Overview

Novotel Miami Brickell is one of those places that feels smarter than it looks at first glance. Outside, it’s clean-cut and corporate. Inside? Surprisingly stylish, with a relaxed edge that makes it ideal for holidaymakers, not just business types.
You’re right in the middle of Miami’s financial and residential hub, but it doesn’t feel stuffy. Shops, cocktail bars, the Metromover… it’s all just a short stroll away. And while there’s no beach out front, you can hop in an Uber and be on South Beach in under 20 minutes. It’s more of a base for exploring the city than staying put — and that’s part of the charm.

Poolside

The rooftop pool is small but spot-on. Think loungers with shade, cocktails at sunset, and that golden Miami glow bouncing off the buildings. You’re not here for water slides or splash zones — this one’s got grown-up energy.
There’s music playing, drinks flowing if you time it right, and enough space to unwind after a day exploring. Definitely one of those pools where you cool off, dry off, and chill out.

Food & Drink

There’s a restaurant downstairs serving up a solid breakfast and casual lunch options. It does the job — nothing fancy, but very convenient. You’re not locked into hotel dining here though. Brickell is buzzing with choice.
From rooftop sushi to Cuban sandwiches to moody speakeasy bars, you’re honestly better off heading out for dinner. And for quick morning fixes, there’s a small lobby café perfect for grabbing a strong coffee or a pastry on your way out.

Entertainment

This isn’t a resort with evening entertainment, and that’s okay. Because outside the doors? That’s where the buzz is. You’ve got Brickell’s nightlife within walking distance — rooftop lounges, craft cocktail joints, and Latin dance bars if you fancy.
Fancy something different? Little Havana is just a short ride away. The live music and street energy there is a proper vibe.

Sports & Activities

There’s a compact gym in the hotel with the basics covered. But really, this is a walking-friendly city base. You can stretch your legs exploring the neighbourhood or head down to the bayfront paths for early morning views.
No sand here — that’s the trade-off. But South Beach and Key Biscayne are both within reach if you’re craving waves. Definitely worth the trip for a beachy afternoon.
