When Four Seasons Hotel Miami wins: Choose Four Seasons if you prefer a quieter, city-centered luxury stay in Brickell with a compact, well-appointed set of 221 rooms, a heated rooftop main pool plus a separate kids pool, and access to Equinox Brickell fitness facilities. It fits business travelers, families who want a calm pool terrace and guests who value a polished hotel service footprint.

  • More rooms and higher capacity for large groups, meetings and events.
