HOTEL OVERVIEW

This posh, playful hotel combines urban energy with Zen luxury. Upon entering the soaring lobby of the Mandarin Oriental, guests feel as if they have discovered a new world, a Miami that did not exist until now. Orchids and bamboo abound, framing gorgeous views of Biscayne Bay and the colorful downtown skyline.

Featuring 327 luxurious rooms that include 31 sumptuous suites with spectacular views. Inside the luxurious rooms and suites you will find a serene, residential feel - and outside, spectacular views from the balcony or terrace.

Designed by internationally renowned interior designers Hirsch Bedner & Associates. Sophisticated travelers want for nothing. Frette linens cover the cloud-like beds. Molton Brown toiletries stock the bathrooms clad in Spanish marble. Bose Wave radios greet guests with soft jazz upon arrival. Touches like 10-foot ceilings and original artwork on the walls make the rooms feel more luxury residence than large hotel. Add to all this incredibly attentive service that prides itself on catering to guests' whims.

The 15,000 square-foot (1,394 square meters) Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Miami is an award-winning sanctuary. It features 17 private treatment rooms, including six stunning VIP suites, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bay.

And for the last word in luxury, the newly opened Mandarin Suite is the most extravagant yet - complete with its own private spa sanctuary.
