Kimpton EPIC Hotel

Brickell, Miami

Virgin rating

The hotel

Epic by name and epic by nature, the Kimpton Epic sits along the water’s edge, overlooking the glistening Biscayne Bay. Take a dip into one of the two rooftop pools, and sip on a cocktail in your private poolside cabana. Seeing as you’re set on the waterfront, seafood is a must, and you can dine looking out on the sea itself. In need of some me-time? Head to the spa for a treatment, or try your hand at a yoga class. And when the evenings roll in, head out and experience one of Miami’s cool bars, or retreat to your room for some down-time.

Checked in for one night stay with family prior to flight from Miami. Hotel location great, views lovely. On check in the receptionist yawned at us during check in, then continued to do so throughout the process, we actually commented to him twice are we boring, have you had early start? Not a good first impression of what is supposed to be a 5* hotel. Rooms tired, cleanliness average. One pillow per person, no extras provided. Bath not draining due to hair in drain. On checkout tried to charge extra resort fees which were all included in our booking price. They were deducted eventually but only after some long conversations and management been spoken to.

Amazing hotel in downtown Miami. Close to really great restaurants and a short walk to bayside. There is a whole foods nearby too that has everything you could need. Love the 5pm happy hour and the complimentary tea and coffee in the morning! The hotel’s highlight are its amazing and helpful team. Erdinc by the pool was really friendly and super attentive. He was always looking out for everyone so you didn’t have to wait at all if you wanted something. Thank you so much for making our stay great! Also, Thomas at the main reception was always happy to help us and was always smiling and is a really great part of your team! We would recommend this hotel and we will be back again Read less

I like the hotel but Hernando Soto was the highlight. He made our experience so worthwhile we have to come back. He is the heart of the hotel. We went to 5pm wine hour and his charming personality created such a warm atmosphere that our night started off with a bang. Thank you for an amazing experience!

We had an absolutely lovely day at the pool yesterday the service was lovely. The food was fabulous, and the servers went out of Their Way,. Armando in particular made an extra effort to make sure my mother-in-law was comfortable while she was seated at the pool. We were post cruise and had an absolutely lovely stay. I’d recommended 100%.

I love this hotel! This was our second stay here and it won't be our last! The staff is amazing, the pool is amazing, the rooms and common areas are fantastic. The views are so nice and we loved how close it is to everything. The food at the restaurant was great also!
