Dramatic Miami International Airport hotel set on a blue lagoon

Executive travelers with an eye for design will feel at home at this European-style hotel. The 218-room property is set on a picturesque blue lagoon. The building captivates with bold details such as a grand tiled lobby with red leather club chairs and a wrought-iron banister and Art Deco lighting fixtures. Guest rooms deliver their own sense of style with abstract artwork, piped sofas and camel-colored upholstery. The outdoor pool is dramatic and has a waterfall cascading from a red canopy. 

Highlights
  • French-styled, Art Deco luxury hotel on a blue lagoon
  • Free shuttle to and from Miami International Airport
  • La Riviera restaurant and Le Bar on site
  • Indoor and outdoor space for up to 700 guests
  • Outdoor pool and fitness center
Rooms

Carpeted rooms tastefully incorporate familiar zebra prints. Beige upholstery and walls keep the focus on artful accessories, such as abstract paintings and framed black-and-white photos. Each room has either a king bed or two double beds, a view of the Miami skyline or blue lagoon, free bottled water upon arrival and feather bed and duvet. Guests can access Wi-Fi for an additional fee.

Features

Just five minutes from Miami International Airport, the hotel often hosts business travelers and visitors heading to nearby Coral Gables.

 

The hotel is a stylish alternative to more conventional environments for corporate events. Parlor rooms are decorated with a striking Bird of Paradise motif in green, orange, gold and blue and cater to smaller groups. A sizeable terrace moves the networking outside for parties of up to 700. Zebra prints lend whimsy to and lighten the formality of executive events.

Excellent Hotel & Manager

The Sofitel Miami was excellent, one of the best hotels in the Miami area. I was close enough to the beach yet far enough from traffic and congestion. The room that we stayed in was great! The Hotel Manager was the greatest, he is the best in the business. We were catered to constantly and the staff made me feel very comfortable. Just as their ad states, I felt at home for my entire visit. The beds were also very comfortable and I look forward to my next visit.

Terrific Experience

We arrived late to the Hotel. The staff was terrific. When we went to have a late bite to eat the dining room had just closed. The staff could tell we had had a long day of travel and were hungry. They showed us to the bar and provided us with a full menu to select our food. Each and every person we came in contact with could not have been better. I highly recommend the Sofitel Miami to any and all. You will not be disappointed.

My review of Sofitel Miami

The hotel was very clean and the staff was very nice. We are however very dissapointed with the tour we booked (no fault of the hotel and I did let them know this) we arranged to do a city tour and we were informed this would be a stretch limo and would take us on a tour of Miami for $65.00 per person and this would be 3 hours in length. We were picked up in a multi person van and we were taken to a bus to do the city tour!!! The bus driver however was very nice and very knowledgeable of the city. we were so disappointed as this is not what we were told we would get. At the end of the tour we were given an hour at Bayside Mall we went into eat and ended up having the meal packed to go!! The only real complaint I have about the hotel is the pool was very cold.

Very, Very Satisfied Customer!

If you're traveling with your sweetie, husband or partner, this is the place to be! This was me and my husband first time at the Sofitel, Miami. We LOVED it. They treated us like the five star hotel they are. They were excellent. I will never sleep at another hotel again. I didn't want to leave...I'm impressed. And it's not easy to impress me. Keep up the great job!!!! Kudos. I bragged to everyone at work.

Excellent bedding

Staff was nice and accommodating( arrived early and were able to check in before noon)Rooms were clean with nice views, bedding was very comfortable. Bathroom amenities were of nice quality, Pool area clean and comfortable. Best for travelers with car or for business travelers, not much to do or many places to eat within walking distance. Shuttle to airport was available @ 4:30 AM on a Sunday morning( that was nice) Great for one nite stay post cruise, very close to airport for early flight home
