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.

Though we booked through Amex they did not allow late check out. Though there were three of us, only a small tube of body wash was provided! Read less

From check-in to check-out, everything was perfect. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The room was clean, the bed was super comfortable, and breakfast was fresh every morning. Loved the pool area and how close the hotel is to restaurants and attractions. Highly recommend staying here!
