The combination of string lights, rooftop patio decor, and the city skyline was beautiful. There was only one elevator to get everyone up and down, so there was a bottleneck there. They brought in a fire dancer to perform outside on the rooftop, which was really cool.

There's limited street parking, but there's an adjacent parking lot. I'd recommend using a valet service if you are hosting an event here. I absolutely loved the views here, which is why this place gets 5 stars!

However, there were some hiccups with the food and portions. The service was good. They always stayed on top of refills and ensured we had everything we needed. I ordered the charcoal grilled octopus appetizer and the grilled lamb chops with two sides. The food was delicious. However, It's a little embarrassing to charge 28 dollars for 3 small tentacles of an octopus one being so tiny, that it was burnt to crisp. Second, grilled lamp chops for $47 with no sides? Ordering the sides separately, the exotic wild mushrooms for $16 were salty. Creamy mashed potatoes $14 were delicious. So, essentially a complete dish was $77. My business partner's short rib was short on the rib but still tasted good. You're not even a one Michelin-star restaurant to command these prices for the portion. I do not mind paying more but not for these portion sizes, $105 without the cocktail, no thank you. The fine dining experience is overrated in today's market. Your staff, ambiance, and flavor of the food, saved this review. One and done.
