Dining at the hotel: Altitude Pool & Lounge and on-site restaurants
Dining at SLS Brickell centers on Altitude Pool & Lounge, the rooftop pool bar and restaurant that serves cocktails and al fresco meals with downtown Miami views. The hotel also historically hosted other on-site venues (Fi'lia, Bazaar Mar, The Lounge) though availability and names have changed with the property's rebrand—confirm current restaurant hours and open venues with the concierge before you go.

Menu style and service details
Public summaries describe Altitude as a pool lounge that focuses on cocktails, drinks and pool-friendly dining; the hotel lists cocktails and drink service explicitly. The rooftop format means more casual, al fresco plates rather than a multi-course formal menu.
If you need food delivered to your room, in-room dining from Altitude is available for breakfast and lunch between 8:00am and 5:00pm according to property information. For evenings or reservations, check with the concierge because hours can change.
- Pool-lounge style cocktails & light plates
- In-room dining breakfast & lunch 8:00am–5:00pm
- Evening service and special programming vary—ask concierge
| Item | Typical availability |
|---|---|
| Cocktails & bar service | Daytime + evenings (check daily hours) |

| Room delivery from rooftop menu | Breakfast & lunch (8:00am–5:00pm) |
Poolside logistics: cabanas, access and programming
Altitude shares the rooftop terrace with two outdoor pools; sun loungers and umbrellas are provided and cabanas are available for an additional charge. The pool deck also hosts scheduled programming such as DJs and (under the property's newer programming notes) occasional wellness events.
The property's dining and pool areas are described as wheelchair accessible via a wheelchair-accessible path to the elevator and accessible public washrooms. If you need specific mobility accommodations at the pool or cabana, contact the concierge in advance.

Other on-site restaurants and bars — status and history
Historically the property hosted several on-site venues including Fi'lia (Italian by chef Michael Schwartz), Bazaar Mar (José Andrés' seafood concept), and The Lounge (an indoor/outdoor cocktail space). Some of those venues have had status changes and closures during the property's rebrand, so availability can differ from older listings.
Because the hotel has undergone rebranding and management changes, confirm current open venues and reservation options with the concierge before planning a meal if you want Fi'lia, Bazaar Mar or The Lounge specifically.
- Fi'lia: Italian concept formerly at the hotel (hours and closures have varied)
- Bazaar Mar: José Andrés' seafood concept has been listed as an on-site option in past venue lists
- The Lounge: indoor/outdoor cocktail lounge used for afterparties and evening hours (hours varied)
| Venue | Past listing / note |
|---|---|
| Fi'lia | Italian restaurant by Michael Schwartz — had indoor and outdoor seating (past listings) |
| Bazaar Mar | Seafood restaurant by José Andrés — listed in some past venue guides |
| The Lounge | Second-floor cocktail lounge with terrace (hours varied) |
Sustainability, accessibility and hospitality details
The property has stated eco-conscious dining practices such as not using single-use plastic straws, stirrers or single-use bottled soda and water in restaurant and bar service. Reusable tableware and compostable stirrers are part of that policy in published material.
Dining areas and the restaurant are described as wheelchair accessible; if you require specific accessible seating, menu accommodations, or dietary information, contact the concierge or front desk ahead of arrival.
- No single-use plastic straws, stirrers or disposable bottled soda/water (property statement)
- Wheelchair-accessible dining path to elevator and accessible public washrooms
- Concierge can assist with dietary questions or accessibility requests
| Guest need | What to do |
|---|---|
| Accessible seating | Contact concierge in advance |
| Dietary restrictions | Ask restaurant or concierge for menu options |
| Sustainability practices | Property avoids single-use plastics in dining service |
Practical tips before you go
Because many third-party sites still reference older SLS-era listings while the property has been rebranded, confirm current venue names, hours, and reservation policies with the hotel concierge or front desk before you arrive. The property's dining hours and which restaurants are open can change with rebranding and management.
Valet parking is available for a surcharge if you are driving to dine on-site. The hotel is not all-inclusive—meals and drinks are typically charged separately from room rates.
- Confirm current restaurant names and hours with concierge (on-site phone or 24/7 BookResorts line)
- Valet parking available for a surcharge; confirm rates at arrival
- Meals and drinks are not included in room rates unless a specific package says so
| Contact | Use for |
|---|---|
| Hotel front desk / concierge | Current restaurant hours, reservations, accessibility requests |
| BookResorts agents (24/7) | +1 (888) 605-1350 (booking assistance) |
| On arrival | Ask about cabana reservations and valet parking rates |
