The Epic was a great. It has a great view if your room is on the south/water side. The rooms have a lot of room.
The 16 floor bar is crazy on Friday nights with happy hour. It’s worth a visit just to look around. The hotel has free wine in the lobby from 5pm – 6pm every night. It’s only one red and white to choose from. They change flavors monthly but wish it was daily. They also have coffee and teas in the morning in the same location as the wine. The hotel has a Vegas/Miami/W hotel feel.
My experience was positive at the hotel but wish they could correct the following problems.
Wish they had newspapers at the front desk. It seemed the only papers I saw in the mornings were the couple on the tables near the front desk and most times people are reading them. It would be nice to pick one up on the way out in the mornings.
The hot water at the coffee and tea services was always an orangey color. Was that coffee or iron in the water?
Wish the Front desk person was more informative during check in. She was new but also had someone with her supervising her performance. She forgot telling me about the amenities above and found out from my co-workers also at the hotel.
Wish the internet was truly free. They tell you have free internet in your room but it to their site only.
Lastly, I had a loud hum noise coming and going from my closet in my room. It was in the ceiling were there was a metal box.
That’s about it and possibly plan to come back there again next year.

Several great friends traveling into Miami for my milestone 30th birthday. From the moment we arrived down to the seconds we checked out , we had an EPIC stay. We rented a double bed room and were upgraded to a junior suite. And we also rented the corner one bedroom suite. Both rooms (next door to each other) were great. The junior suite is kind of small so if you plan to entertain, be sure to book a 1 bedroom suite. Within minutes a delivery of strawberries arrived to my room sent by family who couldnt join us. The presentation was great but they were not edible.... (they were defrosted frozen fruit) . Do not think your stay will be quiet. The night of my birthday they had six additional events happening so all of my guests were either stuck in line to valet park or I had to reroute them to the courtyard marriott or hyatt parking. This made my event from 8pm-10pm run from 9pm to 11pm. When I checked in with Aubrey (who is AMAZING) , she offered my group a glass of proseco at Area 51. It was so lovely. We had a special birthday toast with all my friends at the posh restaurant. It was certainly a night to remember. We ended up in the lounge on the first floor of epic afterwards. They were so kind to our guests and even gave us a comp bottle! The hotel then referred us to a nearby rooftop bar to remain nameless to finish the rest of our night. Very VIP of them to do this for our group. Overall our stay at Epic was EPIC! It is worth the price. Look out for deals or check to see if your employer has rates for you. ALso, if it's your birthday they will send you a coupon! Sadly I didn't know this and I paid full price :-( and noone mentioned it to me when i checked in or out during my actual birthday. That would be my recommendation for Kimpton to honor birthday deal if you choose to spend yours with them.

I stayed three nights for business, the hotel is really nice, it's a "fancy" hotel, whith pretty nice ambient and night life.

it's pet frindly, so you see people with its dogs, which is a bit rare but not a problem at all.

Rooms are new and with standard furniture, modern style.

I recommend it for business or young couples, looks like it's not the best place for families with little children

I had wonderful bridesmaids and wanted to treat them to a special night as a thank you for being so wonderful. The Epic was the perfect spot. We were served complimentary champagne upon our arrival, which started the night on the right path. The staff was very friendly. The rooms were lovely. We started our night with drinks at Area 31 before heading into town for a night out.
