Rooms: downtown suites vs beachfront guestrooms

SLS Brickell – Rooms

SLS Brickell's inventory centers on fewer, design-forward guest rooms and suites geared to city stays and events.

  • Room types include Room (Lux), Studio (Lux), and Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Lux).
  • Smaller overall room count (about 124) compared with big beachfront resorts.
  • Some suites and rooms open to rooftop or city views rather than ocean panoramas.

SLS Brickell suits travelers who prioritize downtown location, design and event-friendly rooms over resort-style views.

Andaz Miami Beach Resort & Spa – Rooms

Andaz has a larger roster of guestrooms and suites, many with ocean or balcony options.

  • Room list includes Room, 1 King Bed (Collins Street View) up to Two Bedroom Ocean Terrace Suite and various ocean-view suites.

SLS Brickell is known for rooftop dining and late-night lounge options tied to its downtown scene.

  • Historically hosted restaurants such as Fi'lia and Bazaar Mar; offerings and operations have changed with rebranding.

Andaz Miami Beach Resort & Spa – Dining & drinks

  • Two restaurants plus a poolside bar and a beach bar provide resort-style mealtime choices.
  • Cooked-to-order breakfasts available (surcharge) and a coffee shop for snacks.
