Four Seasons Hotel Miami

This is a gorgeous example of what a modern hotel of Miami should look like. We have been to this hotel a few times to eat and chill out. Although we have not stayed at the hotel, I have a feeling the rooms are going to be just as nice as the dining options, lobbies, pool etc. Plus they have Equinox gym for staying guests. The artwork and statues present great abstract work and Asian Art all throughout the hotel with nice sofas and ample sitting area. In restaurants of course I would love to recommend Edge Steak restaurant with its amicable service and mouthwatering food.
My only suggestion is that the valet service needs to be better, they take way too long and they are not busy whenever we have gone to the hotel. Most of the valet attendants are busy talking to each other rather than retrieving cars.
Overall, this is a great hotel in Brickell Miami.

Everything’s great! 5 stars service, room, pool, food. Our room was upgraded and we were given late check out for free. Very baby friendly: nice crib and baby bedding, baby care products, welcome toy, pool toys, etc

Love this hotel… If you had to choose a hotel away from the beach, this is it! Had a conference here as well — the sales (Alex V.) and planning (Stacy R.) are absolutely amazing to work with. Can’t forget the banquet staff. Director and Captains are excellent!
Truly — if you want a seamless event, an amazingly comfortable and clean stay, go here.
Happy hour at the The Edge at amazing prices w/​delicious drinks. They also have green drinks and fruit drinks (all from scratch) made onsite. Always a good thing to have as an anytime healthy option.
There is an equinox onsite!!! A plus for guests staying at the hotel.
Really one of my favorite hotels.

Probably one of the fanciest hotels on Brickell Avenue Miami. Several Botero’s statues all around. Truly high class

This was my first experience with four seasons. My first impression was that it was huge and staff were very friendly. I upgraded my room to a suite and found the room extremely comfortable and beautiful. Pool was gorgeous and was open 24 hrs. I would definitely stay here again.

Choosing a hotel in Miami can be a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. Most the big names are there: Ritz, SLS, Soho, Mandarin Oriental, Fountainbleu etc. Then there are the many locations. To be or not to be on South Beach? That is the question.
I usually stay on South Beach, but find tang it can be intense and isolated from the other areas of Miami.
Brickell, while not resort like or ‘party-​like,’ is peaceful and in a great central location, which is how I wound up at the Four Seasons.
My brief stay at the Four Seasons Miami was very pleasant. Of note was the great service provided by the staff. Rooms are gorgeous, particularly the suites. I was delighted to see a very tasty welcome plate of chocolates and cookies.
Rooms are very comfortable and I slept very well while I was there. Good sleep at a hotel should not be underrated.
The views from the property of the bay are very impressive. There is a gym and salon in the building; there is a restaurant and several pools.
I found Brickell to be a great location as it was close to Coral Gables, South Beach and the airport.
I would absolutely stay here again.

Excellent Hotel! Great restaurant, bar, gym, pool, etc… Customer service is very high as always. Constanca was the best!!!

Amazing hotel! Staff were all great. Concierge gave great recommendations. The common areas are beautiful. The pool is lovely, and the gym (Equinox) is the nicest I have ever been to.
The bar/​restaurant, Edge, was fun, too.
The room was comfortable and nice.
I have stayed at a lot of high-​end hotels around the world, but I think the Four Seasons Miami might be the best!

I came for a wedding so did not stay in the rooms, so this review is only for their catering and venue. The service was excellent and the drinks were great. The food was OK, reasonable for a wedding but not something I would seek out otherwise. The reception space was large with a big dance floor.

First let me start by saying The Four Seasons is a brand that holds itself to higher standards than any other hotel or resort I have ever stayed in and I travel often. It’s 100% evident in the level of service you will receive while staying here. This is 5 stars, first class service across the board with no BS and no fluff… the way it should be! From the second my Wife and I chose to get married at the Four Seasons, Melinda Redling the Director of Catering made the experience enjoyable, seamless and she was simply a pleasure to work with. I was a groom that was very involved in the planning and I’m sure my numerous emails and calls to Melinda could have easily been annoying but instead she was always available, helpful and was always willing to talk Giants Football with me as a fellow fan! We had a rather large wedding with roughly 210 guests and The Four Seasons staff made the whole process simple and hassle free with an attention to detail that is second to none in the industry. We served Filet and Lobster Claw over Risotto with a side of butternut squash at our wedding and guests have still not stopped talking about the food! Service at the wedding was on time and served uniform (all plates dropped on the table at the same time) which was a detail I worried about personally but it was executed with perfection and all the food came out very hot. Our Captain for the evening was Encore and he was «The Man», lol. Anything and everything you could have possibly needed at any moment, Encore was there to take care of it for you! There were times I felt he was not around and all I had to do was take a look around for him and he seemed to pop up out of nowhere! It was incredible how he was not hovering around in a way where you would feel like you were being watched yet the second you needed him, he was right there. Great guy, very hospitable and extremely good at what he does. Thank you from Susie and I for such incredible service, we really do appreciate it more than you know. The day before and the day after the wedding we spent some time by the pool to unwind and entertain family that was in town as well. The pool areas is beautiful and is located on the fourth floor which gives you nice views of the bay and city off of the back area where the wading pool and hammocks are located. The bar area is nice to relax and grab a bite or you can of course order table side which we did often. If you are pool side and you’re lucky enough to have Alex or Sarah by the pool take care of you… you’re in luck! These two make a great team and really go above and beyond to make you happy. Alex knew it was our wedding weekend and catered to any need we had. The outside bar was not carrying Bacardi which is my drink of choice so he ran into the restaurant in the lobby to grab a bottle and bring it pool bar to make sure it was there and available any time I wanted a drink. His service and genuine care for his guests is so evident in his actions and how he takes care of you, the world needs more Alex’s! We had the pleasure of working with Sarah the day after the wedding by the pool and again, what a sweetheart, always smiling, always attentive, always coming around yet not pestering at the same time. We were a bit hungover and she made sure to take care of us by bringing over some frozen grapes and refreshing water when she could! Again, the level of detail, service and overall genuine care for the guest experience here is just how it should be done when you stay in a resort of this level in the hospitality industry.
Thank you Four Seasons for not only an unforgettable wedding but thank you to Melinda Redling, Encore our Captain, Alex and Sarah by the pool for treating us like family and a huge thank you to chef who outdid himself in the kitchen! You all made us memories that will last a lifetime and it is a weekend I will never forget! I’m glad we live locally because you have fans for life and we’ll be visiting soon!
Keep up the incredible work, Four Seasons should be proud to have employees like you all!!!

Excellent hotel but doesn’t stand out in the crowd. I’d go back if the price was right, but will explore options next time before booking.
Pros: Nice Brickell location that allows you to walk to several venues. Well appointed lobby, helpful front desk, clean with a high level of service. Pool was pretty large. Rooms were a good size, nice Bay view.
Cons: Valet guys were slow and barely helped with bags. Rooms while nice, are starting to get a little dated.
Of the three FS hotels I’ve stayed at, I’d rank this MUCH higher than San Francisco but lower than Maui. I’d also put it a half step below the Mandarin in Vegas.

Great hotel if you are looking for a place to stay for business. Not the greatest for young people. Service was probably the best I’ve ever had at a hotel however (especially Joanna from the dining room who brought us out an order all the way to the pool at night!), and the room was excellent (including welcome treats!). Pool was the perfect length for doing laps and the signature pool was neat to look at (not for swimming really, just wading). Location is right downtown so good for work I imagine, but crappy for finding something fun to do!

I love the Four Seasons hotels — everything from the rooms, service, food, pool, and restaurant/​bar is great. My only complaint is that FS are expensive, but luckily, this is probably one of the cheapest FS hotels in the world. It is definitely comparable in quality to the FS hotels in Asia.

EXCELLENT hotel!
We stayed here in 2006 for 4 nights. Our stay was perfect in every possible way, from the spacious room, big and luxurious bathroom, to the top notch service. One minor drawback is its location; almost 15 minutes no traffic to South Beach.
Did I mention the botero sculpture? Very contemporary!
Five Unilocal

After reading very good reviews, there is not much to add! Only, that latter on, after some people left, almost everyone was dancing and I had the privilege of knowing Maria, the lady in charge of the organization of the Event of AHA as well as Abbey, the member of Unilocal that is super duper nice, outgoing, cheerful and nice and invited us to such a nice, great and super amusing afternoon! I made more friends and I have so much fun and I dance, dance and dance, one of my passions!
And since I like to dance so much, there is only a little «but». It is my humble opinion, that a good DJ must have a god mix of music and the «Salsa, Merengue and Cha-​Cha-​Cha was missing not only because Latinos help this good cause like the American Heart Association but also because I herd people that weren’t Latinos complaining about the sane thing! They wanted to dance Salsa! I hope next year we have Salsa, Merengue, etc, etc, etc!
Después de haber leído tantos buenos puntos de vista, no hay mucho que añadir! Solo, que mas tarde, después que algunas personas se fueron, casi todo el mundo estaba bailando y tuve el privilegio de conocer a Maria, la organizadora del evento de la Asociación del Corazón como a Abbey, quien pertenece a Unilocal y quien es súper duper simpática, expresiva, divertida y nos invito a disfrutar de una noche súper divertida. Hice mas amigos y me divertí tanto además de bailar y bailar y bailar y bailar, una de mis pasiones!
Y como me gusta bailar tanto, tengo un pequeño «pero». Es mi humilde opinión, que un buen Disc jockey debe tener una buena mezcla de musica y la «Salsa, el Merengue y el Cha-​Cha-​Cha» faltaron y no tan solo porque Los Latinos collaborators con esta buena causa Dino porque tan been escuche a Otha’s personas que no son Latinas, wine jars de eso mis mo! queries bailar «Salsa». Espero que el año que viene, tengan, salsa, merengue, cha, cha, cha, etc, etc, etc…

Words don’t do justice, when better words have been spoken by such a musical luminaire as Cornell Iral Haynes, Jr. «Locked at the top of the Four Seasons, penthouse rooftop birds I’m feeding». Loosely translated, it means partying at a Four Seasons Hotel with very attractive women (and for a good cause!).
One of the nicer and better known high end hotel brands, I had the honor of attending a charity event –the Miami Pulse After Party — at the Brickell Four Seasons Hotel.
Though not for the hotel itself, this review is for the valet and event staff.
The lobby itself is beautiful with its soaring ceilings, subtle illumination and Botero sculptures at the lobby. Fast and quiet elevators took me to the event lobby which had been decorated with flowers and the event backdrop. Food offerings consisted of medium well, juicy sliders (which I indulged two) & tacos. Music was a mix of early aught classic party tracks and some more current beats. The service staff kept everything clean, and didn’t let finished silverware linger long. One of the smart touches was setting up coffee and tea outside with paper cups in case you needed a boost for the road. The valet staff brought my car out fairly quickly didn’t change my radio settings and had a complimentary bottle of water for me as well.

Perfect!
Great size rooms. Love the bar and the bartender Alex makes amazing drinks!!!

It was my first trip with my 11 month old so I was nervous but the hotel was sooooooo kid friendly. They had a small toy for her upon checkin and then a stuffed toy monkey in the crib they provided. It’s been 6 months and she still plays with them! We were there for a wedding and the convenience of bring in the same hotel was key (wedding was stunning too btw– hotel did an excellent job with food and décor!)
Had an issue with reservations at first but it was resolved after a couple if calls they were diligent in returning. Would definitely go back.

Of all the Four Seasons properties we have stayed at, this is by far the most disappointing. The staff is a bit sterile — not very warm — come across as a bit disinterested in the guest. We had to repeatedly ask concierge for menus/​dining options — it took them three times before they followed through. We made requests prior to check in and none of the requests were fulfilled upon arrival to our room. Pretty disappointed, to say the least. Next time we will book with the Ritz or Viceroy because this Four Seasons location was not worth the price.

This review is based solely on our experience at the pool and the service we received from Bahia pool-​side restaurant.
I purchased a voucher from TravelZoo a few months ago which included an all-​day access to the hotel pool, 2 appetizers and 2 specialty drinks for $ 49. Great deal because I love the Four Seasons!
We arrived around 1:30 pm and were told by concierge that the restaurant would take care of getting us setup at the pool. The bartender at Bahia then told us to walk over to the main gazebo and someone would take care of us there. A very nice attendant took care if us. He arranged some lounge chairs and towels for us and also brought us a bucket of water and ice (we requested it). He then said he would have a waiter come by to take our food orders. 35 minutes later my boyfriend walked over to the bar and placed our order since no waiter bothered to come take our order. He ordered wings and ceviche from the «snacks» menu, a Kids hamburger, an order of sweet potato fries, a Miami Vice, and a margarita. This order took another 40 – 45 minutes. Finally the waiter arrived with the wings and ceviche. No napkins. No silverware. Weird. Then another 10 minutes later my daughters burger arrived… with cheese. I told the waiter that we ordered it without cheese and he proceeds to tell me «are you sure that’s cheese?» Huh? If that’s not cheese Sir then there’s some weird stuff oozing over the patty! So I said yes, I was sure. He then proceeded to lift the bun to check if that was cheese as if I were lying about the cheese. Really??? I’m confused at this point because this is NOT the type of service the Four Seasons hotels offer. He seems annoyed and takes the burger back. Oh wait! You forgot the sweet potato fries! Poof he was gone. Then another waiter comes by with our weak drinks. The margarita tasted like lemonade and the Miami Vice tasted like a smoothie. Lame.
I’ve spent weekends at the four seasons in the past and I know this waiter’s behavior and the restaurant’s delay is unacceptable in their book. My boyfriend was not impressed by what was going on. This was his first time there and he couldn’t believe I had spoken so highly of the hotel.
Thankfully restaurant assistant manager, Josh Blyden, saved the day! He walked by and asked if everything was okay and my boyfriend shared our experience with him. He was horrified and apologized profusely. He immediately checked on my daughters burger which magically appeared along with our sweet potato fries. Mr. Blyden came by several times and even offered us a complimentary dessert… we picked the s’mores ice cream (delicious!) In fact, he seemed like he was helping a lot of people. I thought maybe they were understaffed but I saw a ton of pool attendants standing around not doing anything. I saw him dragging around umbrellas, taking and bringing orders and drinks. He was a one-​man show!
Overall we enjoyed our lazy poolside Sunday once Mr. Blyden took control of the situation.
