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.

It always smells so amazing, and you're treated like royalty. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms and view are breathtaking, the food is delicious. You will never find a better hotel.

And I want to give a special shout out to Sophia Manreque who worked with me and made sure I got the exact hotel room I needed for the view that I wanted, she is the sweetest ever and I want to give her a special thanks. I LOVE KIMPTON EPIC IN MIAMI FLORIDA! YOU WILL NEVER FIND A HOTEL BETTER THAN KIMPTON EPIC! Read less
