The Four Seasons I have visited made a real impact with their art work and with 3 large Botero statues, this is no exception.
They brightened up a very modern featureless building.
My room was what one would expect at this level but with no real effort to go the extra mile. No water on arrival is just mean. The maid service was however very good.
The pool area is very nice and the health club excellent.
The Edge restaurant was freezer cold at night. The food was 8/10; a med rare burger being one of the very best I have tasted. Cocktails were good and the bar area retains some atmosphere at night.
On the downside no two cappuccinos were the same and all were disappointing.
I know it's a killer but have to say the W looked a better bet; lovely bar and poolside area.

.The four seasons hotel in down town Miami is as good as it gets, perfect location, wonderful staff, and comfortable rooms.  It is not as luxurious as other four seasons facitilities in other location that I visited (Bangkok or singapore) but it is as good as it gets for a 4.5 stars US hotel.  I will definitely go back again.

The service was outstanding as were the facilities, particularly the gym, spa,and pool area. Very pricey! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and felt pampered the entire stay. The prices in the restaurant were extremely high but within walking distance there were many restaurants. The service in the pool area was especially nice and the personnel very attentive.

Myself and my husband stayed from the 29-1st of January 2013. The room was everything I've come to expect from the Four Seasons. Spacious, well layed out with everything you could possibly need. Housekeeping was excellent. The downtown location could be a problem for some as it's 30 dollars each way in a taxi to south beach. This quickly ads up if, like us you go shopping during the day, back to the hotel to change and then to a restaurant again later in the evening. 120 dollars a day! For us, it was worth it as the Four Seasons was away from the crowds and it was nice to come back after a busy day and relax. There's also plenty of nice restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. We also discovered Brickell Village with a few nice little shops. Again- walking distance.

Everyone, from check in to valet was friendly and helpful. The let down was the concierge. We were staying over new years eve and we had Edge (restaurant on site) booked for our meal. However there was an issue where they couldn't find our booking. We asked the concierge (forgot his name) for recommendations and help in finding something. He gave us a few lacklustre suggestions. None of which I would have recommended to guests as being remotely nice, let alone suitable for New Years Eve. I guess you can argue I'm fussy and everyone has different tastes. We did our own research (we wanted to go to Pied a Terre) and asked if he would call to enquire about availability. He said he would but a day later and we heard nothing! My husband had to make very expensive calls from his UK mobile. On the 31st, we went back to the concierge (same guy) and asked if he could call a different restaurant for us as Pied a Terre was fully booked. He agreed and an hour or so later he called us in the room to say he coukdn't speak to the restaurant manager who oversee bookings and he will call us back in 30min. As this was NYE, we waited in the room for 45min for him to call back- he never did. No voicemail- nothing. We managed to get a table in Edge in the end but no thanks to the Concierge. (Edge by the way, is lovely! As is the hostess and the assistant manager who went out of their way for us) I feel VERY let down as my previous experience with the Four Seasons group and the concierge has always been excellent. One other thing- the Hotel has not got a bar where you can have pre-dinner drinks. It's either outside by the pool(not good in the wind) or in Edge which is the Restaurant. I would recommend the hotel but avoid the concierge as it's pointless.
