I travel a lot for business, often spending long periods in Miami, and EAST Miami has become my second home away from home. Let me tell you why I love this property and why it might be the best choice for you if you are looking to stay in the heart of Brickell. Whether it is for a long stay, an exciting leisure weekend, or just a few days to unwind before taking a cruise to the Caribbean, EAST Miami offers something truly special.

In the heart of Miami Brickell: East Miami is A Prime Location


EAST Miami is located right in the bustling Brickell City Centre. This means I am always just steps away from some of Miami’s finest dining, shopping, and entertainment options. From rooftop cocktails to luxury retail therapy, this neighborhood perfectly embodies the vibrant, cosmopolitan energy that makes Miami so unique. It is also well connected by the Metromover, making it easy for me to reach the Brightline station in Miami. This is perfect for my business appointments in Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and even Orlando.

Innovative Design Meets Comfort


When I walk into EAST Miami, I am immediately struck by the stunning contemporary design that somehow feels both sleek and welcoming. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the rooms offer breathtaking views of the city skyline or Biscayne Bay, something I never tire of waking up to.

The Wi-Fi connection in the rooms works great, which is essential for me when working remotely. For longer stays, the residence option is perfect, offering well-furnished and equipped spacious apartments. These residences provide the perfect balance of productivity and relaxation, all while being comforted by the vibrant life of Miami Brickell.

Exquisite Dining Experience and Fun


One of my favorite things about EAST Miami is the dining options. Quinto, the hotel’s signature restaurant, serves incredible wood-fired cuisine with a touch of Uruguayan inspiration. It quickly became my favorite restaurant for when I did not feel like cooking, and their impressive Sunday brunch is an absolute delight.

Then there’s Sugar, the spectacular rooftop bar and lounge on the 40th floor. It is my go-to spot for unwinding after a long day. With its lush, Asian-inspired ambiance, handcrafted cocktails, and panoramic views of Miami, it feels like an escape within the city. Sugar is perfect for a winding-down drink, a fun weekend night, or even entertaining my clients. If you feel like dancing, try to get into the exclusive Tea Room, a hidden little club with incredible views of Miami’s skyline where I have had some fantastic, fun nights.

You will also find some amazing restaurants and fun places within walking distance. For example, Komodo and Gekko are just across the street, and Truluck's is perfect if you want a classic and classy seafood restaurant with impeccable service.


A Space for Every Occasion


Over the years, I have seen how versatile EAST Miami can be. The state-of-the-art conference spaces and meeting rooms are perfect for hosting corporate events, while the stunning outdoor spaces make a picture-perfect backdrop for weddings and private celebrations. Whether for business or leisure, the hotel caters to every occasion seamlessly.


Fitness and Wellness


Staying fit while traveling is important to me, and EAST Miami makes it easy. Their fully equipped fitness center and sprawling pool deck are some of the best I have seen in any hotel. The lap pool, spa pool, and even the cold plunge offer the perfect way to relax or energize, depending on my mood. It truly feels like an oasis in the middle of the city.

Why EAST Miami Feels Like Home


EAST Miami is not one of those mega hotel chains; it is what I consider the perfect modern luxury concept. The service has been for me always excellent but in a modern and minimalist hotel , and I truly feel like I am coming back to a family every time I return. EAST Miami is a sort of urban boutique hotel with great amenities and with a spectacular position.
