Overlooking Biscayne Bay, The Grayson Miami is in the perfect location to explore the art museums, enjoy the bars of Downtown, and even pick up a cruise to extend your holiday! With sleek, chic rooms (of which more than half feature a balcony to enjoy those views whenever you wish), an on-site spa and a rooftop pool deck with bar - you'll have a hard time pulling yourself away from the hotel. But when you do you're right opposite Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science and the Perez Art Museum, and just a very short stroll from Bayside Marketplace for a bit of shopping and some alfresco dining as you watch the boats go by.

Bring your own booze so you can relax and enjoy yourself. Buying theirs at $22 per drink will not be relaxing for you.

The staff was overall very friendly and helpful. So I'd give them 4 stars. The facility has very poor workmanship. Almost like a DIY project. That feels like since it was built and how it has been maintained. So maybe a 2 or 3 stars there which is very generous given the price. The part we disliked the most was the $22 whiskey and coke.

The staff was overall very friendly and helpful. So I'd give them 4 stars. The facility has very poor workmanship. Almost like a DIY project. That feels like since it was built and how it has been maintained. So maybe a 2 or 3 stars there which is very generous given the price. The part we disliked the most was the $22 whiskey and coke. And not some fancy whiskey. It made it so we couldn't just hang out and enjoy a few drinks. Other people were actively going and getting their own alcohol. Their margins might be great but they are losing a ton of cash flow and ruining the experience for the guest by charging sooo much for a drink.

Look around first, very deceiving

Nice hotel with a great view. Close to the bay area. However some advice would be to check your bill. They will tax and fee you to death including a resort fee so the rooms cost a lot more than advertised. Secondly, don't charge anything to your room. I had to go through everything with them regarding all of the charges and it would have been easier to just use my card. The incidentals are a bit high and I am still waiting for reimbursement. The other issue was during my first night, I had very loud neighbors who seemed to have a lot of stereo equipment. I called the desk twice but nothing happened. I was up until 4 when they finally stopped. I asked to change rooms which they did so the second night went better, but this basically ruined my short vacation since I was going on no sleep for a whole day. I would check around for other hotels in the area first. I'm not sure what kind of place they are trying to create, it doesn't seem family friendly.

Disappointing, Dishonest and Not as Advertised

I would not recommend staying at The Grayson Hotel, especially if you’re booking through Airbnb. My experience was frustrating from the start and only got worse.
First, the room was not as described — it was noticeably smaller than the photos and faced an active construction site, which was loud and unsightly. Not the “city view” that was advertised.
Next, I was told the incidental hold would be $100, but was charged $150 per night with no warning. This felt intentionally misleading.
Then came the fraudulent minibar charge. I was billed for a bottle of tequila that was already half-empty when I checked in. I took a timestamped photo at 1:56 PM, minutes after arriving, and even submitted my Uber receipt showing my arrival time. Still, the general manager refused to remove the charge, first falsely claiming housekeeping had restocked it, then changing her story to say I took the bottle with me — despite me boarding a flight at 6 AM.
To top it off, I was charged an extra resort fee for three guests, even though there were only two people on the reservation.
This hotel demonstrated dishonest business practices, poor communication, and no accountability. I’ve reported the incident to Airbnb and will be pursuing further action if necessary. I highly recommend looking elsewhere if you want a fair, transparent, and respectful stay.

This hotel is a rare gem, I could start from right from walking into the lobby the customer service from every member of staff was wonderful! They offered all assistance they could and made every effort to make us feel at welcome! The room was breath taking and the views were fabulous! Let me tell you, that bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in and literally had to be fighting myself to get out of bed! The room was clean and very modern. My only concern for the room I would say the shower door doesn’t lock all the way and some water splashed out but there were provisions to keep the floor dry and slip free. The gym is fully equipped and Bella’s bar was actually opened. The stay was overall one of my best stays. The location is central and convenient! I would definitely go back

Pretty Good Overall
Jun 14, 2025Tracey R
The corner junior suite was very spacious, and the bed was comfortable, and the shower pressure was excellent. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very clean. There was quite a bit of someone else’s hair all over the floor and on every towel. My view was of the bridge construction, which of course has nothing to do with the hotel and actually I found it to…

The corner junior suite was very spacious, and the bed was comfortable, and the shower pressure was excellent. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very clean. There was quite a bit of someone else’s hair all over the floor and on every towel. My view was of the bridge construction, which of course has nothing to do with the hotel and actually I found it to be quite enjoyable to watch the cranes etc. while having my coffee. Having a balcony was really awesome. The breeze was fantastic at night. I don’t think that I will stay there next time only because the location wasn’t ideal for me personally. The restaurants near the hotel weren’t so great and quite expensive and most of the great shopping and restaurants are about a mile’s walk. (I think this area caters more to people going on the cruises) And normally I love walking, but this time I was there for work and I didn’t really have the time. So if you don’t mind having to take a long walk to get to the hot spots, then the location isn’t so bad. It’s right across from a very beautiful park actually. The staff downstairs were all very helpful and pleasant. The valet is a separate company, but they were also very nice and quick.
