Beach

Beautiful hotel with direct beach access. Odd clientele, but that could just be me. Lovely room, nice on site restaurant and bar.

Wow! The Miami Beach EDITION is a class act. The vibe and staff elevate an already lovely hotel. I love the feel of the entire place. Cozy yet elegant, every inch feels so welcoming. The spa and restaurant offered perfection. The big backyard and pool area feels lost in time. Recently updated, it still feels classic and lovely. Unexpected fun is such a treat. There is a bowling alley and ice skating rink. They are a must try! From the lobby to the rooms, I fell in love. I cannot wait to return.

We LOOOOOVE the edition hotels. With that said, the price points in Miami are painful for what you get in quality and quantity. The fruit plate was not good (but it wasn't peak fruit season) so I wouldn't recommend ordering if you like your melon to have flavor etc. also $17 for a latte seems steep. The kitchen went above and beyond to accomodate my food allergies however charged me $120 for a side of chicken breast, plate of spinach, avocado and cooked carrots. The staff is SO accommodating. So beyond the food quality and the insane prices, I feel like you really get treated like royalty--though nothing is free lol. Expect to pay an arm and a leg. But this location and hotel layout and room layout just cannot be beat. 10/10 but EXPENSIVE.

Great Stay - thank you Sophia Cuello! Enjoyed the weekend at Miami Edition. Great hotel with gorgeous location. Certainly a fun vibe that is upscale and good crowd. Matador room is incredible. Enjoyed great service and a great view. Will certainly come back. Have been coming to this property for 5+ years. Thank you to the team for a great stay.

What an amazing experience inside of the Miami Beach edition hotel. I was in sandbox area they call it for the hotel and it was amazing this hotel is beautiful the 1% I seen of it so I can only imagine the rest of it. The staff was extra nice and welcoming. I absolutely loved it . And in the future look forward to booing a stay

My partner and I stayed at the Edition for Thanksgiving weekend. The price is up there but the hotel staff are very friendly and the hotel is beautiful. The hotel has 2 pools, a bar and restaurant, spa, gym, bowling alley, and ice rink. The downside of this hotel is that there is a lot of extra fees - a $65 /day valet car fee, resort fee, and both are taxed. If you have Marriott status, beware the breakfast/points/upgrade options are not available here. We also got charged an extra fee for buying something from the market, but they were able to help us right away to fix that. Apart from that, we would have appreciated more details about the stay, such as the events they host in the basement and the hours for hikes and bowling alley and ice rink. Regardless, the hotel is very clean and luxurious, in a great location with an exit to the beach. The room is cleaned multiple times a day. The downsides of the room is that the sink is very shallow and the vent does not help much in the bathroom. We were told we would have an ocean view but it was more like a partial ocean view. There is complimentary coffee in the morning and espresso at 3pm. The hotel provides beach chairs for the day and bikes (2 hours) which came in handy when we wanted to bike the boardwalk. The gym hosts classes every morning that you must RSVP for prior, and offers extra training at an addition cost. The pool area has restaurants and they provide towels as well as floaties until the evening. Other fun activities include a bowling alley and ice rink which turn into a bar at night with a DJ (the DJ is great!!). I believe that there is a food/drink minimum after 8pm to reserve the bowling lanes. Overall I think this hotel is in a great location and has fun activities in the hotel and around the hotel. If you're looking for a luxurious stay in Miami this is the place!

My husband and I just visited this hotel for our wedding anniversary and had the best time! The property is beautiful but the staff/service was incredible! Marina was super kind and went above and beyond to make our hotel experience the best it could be. We are so grateful! We also loved having Gabby serve us at the pool every day. She was very attentive and always made us feel taken care of. We loved getting to meet Kayla Hopewell too.. she took time out to take pictures of us on the property and was so friendly!!! I have nothing but good things to say about our experience. :) We loved this location as well. It's quiet, clean, and it's close to lots of restaurants and shopping.

Checking in!

Don't try to bowl here! We stayed at this hotel. The room was small but nice, the pools were nice, the restaurant was good, the bar staff took care of us, we had a good spa experience, but we weren't able to bowl. We came down to bowl the first night we stayed there, and was told there was a $30 food and drink minimum to bowl. Because we just had a few rounds at the bar upstairs, we said we'll be back the next evening . We came back the next day (Monday evening), ready to spend $30 to buy a couple rounds so we could bowl, after having dinner at the hotel restaurant. The bowling lanes were empty! On Monday they told us if we wanted to bowl for an hour, there was a $300 (!) food and drink minimum. We just had dinner--and spent quite a bit of money at the hotel restaurant -- so this was a non-starter, and there were no other options for us. We expect a hotel like this to take care of customers, not send them away. We will never stay here again.

Room

Very modern, if not ultra modern. Stark white exterior, lobby, corridors, employees all in white linen, and rooms with wood wall accenting in the rooms. The corridors do need to be painted as white shows all scuff marks and such. Staff is friendly and professional. Two pools and beach access. Bonus miniature cupcake like desserts from the hotel restaurant in the room as a welcome. Quite delicious. Will have to try the restaurant, the Matador Room. Fun aspect is the world's shallowest sink in the bathroom.

Service: To start off, the valet service was excellent, the men were quick, attentive, and friendly. They handled our vehicle with care and brought it around in a timely manner. The front desk made check in super easy, they offered water and walked us to the elevators. The gentleman there way friendly and very polite. The cleaning team were also very welcoming and polite. Room Quality: The room was nice, however for the cost and hype around the hotel I expected a little better. Upon entering the room there was a lovely fresh aroma. The bathroom was gorgeous and beautifully designed. The bed was on the smaller side and although the view of the beach was lovely, it would have been nice to have a balcony; although I get the absence of one could be for safety. The room had two fluffy and comfortable bath robes, one had black and brown marks on the arm and back. The bathroom counter was a bit grimy and could have used an extra wipe. Room Amenities: Pretty standard TV, mini refrigerator, safe, iron, mini bar, and mini essentials all at a cost. Hotel Amenities: Aside from the beach and pool access, there is a bar with a bowling alley and ice skating ring to enjoy. The hotel offers serval spa service including hair and nail salons and maternity massages. Overall it was a nice stay, it lacked on the room cleanliness but not horribly so.

The food, staff, and the service was amazing and friendly. The property is beautiful. One specific memory that touched me. While I was eating at one of the restaurants Tropicale, I believe it was the manager Ray or Raymond, but I briefly mentioned to him that I loved the house hot sauce that they had. He later surprises me with a bottle to take home and that kindness, attentiveness and thoughtfulness really made my trip and made my overall feeling about this property as positive. I unfortunately didn't get to say goodbye or thank him. I really hope he sees this and can be recognized for it.

When I need a nice beach day, I typically go to The Edition and grab a cabana. The food and drinks are always great. (Lobster roll is my fav) Service good. And the vibes and views and beach waves are always what the doctor ordered!

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. Luckily we arrived early enough to our reservations to sort that out. Reservations are a must if you don't want to wait. 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!

I love this hotel, the pool, the beach, the restaurants and the valmont spa. We had a great time…read more Please note that the spa reception is on the first floor across from the hotel check-in. You must walk through the lobby and across the outside area. The sauna and the one person steam shower is located here. You Check-in then you get changed into the robe and walk across the lobby check-in area to the elevators. You are walking through the area with all the guests and their luggage in your super large robe that doesn't close very well. I did not enjoy this. Some disappointing things which was not their fault is the parking garage construction noise even on Sundays. The noise took away from my spa experience. They did nothing for the noise control. Also, the SPA requests you must arrive 30 minutes before your treatment time. I got my parking validated BUT we stayed for brunch who also validated our parking but we went over the 4 hours so we got no discount for parking and we were charged the full $35 fee plus tip for the valet. The valet staff was quite nasty telling me we were there too long for the discount BUT each one of those alone qualified for a discounted valet. You can not do both in the 4 hour window.

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.

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 started with a cappuccino, which was nicely balanced and great foam. Then I ordered the Local Breakfast. It came with two scrambled eggs, multigrain toast, home fries, and I swapped the meat for avocado. The eggs were nicely cooked, potatoes had great flavor but were a bit cold and very fresh but I imagine freshly made are very solid. The toast was not bad. Avocado was fresh. Good portion and good prices. My friend and I shared a pancake that was pretty good but lacked a bit of flavor but was still enjoyable. I would definitely come back and try other items as they have an all day menu!

5 STARS - Incredible Service at The Local House…read more The Local House is already one of the best spots in Miami Beach -- beautiful atmosphere, great food, and a relaxed coastal vibe -- but what truly takes the experience to the next level is the exceptional service, especially from Ana. Ana is absolutely amazing. She's warm, attentive, and has that rare ability to make you feel genuinely cared for without ever being intrusive. She knows the menu inside and out, gives thoughtful recommendations, and brings such a positive energy that it transforms the whole dining experience. You can tell she really loves what she does. Every time Ana has been our server, we've left happier than when we arrived. If you're visiting The Local House, do yourself a favor and ask for her -- she makes the meal unforgettable. Highly recommend this place, and especially Ana.

It's perfectly located for anything you want to do, all the good food spots, bars, places, etc. The next day we went straight to the beach and they provide complimentary beach chairs, towels and umbrellas upon request and you just walk yourself to the beach with them. There's nothing like Miami Beach! The water was perfect and it felt so good to just defrost on the sand and dive into the gorgeous turquoise water. After a few hours at the beach, we went back, enjoyed late check out and headed to crunch fitness - which was absolutely worth it! We were able to leave our bags at the front desk while we worked out, grabbed a late lunch, some drinks and then got to come back and enjoy the rooftop pool during happy hour for drinks and snacks until sunset. It was the perfect Miami daycation that we needed!

The staff were generally friendly, and a few were especially helpful. They handled three packages I had shipped to the hotel efficiently, though there was a sizable per-package fee. Small touches like afternoon boozy gelato samples and a lobby change machine for breaking $20s into $5s were appreciated. Breakfast at Lolo's was decent. My Marriott status included breakfast for two, though the included menu was much shorter than the regular one and the portions were modest. Still, the food was cooked to order, tasted good, and the servers kindly let me order both breakfasts since I was traveling alone. I didn't try the Japanese restaurant on site, but I heard good things and enjoyed the neighborhood restaurants instead, especially La Grande Boucherie. I paid a substantial premium for an oceanfront double room, but I'm not sure I would do that again. The balcony and glass door were fairly small, and the balcony felt boxed in for privacy. Next time I might prefer a cheaper park-side room on a higher floor, which could still offer a nice park and ocean view. The biggest disappointment was the late checkout. My Marriott Platinum Elite status is supposed to include guaranteed 4 p.m. late checkout, but the hotel would not honor it. Each day I was told to check again later, and in the end they could only offer 1 p.m. That created real scheduling problems, since I had planned around the advertised benefit. With no good place in the hotel to work or take calls after checkout, I ended up going to the airport hours early. The status is supposed to provide a room upgrade, but that wasn't available either. A couple of other issues matched complaints I had seen in recent reviews. One elevator stopped for several minutes with a group of us inside and did not respond to the buttons, which was uncomfortable even though the door eventually opened. I also received a call inviting me downstairs for a "welcome gift," which turned out to be a Marriott Vacation Club sales pitch. That should be presented more honestly. Overall, this was a decent stay and I might return. But given the failure to honor the guaranteed 4 p.m. late checkout, I would compare other options carefully before booking again.

High ceilings, marble everywhere, and a buzz that tells you you're in the right place. What impressed me most? There's genuinely plenty to do for all ages, which is not something you can say about every Miami resort. Whether you're traveling with kids, teens, adults, or a multigenerational crew, everyone finds their lane here. The pool scene is the heartbeat of the property. Multiple pools, each with its own personality -- family-friendly areas with space to splash, quieter corners for lounging, and the high-energy spots where the music and cocktails flow. Service was dialed in across the board: fast, friendly, and always one step ahead. Rooms were spotless and stylish, with balconies that make you want to order room service just to soak in the view a little longer. Housekeeping kept everything crisp, and every request was met with that effortless "of course" attitude. Dining is another standout. From quick bites to full-on fine dining, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Even the grab-and-go spots felt elevated. And if nightlife is your thing, you don't need to leave the property -- the energy here after dark is pure Miami. But if you're traveling with kids or just want a low-key night, the resort still feels comfortable and accessible. Fontainebleau nails that rare balance of iconic luxury and all-ages fun. It's bold, glamorous, and buzzing in all the right ways, yet still manages to be welcoming and easy to enjoy no matter who you're traveling with. A true Miami classic that continues to deliver.

We were told it closes at "sundown," even though they clearly have outdoor lights for the whole outside facility. Want to swim in the evening or night? Nope. All those pictures with the pool lit up? Not for you. And if you dare to be in the pool at 6:01, there were six staff for every one guest to tell you to get out. Seriously, we got warnings to get out at 10min to 6, 5min to 6, and at 6:00. Why every five minutes? Because a group of staff members were hovering over us, watching and waiting for the moment to kick us out. Very relaxing. You have to wear an armband everywhere you go. Staff are at every door as you go in or out - hotel to pool or pool to beach - monitoring you to produce it. Very relaxing. There is no coffee in the room, forcing you to travel across the whole huge facility (3 towers connected by long walks) to their coffee shop to pay $10 for a cup of coffee each morning. You could walk all the way back to your room, or - like me - you can try to drink it by the pool. But NO! You can't sit by the pool. Those seats and lounges require you to pay a fee, even in February when there was NO ONE there. If you don't want to pay, you can find a free lounge on the outer fringes. And if you try to sit without paying, there are staff to tell you to move immediately. Hovering, as usual. To get a lounge on the beach - in February, low season - we had to get in line to sign up for a chair and then get in a second line of 20-30 people and wait in the hot sun for an available, assigned chair and a staff person to take us there. Grab a chair and relax? Nope. It's a monitored system. When we checked out, the staff told us there were too many rooms to provide a coffee maker in each one. I guess their policy is to assume their guests are stupid.
