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.

Edwardo was great! He is a bellman at the hotel and very helpful. He held our luggage while we did some sightseeing. When we returned he loaded the luggage in the car and off we went to our next stop.

Great service, kind and helpful. The hotel was clearly very busy but it was quiet and did not feel hectic. All our requests for answered quickly. This is my third time staying here. I will be back. That is for sure. The parking is not an issue because they have 24 hour valet service

This hotel is disgusting. When you walk in, it feels like you walk into a commercial corporate office. The hotel staff opens your room door and barges in every day even with the privacy light turned on. The water costs 10 dollars a bottle, the hotel restaurant is more expensive than the rooms themselves and isn’t even good, so you are better off eating at Boulud Sud across the street which is cheaper and delicious! The rooms have totally cheap furniture and no lighting so are very dark and outdated. They have no body wash and the amenities are bad. The noises coming from the toilet and AC are their own band. The TV doesn’t connect to your device so it is useless since you can only watch cable TV. If you order food, they don’t send it up and won’t let anyone up to get it to you, so you have to go down and get it, and be prepared for a journey. There are over 400 rooms at this hotel, so you will stop about 10 times on your way down. The service here is non existent. The name itself gives it away - “epic”… this is a trashy word to describe a hotel… it’s also hilarious to name your hotel “epic”… what is this, 2008? Embarrassing for them. Do not stay here, there are better 2 or 3 star hotels. Read less

We love this hotel. This is our third time staying here and it never disappoints is always consistently customer service oriented with great rooms and great amenities. I have to mention the following staff as they were stellar. - Erdinc at pool he brought us our food, and was very attentive to drink request and more. Isaias at front desk was the first person who greeted us and wanted to make sure that all was good once we checked in sending a text to confirm. He is truly epitomizes customer service and a can do attitude which is very positive. Thank you. Nicole the evening person at the front desk was so sweet to take our pictures in front of the Christmas tree, greet us with a smile asking if there’s anything we need. The room is perfect and overlooks the causeway the pool was beautiful. The only problem is the sun is blocked by the other buildings we found sitting on our balcony, the best place to get sun in the morning. Finally, the valet were very attentive to getting the car, we could text them and it was ready and waiting for us. Overall A+ ratings for this property, the staff are exceptional and we even had breakfast brunch at Zuma. It was pricey, but fun. Read less
