“Best hotel beds I've ever slept in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

We booked 3 nights at the Sofitel thru Norwegian Cruise Lines to extend our cruise vacation. The hotel would normally be above our normal price range but it was a good deal so we splurged. The Hotel had all the normal high end luxuries - a lovely view of the bay, a nice pool and restaurant, but the beds were absolutely to die for! There was a soft feather bed to lay on and a wonderful duvet on top that somehow kept us at just the right temperature for a great night's sleep.
On the downside - there was no coffee pot or refrigerator in the room. But they did provide a shuttle to locations close by and to the airport. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a bay view.

“A great stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

Stayed here on a layover. The hotel shuttle was handy, once i figured out how to find them...I was greeted immediatley upon exiting the shuttle and check in was a breeze. My room was very clean, and well appointed. Beds were very comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel.

“Class hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

Relaxing hotel and friendly staff. Very comfortable and convenient location for airport, shopping and to experience Miami. The airport shuttle is a great bonus and if you hire a car, there is a large, safe car park.

“Hotel to relax in before or after a long flight.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

The pool area was not taken care of in the best way. E.g. The chair towels were not changed after use of a guest, only folded back on the chair.
The dinner was excellent as well as the dining room service. The "SoQuick" breakfirst was well designed.
The suite was nice and the bed very comfortable.
The airport shuttle function much better now compared to one year ago when it was difficult to know where at the airport the bus could be entered.

Thank you very much for making the Sofitel your choice of accommodation during your recent visit to Miami. The pool towels should have been changed after each use. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will immediately address the issue with our Director of Housekeeping in order to better coach our ambassadors.
Thank you also for your compliments on our SoQuick breakfast, very convenient for our guests on the go.
