Eden Roc Miami Beach

My husband and I stayed at Eden Roc for a mid-February getaway. It was the perfect choice! You can still feel the Old Hollywood glamour in the lobby (Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz were frequent guests of Eden Roc back in the day, and even filmed two episodes of "I Love Lucy" there.) We never grew tired of the ocean views from our junior suite — we could sit up in the insanely comfortable bed and see the ocean. Between the hotel and the beach were three shimmering pools, two hot tubs, gardens, and Ocean Social restaurant with a maître d' named Flavio (he is personality-plus!). A concierge named João pointed us to the "hidden" botanical gardens and a great Brazilian restaurant. There's a spa that overlooks the gardens, pool area and beach. (We didn't visit, but could see it from the pool area.) The beach was easy to enjoy, with Eden Roc crew there to set us up with lounge chairs and an umbrella throughout the day. But really our favorite beach time was the evenings, where we watched the moon come up over the ocean. The contrast of turquoise and indigo waters is apparently due to the reefs. Just mesmerizing. I can honestly say I've never had a better meal than I had at Nobu Restaurant, famed for its unique cuisine that blends traditional Japanese dishes with Peruvian ingredients. Every morsel was beyond delicious. Nobu is right there on site at Eden Roc. Finally, I need to mention the cruiser bikes available at the hotel. It was so fun pedaling down the beautiful brick-inlaid beach path all the way to the tip of South Beach ~ breeze in our hair, sun on our skin, and all our winter cares left faaarrrr behind us!

Excellent guest service - front desk in particular are world class in terms of helping guests get their comfortable room. Very comfortable room and service. I would highly recommend staying at this wonderful classic Miami Beach resort … worth it!!!

This hotel in Miami is just amazing, the room was huge and clean. The hotel has everything you need and the fridge was stocked up. The spa bath was fantastic and added the finishing touches to the room, which you need if you like walking 30 miles a day round Miami south beach. This is an honest review, we both had the most amazing time, the staff were all friendly and very helpful. The food at the bar near the under pool had everything you needed at a good price too. I would definitely stay again in a heat beat. This was my first time booking a holiday as my husband normally does it, he said it was grand hotel 5 stars 🌟 we both slept all night and the bed was king sized and so comfortable. We had the best time and we recommend anyone to book with Eden Roc.

This is a gorgeous, comfortable hotel right on the beach. The room was very clean and the vibe in the lobby and pool area was fun and upscale. Darius was an amazing host—friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and helpful. The restaurant Nobu is in the hotel and it was a fabulous dining experience. Highly recommended stay if you’re in Miami.

Typically people don’t review the valet service at a hotel or when they do it isn’t positive. I will say that when we first pulled up to check in at the hotel we were underwhelmed with the valet service. It was so slow and the attendants were so inattentive that I offered to park our car myself. However, that evening Jean-Eddie, the valet supervisor was there and the experience was vastly different. For the rest of our trip we looked for him and left our keys with him only. He was attentive, funny, professional and you can tell he cares about his work. When you’re trying to jump in your car quickly to make it to a dinner reservation or beat traffic those things make a big difference. Just wanted to shout him out as I’m sure many people don’t take the time to acknowledge service staff. 5 stars for Jean-Eddie!
