I’ve been to the Mandarin Oriental Miami several times to dine at La Mar<\/a> before having the pleasure to stay at this stunning property. This last trip to Miami, I had the opportunity, and it exceeded my expectations. From its tucked away location at Brickell Key to its award-winning Spa, it makes for the perfect luxury getaway. About our stay:<\/p>\n

Location<\/h2>\n

Located at Brickell Key, the Mandarin Oriental Miami brings you the best of both worlds. The hotel is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but a hop, skip and a jump from South Beach, Miami Design District, and Wynwood which are 20-25 minutes away by car. Miami is a bustling city, and it was great to return to my retreat after the day was over.<\/p>\n

The Rooms<\/h2>\n

Our room was spacious with a great view of Biscayne Bay. The big comfortable bed with fluffy pillows was a treat after a long day. The design is classic with clean lines and warm neutral colors. As for the bathroom, I like the separate shower and bathtub accompanied by their fluffy signature robes.<\/p>\n

Pool & Beach<\/h2>\n

The thing about a property such as the Mandarin Oriental Miami is that the amenities are so lovely that it makes it hard to leave! There’s a pool, spa, and private beach area. In addition to the fitness facility, there’s a running trail that circles all of Brickell Key. While we were there, we saw plenty of locals running or walking their dogs in the early morning.<\/p>\n

I hung out by the pool area but it was a bit too crowded for me. I found the pool to be quite small for the scale of the property. If you’re looking just to sunbathe, I suggest you head to the private beach area. Order a smoothie at the bar, lay back and enjoy the views of the bay.<\/p>\n

The Spa<\/h2>\n

Even if you don’t stay at Mandarin Oriental Miami, make sure to check out the spa. With a stunning view of the bay, friendly staff, and beautifully decorated treatment rooms, it’s the place to unwind. I still think of the amazing massage I had during my stay. If you go during the month of July, you’re in luck! July is Miami Spa Month and you can get discounted treatments.<\/p>\n
