Location: Brickell downtown vs. Collins Avenue beachfront

SLS Brickell – Location

SLS Brickell (now Dua Miami) sits in Brickell’s dense financial/dining neighborhood for a city-focused itinerary.

  • Walking distance to Brickell City Centre, Miami Riverwalk and Metromover connections.
  • Good for dining, bars, galleries and fast access to downtown Miami.
  • No ocean beach at the door; South Beach is a 15–20 minute drive.

Choose the Brickell hotel if you want walkable city access and skyline views rather than a beach stay.

1 Hotel South Beach – Location

1 Hotel South Beach is oceanfront on Collins Avenue, steps from the Miami Beach boardwalk and the sand.

  • Beach access and beach amenities (sun loungers, umbrellas, cabanas available).
  • Short walks to Lincoln Road Mall, Española Way, and South Beach attractions.
  • Airport transfers and rideshares to downtown take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic.

Pick 1 Hotel for a beach-first Miami Beach location within easy walking distance of Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road.

Rooms: urban suites vs. larger beachfront inventory

SLS Brickell – Rooms

SLS Brickell’s building-level listings show roughly 124 rooms across its floors, with a mix of studios, rooms and 2-bedroom suites.

  • Room types listed historically: Studio (Lux); Room (Lux); Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Lux).
  • Free Wi‑Fi throughout public areas and rooms.
  • Design-driven interiors and city views from higher floors.

Brickell’s rooms suit city travelers or groups needing multi-room suites, but this property is not beachfront.

1 Hotel South Beach – Rooms

1 Hotel South Beach has a much larger inventory — 426 guestrooms — spanning standard rooms to suites with ocean views.

  • Rooms feature tablets, LCD TVs, premium bedding and rainfall showers or deep soaking tubs (supplier notes).
  • Complimentary wireless internet in rooms and public areas.
  • Family-friendly room options and childcare services available for a surcharge.

1 Hotel offers more room variety and direct ocean views, useful for families and longer resort stays.

Dining & drinks: rooftop scene vs. multiple resort venues

SLS Brickell – Dining & drinks

SLS Brickell’s food-and-drink identity centers on its rooftop Altitude Pool & Lounge and historically noted signature venues.

  • Altitude Pool & Lounge: rooftop pool bar/restaurant with panoramic downtown views and al fresco seating.
  • Historically hosted venues include Fi’lia and Bazaar-Mar (some venues listed as closed after rebrand—check current status).
  • On-site bars and a lounge space support evening entertainment and private events.

Brickell focuses on rooftop dining and nightlife; verify current restaurant openings under the property’s rebrand before booking.

1 Hotel South Beach – Dining & drinks

1 Hotel South Beach runs three restaurants (including WATR AT THE 1 ROOFTOP) plus six bars/lounges and pool bars.

  • WATR AT THE 1 ROOFTOP is a highlighted rooftop restaurant; 24-hour room service and a coffee shop/cafe are available.
  • Full breakfasts are offered for a surcharge; multiple bar options make it easy to move between casual and formal dining.
  • Poolside food and multiple bars support resort-style dining all day.

1 Hotel provides more on-site dining and bar variety, with formal and casual options geared to beachside resort stays.

Pools & beach: rooftop pools vs. multiple resort pools and the ocean

SLS Brickell – Pools & beach

SLS Brickell’s pool experience is focused on a rooftop deck with two outdoor pools and poolside programming.

  • Two rooftop pools (reports describe infinity pools) plus rooftop DJ, events and cabanas available for a surcharge.
  • Poolside bar service and an active social program were part of the rooftop offering.
  • No on-site ocean beach; beach trips require a drive to Miami Beach.

Choose SLS Brickell for a rooftop pool-and-party vibe with city views — not for ocean swimming at the hotel.

1 Hotel South Beach – Pools & beach

1 Hotel South Beach has three outdoor pools, two poolside bars, and direct Atlantic beachfront access.

  • Multiple pools let guests move between quieter and livelier pool areas.
  • Beach amenities include sun loungers, umbrellas and cabanas (some for a surcharge).
  • Watersports and beach activities are available nearby or on site (snorkeling, kayaking, sailing listed among nearby activities).

1 Hotel is the clear choice for guests who want easy beach access plus a variety of pool settings on property.

Wellness & nightlife: spa, fitness and evening options

SLS Brickell – Wellness & nightlife

SLS Brickell offered a full-service spa (Ciel Spa at SLS), fitness center and active nightlife spaces.

  • Spa historically included saunas, steam room and relaxation lounges plus signature treatments.
  • Fitness facilities and fitness/yoga classes were available to guests.
  • The property has on-site nightlife spaces such as The Lounge and rooftop DJ programming.

Brickell blends spa and fitness with a stronger emphasis on nightlife and rooftop social programming.

1 Hotel South Beach – Wellness & nightlife

1 Hotel South Beach emphasizes wellness in a resort setting with a full-service spa and 24-hour fitness facilities.

  • Spa offers massages, body treatments and facials; reservations required for treatments.
  • Fitness options include a 24-hour fitness center, Pilates classes on site and bicycle rentals.
  • Wellness programming and eco-focused initiatives are part of the hotel’s positioning.

If wellness programming plus beach access matters most, 1 Hotel South Beach offers a more resort-oriented wellness experience.
