Most of us hear the word “Miami” and our minds automatically fill in the word “Beach.” But Miami’s Mandarin Oriental proves there’s more to this town than the South Beach scene.
The setting is unique, overlooking Biscayne Bay from Brickell Key, the tiny island just off the shore of downtown Miami, across the bridge from the banking and financial district of Brickell Avenue. The atmosphere is faultless modern luxury of the sort Mandarin Oriental does best. And best of all, at least for the sort of guest who would choose to stay here, you’re miles from Collins Avenue and the heaving crowds of Miami Beach.
Guest rooms are stunning, contemporary in style with a hint of the Far East mixed with the obligatory Art Deco. No luxury is spared: all rooms are spacious, with high speed internet, Bose wave radios and extravagant marble bathrooms with separate tub and shower. Most have balconies with spectacular views of the city’s waterfront, Biscayne Bay, or the Atlantic.
The rooms are restful enough, and the manicured private beach is orders of magnitude more sedate than South Beach’s more public atmosphere. For more intense relaxation, there’s the Mandarin’s world-class 15,000-square-foot spa, offering beauty treatments and Thai massage with views of the bay through floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as a fitness center offering yoga, pilates and T’ai Chi.
It’s not all peace and quiet, though — however exclusive the Mandarin may be, it’s anything but isolated. The Azul restaurant and the M Bar are local hotspots, and the hotel hosts a private party on the beach that tempts discerning locals away from South Beach for something a little bit different.

What I liked:
really, everything. Like a lot of readers, I travel a bit, and some places just get everything right. its easier for me to say 'just everything', or this would be 2 paragraphs of praise. ok- a couple things real quick- their private beach area is worth the stay alone. facing south, you get a full day of amazing sun, and the view is spectaular- the service, food, etc. brilliant. i found the food selections surprisingly affordable by the pool and beach for such a fancy hotel. 24 hour room service.
What the hotel could do better:
really nothing at all- the only thing that i didn't love, and this is just me- i'm sure i'm in the vast minority on this (my girlfriend liked it), is that part of their vibe is to have the scent of incense every where- lobby, shops, etc... its sort of their thing, and I don't like the smell of incense. no biggie, though.

What I liked:
They upgraded me to a fantastic suite even though it was not a table plus hotel. It was wonderful.
What the hotel could do better:
The concierge service was not the best. They misinformed me on the availability of transportation on two occasions, and generally were not overly helpful.

Attentive service, very accommodating
Nice pool/beach atmosphere
What the hotel could do better:
For an off south-beach property, $27/night for valet is a bit steep
