Contemporary Asian-inspired
Situated on exclusive Brickell Island, the Mandarin Oriental is right on Biscayne Bay with beaches, a promenade and upmarket shops all enjoying this delightful island location. A short drive will bring you to the heart of Downtown Miami with its major businesses, banks and the American Airlines Arena. The shops and Art Deco area of South Beach are about 6 miles away along the MacArthur causeway.
As always, the Mandarin Oriental displays grand style throughout this five star luxury hotel in Miami’s exclusive Brickell Island location. Displaying a host of awards from Travel and Leisure’s ‘Top 100 hotels US and Canada 2006’ to its ongoing place on Condé Nast’s Gold List, this resort is something really special. Now the favorite haunt of celebrities who are tired of the crush of South Beach, such as J-Lo and Michael Jackson, this high-end luxury hotel offers gourmet dining, and a world class Spa which all enjoy splendid views over Biscayne Bay with great city scenes after dark.
The hotel has an Asian inspired décor with simple lines, white furnishing and polished wood flooring. Cleverly, many of the staff have been brought in from Asia to give the super-attentive service which they excel at.
Rooms range from the Superior Island View with spacious king size bed and accommodation to match, to the massive 20th floor Oriental Suite with full length balcony and state of the art theatre presentation room. With just one bedroom it nonetheless manages to occupy a full 2365 square feet with a piano, superfluous fireplace, kitchenette and dining room. For those happy to spend over $5000 per night, this is the ultimate in luxury hotel living.
The snobbish restaurant Azul is complemented by the more down-to-earth Café Sambal and both serve a wide choice of cuisine on their extensive menus. Outdoors is a beach club complete with luxury loungers, umbrellas and beach butlers. For those seeking understated luxury in an unrivalled setting, the Mandarin Oriental meets the needs of its most demanding guests – for a price.
