Expert reviews
“There are by now an awful lot of pretty great—even splendid—luxury hotels throughout Miami’s Brickell Avenue/financial/office district just south of downtown. But the one I still find among the most contemporary Miami in spirit is the cool wedge-shaped property a quick pop over the bridge on Brickell Key.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Miami.
“The Mandarin Oriental feels as exclusive as it does glamorous, with luxurious rooms, exalted restaurants, and the city’s top spa, all of which marry the brand’s signature Asian style with Miami’s bold tropical elegance.”
“It wouldn’t be Miami without a little glitz and glam, and Mandarin Oriental, Miami on Brickell Key, just outside of downtown, delivers with extraordinary service to boot. The waterfront property is a favorite of celebrities (think Will Smith) and it’s no surprise why.”
“A famed five-star resort with a world-class spa and high-end Peruvian restaurant, offering stunning views of Biscayne Bay. Its lobby bar and outdoor dining venue cater to a buzzing after-work crowd and, with both a stylish pool and man-made beach, soak up the sun here sans the South Beach scene.”

Relaxing revitalised stay
Location was amazing
The fact that it was closing forever in a few days
13 April 2025
Tired, overpriced, and closing soon.
The hotel is being torn down in a couple of months apparently and the facilities are in bad shape. As an example: the fitness center was closed for a sales center for the new building and is now basically 4 hotel rooms with random equipment. Some staff are great but you definitely get the sense that many of them have already checked out. Definitely not a premium, 5 star experience. Tons of better options in Miami.

One of the premier hotels in Miami. Amazing views of Brickell and is perfectly situated in the Brickell Key. Love the pool and all the ametities of the hotel.

It’s ok if you get a good price.
It’s ok tourist class hotel but no luxury. Beds fine and spacious rooms with big bathrooms and bathtub.
Not The same standard as Mandarin Oriental in other places like Bangkok.

Great value for a comfortable stay
Amazing location and views of Brickell and the Bay. Aside from the miscommunication in the beginning of the stay, the rest of the visit was great.
There was a mix-up and miscommunication by the front desk staff about our check in time, which resulted in a longer wait than expected. The front desk staff also miscommunicated about bringing up our luggage, and I had to go back to the lobby to sort out when it would be brought up to our room.

Overall is a great hotel to spend the holidays.
Location is great. We had an excellent welcoming by the staff. The front desk lady, who we guessed was from Ukraine or Russia based on her accent, was very professional and cared about us. She upgraded us to a Junior Suite. The room had a broad view of downtown Miami with partial water view as well.
Sink was clogged unfortunately. We ordered room service but did not receive waters as we requested.

great hotel, staff and room.
Friendly staff and great first impressions (and smell) as you would expect in a MO hotel. Room was great, fresh, clean comfy bed and lovely sheets, plus great shower and amenities, oh and fantastic view!
restaurant and breakfast was good but over priced.

Great Location. Looking forward to the New Mandarin in 5 years!
Location is great. Staff is very friendly. Still a nice vibe, even though they're planning to demolish the hotel next year.
The fitness facility is three empty hotel rooms with equipment. There is a large opening between the bedroom and the bathroom. There must've been something covering it at some point. . . The pool is inadequate for a hotel this size.

Idéal place for a break in Brickell
Really nice staff and great location, great restaurant
Very loud music in the lobby above healthy tolerable level and old equipment in the room. A bit overpriced in my opinion. Lot of noise from

A Room with a Great View for Relaxation and Romance
Front Desk Servicie and hotel location; restaurant & MO Bar. Also, I was pleased with a courtesy room upgrade because of my Anniversary celebration.
Had to wait a little for my requested yoga mat and my coffee ☕️ machine in the room

Love the Location and Staff, but this Hotel Needs a Refresher
Location was great! Skyline view suite was very spacious. Room service was excellent, served hot and with fantastic service.
Lumpy pillows, you have to pay for WiFi and the bottled water in the room is impossible to open. Bathroom was dated and the blinds that separate the bedroom from the bathroom seemed like an after thought.

Everything was wonderful.
16 January 2024
Its definitely the place to stay if you want a relaxing place while being able to explore Brickell.
room was comfortable. The view was nice as we had a balcony looking back at Brickell.
It was a bit pricy for what it is and there was a deposit fee for each night stay.

Not satisfied.
Location is nice.
Mandarin Oriental is too transactional of a place. Good value for the owners but not for the customers. Not even coffee tea machines in the room !!! At the lobby even the complementary coffee is the lousiest in quality. Put espresso machines and have coffee instead of mud water they offer. At the bar 2 espresso we had for 20 Dollars. What a rip off. Wi fi not free. That is a BS. WILL never stay there again.

The weakest mandarin oriental hotel i have stayed in.
The room was a very decent size, the bed was great and the blackout worked wonderful. The location is also very good, with great water views.
The hotel was a bit run down, the bathroom was poorly stockee with toiletries and the staff was not very atttentive. Also they charged $55 for overnight Valet and for Wifi if you were not part of their Friends of mandarin Club.
25 July 2023
A bit aging but still very nice
Location is good. All staff is nice, especially the guys in the pool area. Pool is small but very well kept and enjoyable. Rooms very clean, fixed twice a day very nicely. Great sized balcony. We enjoyed sitting out in the evening overlooking the Miami skyline. Overall I recommend and in fact will be back soon.
Beds are a bit small. I was hoping for sizes closer to queen to accommodate two adults more comfortably. Structure a bit aging.

Gorgeous hotel, lovely room, awful bed.
We had a bay view room and it was breathtaking.
The bed felt like you were sleeping on a plank.

The hotel must find a way to accommodate guests while also running their group biz.
The hotel was well appointed and the staff very attentive. The food was above average but not spectacular.
A convention group took over the hotel common areas. Outside team building event building bicycles complete with microphone booming inspirational music and team leader was placed within feet of the pool area. I was unable to enjoy the pool. The next night, 100 people descended on the lobby bar for an hour juicing themselves up prior to taking busses to their offsite dinner. They drank as if there were no tomorrow. The bar was completely overrun. I was unable to enjoy myself. The hotel should have required the use of a function room with a private barkeep.

Best location to stay in Miami as close to city but being on Brickell Key Island you feel removed from the hussle and bussel of downtown Miami . Loves the walking path around the hotel each morning . Rooms great size , beds very comfortable, gorgeous views. Great buffet breakfast and nice bar for evening drinks and snacks . Staff accommodating and generally friendly as usual some better than others .
The pool temperature was extremely warm ; not refreshing at all . Did not use as too hot felt like a warm bath . Pity as it was hot and would have been good to cool off . The hotel boasts a private beach but you can’t swim there as it drops to the Ocean , however it was a better spot to sunbake than around the very crowded pool area and there was a nice breeze which made it more tolerable than lying around a pool that was too hot to swim in .
2 March 2023
could have been fantastic. but sloppy service and cleanliness make this in need of a do-over
room view, location, breakfast, spacious (expensive) room, overall the staff was above average
lounge bar food was terrible, cold, and late. arrived at 5pm and room not ready. for 45 minutes. unacceptable. room not clean, hair on floor and in bathroom.
7 February 2023
Fabulous
The location is fantastic. It provides a bit of exclusivity being on Brickell Key but still incredibly close to downtown. The room is well equipped an spacious and tastefully designed, and I had a bay view which was fantastic. The food is terrific at La Mar and at the Pool Cafe.
The fitness center needs an upgrade for a five-star property. In addition, folks should know that if they are headed there in peak season, the pool area is somewhat tight compared to other five star hotels in the same area.

31 January 2023
Excellent hotel for getaway or special occasions! Great staff!
All staff I experienced were very helpful and kind; The overall quality of facilities were exceptional with a few minor issues; The location of hotel was great that we could walked down to the Brickel area;
The overall quality of the room we stayed was great with a few minor issues: - The bathroom sink was draining really slowly; - The wine refrigerator (?) made lots of noises so we had to turn it off; - The room we stayed wasn't much sound proof that we could hear sounds from the room next door;
