Honeymoons and romantic stays at SLS Brickell
SLS Brickell (the property at 1300 South Miami Avenue now operating under a new brand name) can work well for a honeymoon or romantic stay thanks to a rooftop pool deck with lounge seating and a rooftop restaurant/bar (Altitude Pool & Lounge), in-room dining, and event services for small ceremonies. Choose a Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Lux) or a Room (Lux) / Studio (Lux) depending on whether you want separate sleeping areas or a single king bed with city views.

Rooms and suites for couples
Room options named on the property include Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Lux); Room (Lux); and Studio (Lux). Each type lists king or multiple-bed configurations so couples can pick privacy or space.
For privacy and space, the Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Lux) features a King Bed plus a Queen or Double/Twin combination so one partner can use a separate room if desired. The Studio (Lux) includes 1 King Bed for a classic single-room stay.
Many room descriptions and photos emphasize city views and marble finishes; ask at booking about specific view requests and balcony availability.
- Studio (Lux): 1 King Bed — single-room layout for couples who want a compact option
- Room (Lux): 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds — option for a more spacious double-bed layout
- Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Lux): 1 King Bed and 1 Queen Bed or 1 Double Bed and 1 Twin Bed — best if you want separate living or sleeping areas

Rooftop pools, cabanas and poolside dining

These rooftop facilities are the main romantic daytime/early-evening setting on-site.
Cabanas and private seating areas can help create a more intimate poolside experience; confirm cabana fees, availability, and any age or guest limits with the hotel in advance.
