Inside The Best Mix of Tropical and City: Four Seasons Miami

The Four Seasons Miami is the best of both worlds — it’s a tropical getaway and a city adventure all at once, stamped with the luxurious appeal of the Four Seasons brand.

The Four Seasons Miami is perfect for a family getaway, couples trip, or a tropical getaway. The service goes above and beyond — your every need will be met in a timely fashion. Get to know the staff and they’ll already know you — they were on top of every special request, allergy, food modification, and odd ask. This hotel is unlike other Miami hotels — it’s an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the city.

The location is great — it’s walking distance to Brickell City Center, with great restaurant and bar spots along the way. But there’s also no need to leave the hotel itself — everything you could want for a tropical getaway is on site.

The rooms are spacious and boast Diptyque toiletries (a plus for a luxe toiletry lover like myself!) in marbled bathrooms, and spa robes to keep you cozy post shower. Enjoy a warm welcome to your room thanks to booking through your Fora advisor (me!) — an amenity treat will be waiting for you when you open the door to your home for vacation. Make sure to take time to sit on the window seat and take in the sweeping Miami views.

Hungry? You can order room service at any time — they even have a highlighted menu of items that can arrive in 15 minutes or less (try the warm chocolate chip cookies as a nightcap — they’re heavenly). If you’re looking for a nice dinner, Edge Steakhouse is always available. Thinking about just drinks? Cheers your vacation buddies in the hotel lobby or along the extensive wrap around bar. The pool-side options don’t disappoint as well — the food and the drinks are refreshing, just what you need while soaking up the Florida sun.

Some more pro-tips to elevate your stay:

• Book through your Fora advisor to VIP your stay — check in as early as noon (subject to availability) and request a late check out.

• The breakfast is outstanding — the tropical fruit plate is a must try. (breakfast for two complimentary with your Fora booked stay)

• Take advantage of the Equinox Gym on the 4th floor — the eucalyptus towels are a great end to any workout.

• A massage at the Equinox Spa is a must — you’ll walk away relaxed and in full on vacation mode.

• Spend a full day (or two) by the pool — the snacks and treats the staff brings around are delicious. (my favorites are the coconut popsicles and the watermelon bites sprinkled with tajin)

• Get out to the pool early and ask the pool staff to reserve a white cabana for you (if you’re a shade lover) or pool chairs for your whole party — they’ll take good care of you!

• Even more of a pro tip — stop by the pool pre-breakfast to claim your chairs, head to breakfast at the Edge, then relax by the pool afterwards.

• The pool is technically open 24 hours — take a night swim and look up at the stars.

• Don Julio Rosado is newly partnered with the FS bar — try a delicious pink margarita during your stay.

I recommend Four Seasons Miami to clients looking for a family trip, a multi-couple destination, or a relaxing getaway. Reach out and let me plan your vacation in Miami!
