EAST Miami
Miami, Florida
Brickell
Vibe
A double-height stone lobby sets the scale, while intricate woodwork and photographs of Miami’s Modernist architecture give the public spaces texture.
“Sugar garden perch”
A double-height stone lobby leads to slate interiors and periwinkle velvet residential suites.
EASTudio offers personal training, complemented by an outdoor lap pool and cold plunge.
Sugar gathers an evening crowd around a carved Balinese bar, forty floors above Miami.
At Brickell City Centre, surrounded by Brickell’s restaurants, rooftop bars, and shopping streets.
“The 352 guest rooms exude calm, thanks to natural woods, abstract ocean art, and mesmerizing skyline views framed by floor-to-ceiling windows.”
Rooms
Charcoal-gray wood floors and furnished balconies come standard, while residential suites add periwinkle crushed velvet sectionals and fully equipped kitchens.
Wellness
The fifth-floor outdoor deck gathers a lap pool, spa pool, cold plunge and hot tub, while BEAST gym stays open around the clock.
Backstory
Hong Kong’s Swire Hotels made its US debut here in 2016, bringing EAST to Brickell after openings in Hong Kong and Beijing.
Eat & drink
Quinto cooks South American fare over an open-fire parrilla, while Sugar pairs Asian share plates and cocktails with a rooftop garden setting.

An elevator connects you to Brickell City Centre’s three-story mall, with restaurants nearby and Eighth Street Metromover about a minute away on foot.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
