“My Stay At the Epic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

The Hotel check in process was quick and efficient the location of the public rooms was very accessable I loved the morning coffee in the lobby but if you preferred you could call for a coffee pot to be sent in to the room. Afternoon cocktails in the lobby was also fun. The room was very comfortable and the Housekeeping was the best. I traveled for business but look forward to visiting the Epic as a tourist thge next time.

Room Tip: Water front is the best

“I love this hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

I stay in hotels on business pretty much from Sunday through Thursday and I have got to say that the Epic Hotel in Miami is my favorite. The hotel staff always are warm and friendly and, simply, the best! Somehow they always make me feel as though I am an old friend just coming to visit, even when I haven't been back in months. My favorite thing about the Epic is the guestroom bathrooms. They are beautiful, clean and huge. I stay in a lot of 4-5 star hotels and I must confess the Epic bathrooms are the best! I love that one can take a luxurious bath and watch the flat screen TV through the open window into the main guestroom at the same time. I also LOVE the restaurant "Area 31". What can I say -- it is outstanding. The Chef is fantastic and the service is what one would expect from any Kimpton Hotel -- excellent. The pool deck is incredible with 3 pools and a gorgeous view of the ocean channels. And I am very impressed with the fitness center and the fact that I can take their yoga classes while I am staying at the hotel (for a small charge). All in all, I can't say enough about this hotel. The Epic Hotel is one of Miami's best kept secrets! Shhhh.

Room Tip: Definitely opt for an ocean view room.

“The Epic Has Style”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

We were very pleased with everything about EPIC Hotel in Miami. Our room on the 26th floor has a balcony with a table for two. Inside, the bathroom featured both a walk-in tiled shower and a separate marble tub, which opened up to the bedroom, or could be closed off with a drop-down shade. The restaurant, Area 31, served great food on the 16th floor, and you could dine inside or out. The lobby restaurant, Zuma, is one of the hotest spots in Miami. Very trendy Japanese dining and ranked #4 of 918 restaurants on Trip Advisor. We loved the location, which was a short walk across the bridge from Truluck's, a wonderful place to eat (#6 in Miami), which is a downtown alternative to Joe's Stone Crab, if you're looking for fresh fish. Overall, EPIC is a great hotel in keeping with the Kimpton tradition.

“Great stay, posh hotel, couldn't be better”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

Save your pennies and stay on the concierges level. Zuma's food was worth every penny, try the tasting menu.

In general this is a posh Miami hotel where you are truly pampered. The roof top pool and restaurant was accentuated by a unbelievable pool side staff which caters to your every whim but doesn't crowd you. The spa was a disappointment though, although the therapists are well above average the facilities were not, you need to work on this folks.
Overall if your looking for a phenomenal hotel within a 10 min drive of south beach here it is
