Quick Verdict: Four Seasons Hotel Miami vs The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami

When Four Seasons Hotel Miami wins: choose Four Seasons if you want a central Brickell address, skyline and bay views from a high-rise, an expansive rooftop pool terrace with a kids' pool, and complimentary access to Equinox fitness facilities.

When The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami wins: pick the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne if your priority is a beachfront setting, multiple outdoor sports (notably 11 outdoor tennis courts), larger resort grounds with kids' activities, and a more island-style resort pace.

Bottom line: both are luxury, family-friendly properties.
