The hotel

The legendary Fontainebleau Miami Beach first opened its doors to the public in 1954, when the A-list celebs of the time — Elvis, Sinatra and the Rat Pack — liked to stay here. And it's still famous for being one of the hottest Miami hotels today, with a striking design and legendary nightlife that includes live performances from the hottest artists. By day you can enjoy 22 oceanfront acres of a blend of Miami's golden era and stylish modern luxury. Take a dip in one of the 11 pools, or head to the spa and pamper yourself. All of this is topped off with nine different dining options, from sushi to pizzas - enter a world of endless opportunities.

We recently stayed here to celebrate our honeymoon after staying in another 3* hotel for the start of the week and then another 3* in key west.. we ended the trip back in Miami for our flight home and thought we would treat ourselves to 5* The service we received in the first two hotels was a lot better than here! First we arrived and went to check in at the main desk the woman told us we had to go round the corner to the VIP desk (unsure why) so after trying to find this with all of our luggage after a long drive we enter and the man couldn’t understand why we had been sent round there but kindly he checked us in (& was the most friendly member of staff we encountered during our stay) … we are sent to our room so struggled on with our luggage, no one offered to help. Come in and there’s cigarette burns on the carpet and everywhere looks quite run down not really what you would expect from 5* … the spa bath was a nice feature so we ran it after a long day however couldn’t get it to empty (another issue) anyway we decide just to go for dinner and try to make the most of it… thought we would go for a drink in the bar first and must have waited 20mins plus to be served, none of the staff seemed friendly or interested. The food was nice but very expensive - we would not return here, we had a few hours on the beach but they charge for certain beds and umbrellas (but only on certain rows of the beach - very odd) if you want luxury I would go elsewhere! Also we have had charges come out of our account after returning and aren’t sure what these are for as we have paid the room tax etc and didn’t have anything from the mini bar - we are disputing these may be an honest mistake but just thought I would mention Read less

We stayed here to swim the beautiful pools again. Jonny was absolutely the best. His attentive service enhanced our pool experience. Very welcoming, kind, and helpful. He found us places poolside immediately, and then took photos for us. He made sure we made great memories. Thank you Jonny!
