Mandarin Oriental, Miami 
$$$$, Downtown
Fodor's Review:
If you can afford to stay here, do. The location, at the tip of Brickell Key in Biscayne Bay, is superb. Rooms facing west overlook the downtown skyline; to the east are Miami Beach and the blue Atlantic. There's also beauty in the details: sliding screens that close off the baths, dark wood, crisp linens, and room numbers hand-painted on rice paper at check-in. The Azul restaurant, with an eye-catching waterfall and private dining area at the end of a catwalk, serves a mix of Asian, Latin, Caribbean, and French cuisine. The hotel has a 20,000-square-foot private beach and an on-site spa. Pros: Only beach (man-made) in downtown, intimate feeling, and top luxury hotel. Cons: Small pool and few beach cabanas.

Beautiful room. Great dinner in Aqua. Tops the local Ritz-Carltons in Miami.Lovely, But Isolated

This is one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever visited. The restaurants are fabulous. If you are doing business nearby, the location is great, but if you want to do more than just look at Miami, then you need to get in a cab and go somewhere else. The room amenities are superior and service at all levels of the staff is attentive.Horrible service
Posted by Dave from New York on 11/27/05
I went to this hotel for a week in the beginning of 2005. Service was horrible. Front desk had only one clerk for about a line of 20 people checking in, took over an hour. The concierge was only interested in getting his tip. He was a 50ish Spanish man who should be working at the Days Inn. Miad service and pool service were also bad. Would never go back. Stay somewhere else.
