Kimpton EPIC Hotel

Downtown Miami, Miami

Star 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.

Love coming to the Epic for a lot of reasons - but the valet is always so welcoming and helpful, especially Adolfo. Always nice to have a friendly face to greet you and appreciate him always taking good care of my car.
