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.

What a lovely hotel experience! From the moment you pull up, it’s nothing but graceful hospitality. Adolfo and Jean Baptise are there at the waiting to help you with your bags and car. Both with easy smiles and a desire to be helpful! Archy, your warm smile and the way you wear that hat! Nothing but elegance. So nice to be greeted by you each time we came and went. The restaurant staff at Area 31, the bartenders at the rooftop pool- were all so friendly and accommodating. I wish I had taken down the name of the bartenders who quickly concocted a delicious “energy drink” for me. Truly, this is a beautiful hotel, but it is the staff that makes it stellar. The lovely team at the front desk too. Can’t say enough about how well we were treated. And the room was always clean and organized at the end of the hot Miami day. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable and comfortable. Kimpton— the staff here are standard setters for all hotels! Read less

I booked this hotel based on the reviews I read. Our room was booked and paid for prior to our arrival as an anniversary gift from a friend. Having to go through credit card validation and etc to book without the credit card being present. When we arrived, which was around 9:30pm the representative seemed a little frazzled and wasn’t very knowledgeable. We had to end up repaying for the room after showing documentation and messages between our friend and an online representative from IHG confirming that the room was prepaid for. After finally getting checked in and going to our room the tv didn’t work. So we had to wait for maintenance to come and repair the tv. Finally ready to retire for the night and the beds are extremely hard. The location is great and view was good, but not worth the cost. The agents at the front desk didn’t seem to care nor really look into the information that we provided. Providing top level Customer Service should be important and provided at all times and it wasn’t: Read less

This is our go to place to stay when we come up from the keys! Always very clean and the staff is wonderful! The location is great with many options for food and drinks. The food truck park is a favorite. Shut out to Rodolfo! He was so great when he retrieved our car for us. Very friendly and accommodating! Until next time…

This was a truly incredible hotel experience. The hospitality was above and beyond. We went with two kids, five and eight. We had a birthday and they made it so special. The kids were greeted with little gift bags and they even sent up a special desert to the room to help celebrate. There was always someone holding a door for us and asking us how they could help. The food at the pool restaurant was very good. The bartender made celebratory juice drinks for the kids on Friday with floating fruit. Area 31 brought a sparkler candle to the dinner table and celebratory champagne as well. Nicole was at the front desk and she was wonderful. The hotel room was great. If had a large balcony and a great view of the city and river. Thank you! Read less
