Dramatic Miami International Airport hotel set on a blue lagoon

Executive travelers with an eye for design will feel at home at this European-style hotel. The 218-room property is set on a picturesque blue lagoon. The building captivates with bold details such as a grand tiled lobby with red leather club chairs and a wrought-iron banister and Art Deco lighting fixtures. Guest rooms deliver their own sense of style with abstract artwork, piped sofas and camel-colored upholstery. The outdoor pool is dramatic and has a waterfall cascading from a red canopy. 

Highlights
  • French-styled, Art Deco luxury hotel on a blue lagoon
  • Free shuttle to and from Miami International Airport
  • La Riviera restaurant and Le Bar on site
  • Indoor and outdoor space for up to 700 guests
  • Outdoor pool and fitness center
Rooms

Carpeted rooms tastefully incorporate familiar zebra prints. Beige upholstery and walls keep the focus on artful accessories, such as abstract paintings and framed black-and-white photos. Each room has either a king bed or two double beds, a view of the Miami skyline or blue lagoon, free bottled water upon arrival and feather bed and duvet. Guests can access Wi-Fi for an additional fee.

Features

Just five minutes from Miami International Airport, the hotel often hosts business travelers and visitors heading to nearby Coral Gables.

 

The hotel is a stylish alternative to more conventional environments for corporate events. Parlor rooms are decorated with a striking Bird of Paradise motif in green, orange, gold and blue and cater to smaller groups. A sizeable terrace moves the networking outside for parties of up to 700. Zebra prints lend whimsy to and lighten the formality of executive events.

Cancun, Mexico

It is the staff that gives a good name to this hotel!

Good welcome from the staff. I was expected. I had just landed from Rome and I had Euros, Cdn dollars and Mexican pesos, but no American money since I was just in transit, waiting for my plane to Mexico. I could not tip the bell boy in US currency, yet, he took my bags to my room, introduced himself (his name is Ricardo), he showed me all the amenities of the room knowing I did not have a penny for him (he did refuse all of my currencies). For breakfast the next morning, another wonderful experience. The food was fresh, hot, exquisitely presented and done perfectly. The croissants were hot and crisp, the scrambled eggs just so, the orange juice very fresh and the service friendly and impeccable. I will never hesitate to recommand this hotel to anybody. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have had besides my own at home (and since I had just landing from Italy, it was very appreciated because if the Italians are wonderful with the design and the taste of things, they could learn a thing or two about comfort!). All in all, an experience I wish had been longer. I will never hesitate now to book in a Sofitel hotel.

Expected Better

Overall it was a decent stay. The staff was very accommodating, very knowledgeable, and overall very friendly. The room was ok, I got a Junior Suite, and while it was clean, I did expect more from a 4 star hotel. The food was good. I had the best Salmon Pizza ever! Will be making that at home. But overall I was just expecting more from a 4 star European based hotel. Wasn't impressed.

Hotel Stay Before a Cruise

The hotel in and of itself was very nice - but there was an extra charge for EVERYTHING (or so it seemed). There was a charge for parking, a charge for the WiFi, the restaurant in the hotel was also over priced (~$20 for a breakfast buffet; $8 for a scoop of ice cream). There is a Starbucks in the lobby - but even that was MUCH higher than the one at home ($11 for a tall latte + fruit/yogurt/granola parfait). Hotels that are considered to be 'lower class' do not charge for parking or WiFi. There are other places to eat - about a mile away. Thankfully, we had a car and the parking allows in & out privileges. You need to exit the hotel to use the work-out facility - and we had to go through a private party on the patio to get to the work-out room. If you are here for only 1 night and without a car, it is an OK value - but they will 'get you' for the food. Lower rating due to all the items that required an extra fee.

Nice to be close to the airport

The hotel was lovely and the room was nice. It was a problem that I wasn't told that there was a parking charge until we checked out. I would have taken the rental car back sooner if I'd known. It also would have been nice is a place that billed itself as a luxury hotel had a heated pool and more than two towels in the bathroom
