Four Seasons Hotel Miami
Miami, Florida
Brickell
Vibe
Marble public spaces double as galleries, with a massive Botero sculpture greeting you at check-in amid Brickell’s office towers.
“Hammock garden sanctuary”
Concierges coordinate fitness classes and family excursions; dedicated cabana staff bring poolside refreshments.
Complimentary Equinox access brings five fitness studios, eucalyptus steam rooms and lymphatic drainage treatments.
Tropical modernism shapes redesigned rooms through custom limed-oak bars and sculptural furniture.
On Brickell Avenue near Financial District Metromover, a short walk from Mary Brickell Village.
“Two pools make lounging the day away a tempting option. Relax all day in one of the luxury cabanas by the main pool...”
Rooms
Timber floors, patterned rugs and custom limed-oak bars bring tropical modernism indoors, while sculptural furniture adds a playful turn.
Wellness
On the seventh-floor, two-acre pool terrace, Palm Grove’s hammocks hang over a wading pool, close enough to dip your toes.
Backstory
Keeping parking and utilities above the flood plain helped lift the garden and pools onto a seven-storey podium.
Eat & drink
NUNA pairs Japanese techniques with Peruvian dishes, while Séptimo serves Oyster Martinis with live music and DJ sets Wednesday through Saturday.
The neighborhood
Mary Brickell Village is about eight minutes away on foot, while nearby Brickell Bay Drive gives walks a waterfront setting.

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.
