The hotel

Epic by name and epic by nature, the Kimpton Epic sits along the water’s edge, overlooking the glistening Biscayne Bay. Take a dip into one of the two rooftop pools, and sip on a cocktail in your private poolside cabana. Seeing as you’re set on the waterfront, seafood is a must, and you can dine looking out on the sea itself. In need of some me-time? Head to the spa for a treatment, or try your hand at a yoga class. And when the evenings roll in, head out and experience one of Miami’s cool bars, or retreat to your room for some down-time.

Rodalfo was always so helpful and welcoming when we came in and out of the hotel. Hotel was clean and along a nice river path for walking. Nice to have the fresh coffee in the lobby. Bathrooms and rooms are a good size. Pool looked nice although we didn’t spend anytime there.

Great hotel, great service, Eduardo the bellman was amazing and offered great service with whatever we needed in the lobby! Great experience overall. Views from the room were great and the pool was great, just closes at 6pm which i think is super early. But great hotel overall.
