Kimpton EPIC Hotel

Brickell, Miami

Virgin 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.

I went to the pool party and let me tell you Adrian from the valet was amazing. Very helpful and he made sure to give me all the information I needed to know to have a splendid valet experience. I have never seen a valet worker better than Adrian truly fell in love with him

I would like to give a special shout-out to Bryan Diaz (supervisor from valet) he was very very professional with everything. He made sure we felt like if we were at home. Very organized and educated for a young man. I hope this reaches him and if it does keep going young man you’re definitely going places. Read less

DO NOT stay at the Kimpton Epic hotel especially in March. They throw a VERY loud obnoxious party from 12-11pm from Friday to Sunday during the Ultra Music Festival—it’s disgusting, pounding music all day long—you won’t be able to be in your room.

We stayed here for two nights prior to a Caribbean cruise. Facilities are very clean and well maintained. Staff is helpful and polite.
