This 50-floor hotel is in the heart of the Financial District, on Brickell Avenue. Although crowds may continue to flock to Miami South Beach, travellers are increasingly keen to explore what else this city has to offer, and the hip downtown district is one of them. Whilst avoiding some of the craziness, visitors will still find South Beach, the Design District, Coconut Grove, and Coral Gables very accessible and just a short drive away.
The tone is set for striking design at Viceroy Miami right from the drive entrance, where there stands a series of statue columns bearing the Moai faces of Easter Island. It continues stepping into the lobby, with its opulent use of marble, jade, onyx, brass chandeliers, and lavish curtains. The rooms’ modernist design brings with it true luxury, from the quality linens, iPod docking station, 42-inch TV with film library, and even the added convenience of a kitchenette. Viceroy Miami creates its own little world, of which the rooms and suites are only part of...
It may be in the city, but there is more of a resort feel. The top-floor Fifty Ultra Lounge provides jaw dropping views whilst you enjoy a drink. The sun deck and infinity pool was voted one of the “World’s Coolest Pools” and is an undeniable stand out feature, for the staggering size if nothing else, and the same could be said of the 80-person hot tub.
One of the most spectacular spas in the city provides a wide range of treatments. It is also home to a water lounge with hot and cold plunge pools, a quirky reflecting pool where guests can relax in submerged chairs, and a floating library. All of this is complemented by floor-to-ceiling windows that show off views over Biscayne Bay.
This hotel is most certainly not the shy retiring type. It is unashamedly grand, luxurious and plush with every inch a well thought out design concept.
