Located at 398 NE 5th St in the Arts & Entertainment District, this 4.5-star rated hotel offers couples a self-contained wedding experience where guests arrive, celebrate, and rest without leaving the property.
The venue's modern architectural aesthetic and 270-degree water views provide a sophisticated Miami backdrop without relying on tropical clichés.
The location couldn’t have been better for sightseeing and exploring Miami. Bayside is right across the street, and everything we wanted to visit was just a short walk away. The hotel itself is fantastic. Our room was huge, beautifully designed, and offered an incredible view overlooking the port and Brickell. Having a full kitchen was a great bonus. The fitness center was excellent, and the rooftop pool was a highlight, complete with a small restaurant right beside it. During our check in Fabian was very welcoming and big help. I would like to thank the staff for the environment.
