Mayfair House Hotel & Garden
Miami, Florida
Northeast Coconut Grove
Vibe
Towering palms and cascading greenery fill the open atrium, where Fountain Lounge turns a former fountain into a place to linger.
“Fountain garden revival”
A former fountain becomes lounge seating, while an old elevator houses the cocktail bar.
Staff arrange in-room facials, while spacious guestrooms extend onto private garden balconies.
Original 1985 archways and an ornate wooden entrance survive within the restored garden atrium.
In Coconut Grove’s village center, with CocoWalk shops, restaurants, and bars around the corner.
“The rooms are decked out in saturated colors, and combine clean contemporary lines with lively retro ornament; some include claw-foot tubs or vintage typewriters.”
Rooms
Handcrafted furniture and individually curated art give guestrooms their own character, while selected rooms add clawfoot tubs.
“Rooms also bring back classic Miami color, eschewing the modern trend of grays and whites for bright blues, oranges, and greens.”
Wellness
The rooftop pool pairs with a 24-hour gym, and overnight guests can join complimentary rooftop Vinyasa Wednesday through Sunday.
Eat & drink
Mayfair Grill serves cooking over open flames beside the courtyard, while rooftop Sipsip pairs rum cocktails with Caribbean bites.
The neighborhood
CocoWalk’s shops, restaurants and bars sit around the corner, placing you in the middle of Coconut Grove’s village life.

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.
