It wouldn't be Miami without a little glitz and glam, and Mandarin Oriental, Miami on Brickell Key, just outside of downtown, delivers with extraordinary service to boot. The waterfront property is a favorite of celebrities (think Will Smith) and it's no surprise why.
Rooms and suites offer panoramic views of the water and Miami skyline; the lobby and public areas are flooded with natural light and offer plenty of space to move around; the luxurious spa goes beyond to pamper you; and the location offers easy access to all the city has to offer.
In addition, the service is spectacular, and the staff members perform their duties professionally while still being personable and helpful.
