Character and identity
EAST Miami occupies the upper floors of Brickell City Centre, a billion-dollar mixed-use development in downtown Miami, and the 352-room hotel is unapologetically urban rather than coastal. Designed by Hong Kong's Swire Hotels, the lobby is vast, sleek and quietly Asian-inflected, with floor-to-ceiling glass running through every guest room to frame city, bay and (from the right corner) Everglades views. Quinto handles the cooking with wood-fired meats and vegetables; Sugar, the 40th-floor rooftop garden bar, leans tropical and theatrical. A four-pool deck (lap, spa, cold plunge, hot tub) anchors the leisure side.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-minded urban travellers who want to plug into Brickell's restaurants, shopping and downtown energy rather than chase sand. Couples and longer-stay guests do particularly well here, especially in a Residence-category suite with kitchen, washer-dryer and walk-in closet. Solo business travellers and rooftop-bar enthusiasts will also feel at home.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone whose Miami fantasy involves walking from room to ocean. The beach is a taxi or Uber ride away, full stop. Families wanting a sand-and-kids'-club setup, or traditionalists drawn to South Beach's grand dames, will be happier on the other side of the causeway.
Bottom line
The decision here is essentially geographic: this is downtown Miami in a tower, not a beach hotel, and the views, the cooking at Quinto and the Sugar rooftop are the payoff for skipping the sand. Book a Corner King for the wraparound balcony, or a Jr. Residence Suite if you're staying a week or more and want the apartment feel.
