Location: Brickell urban core vs. South Beach sand

SLS Brickell – Location

SLS Brickell (now listed as Dua Miami) sits in Brickell’s dense financial district for an urban, walkable stay.

  • Steps from Brickell City Centre, restaurants, and the Miami Riverwalk.
  • Walkable neighborhood and free Metromover connections to downtown; not on the ocean.
  • Drive to South Beach takes about 15–20 minutes by car depending on traffic.

Choose this if you want a downtown base for walking, shopping and nightlife in Brickell.

Loews Miami Beach Hotel South Beach – Location

Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach sits on Collins Avenue with immediate beach access and a South Beach address.

  • Direct access to Miami Beach and the Miami Beach Boardwalk; steps from Lincoln Road and Española Way.
  • Ideal for guests prioritizing beach time and classic South Beach streetscapes.
  • Preferred airport for the property is Miami International Airport (MIA).

Choose Loews if beach proximity and South Beach attractions are your main priority.

Rooms: downtown suites vs. beachfront rooms

SLS Brickell – Rooms

SLS Brickell/Dua Miami is smaller and more hotel‑boutique in scale, with suites and standard rooms focused on city views and a rooftop experience.

  • Room types listed include Studio (Lux), Room (Lux), and Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Lux).
  • Free Wi‑Fi throughout the property and in-room conveniences for business and leisure.
  • Smaller room count than Loews, which can mean a more intimate feel for events.

Choose SLS Brickell for city-view rooms and a rooftop-centric layout; the property is much smaller than Loews.

Loews Miami Beach Hotel South Beach – Rooms

Loews offers many room types including partial ocean view, oceanfront balconies, and multiple suite configurations.

  • Make yourself at home in one of the 790 air-conditioned rooms with premium bedding and minibars.
  • Room types explicitly include Oceanfront, Partial Ocean View, City Skyline View, and multiple accessible options.
  • Large inventory suits groups, families, and guests seeking straightforward ocean views.

Loews is better if you want more room-type choices, ocean-view balconies, or a larger property inventory.

Dining & drinks: rooftop tapas and DJ sets vs. resort variety

SLS Brickell – Dining & drinks

SLS Brickell’s food and drink scene is rooftop-forward, anchored by Altitude Pool & Lounge and a selection of other legacy venues.

  • Altitude Pool & Lounge is the rooftop pool bar/restaurant with panoramic downtown views and live DJ programming.
  • On-site venues previously included restaurants by recognized chefs (dining line-up changed with rebrand).
  • Rooftop happy hours and DJ sets are part of the property’s social calendar.

Pick SLS Brickell for rooftop dining, nightlife energy, and skyline views with poolside service.

Loews Miami Beach Hotel South Beach – Dining & drinks

Loews runs multiple on-site restaurants and bars, plus room service and a coffee shop for resort-style convenience.

  • Four restaurants plus a coffee shop/cafe and a bar/lounge; to-go breakfasts available (fee).
  • Room service offered during limited hours and a bar/lounge for evening drinks.
  • Family-friendly dining options and snack availability on site.

Loews is the simpler choice for varied on-site dining without leaving the resort, especially for families.

Pools & beach: rooftop pools vs. beachfront resort experience

SLS Brickell – Pools & beach

SLS Brickell centers pool life on its rooftop terrace with two pools, cabanas, and a pool bar.

  • Two rooftop outdoor pools (some sources describe them as infinity pools) on the rooftop terrace.
  • Cabanas and poolside service available for a surcharge; lounge programming includes weekend DJs and events.
  • Pool deck offers downtown skyline views rather than ocean access.

SLS Brickell’s rooftop pools are best for skyline views and a social pool scene; they do not provide an ocean swim.

Loews Miami Beach Hotel South Beach – Pools & beach

Loews combines a resort pool area with immediate beach access for ocean swimming and boardwalk walks.

  • One outdoor pool on property plus two hot tubs, with beach towels and pool cabanas (surcharge).
  • Direct access to the sand and Miami Beach boardwalk for ocean swimming and long walks.
  • Pool and beach programming aimed at families and general‑audience resort guests.

Loews is the straightforward pick if beach access and resort-style pool/beach time are essential.

Wellness, nightlife & events: spa, steam rooms, and big event spaces

SLS Brickell – Wellness, nightlife & events

SLS Brickell (Dua Miami) pairs a full-service spa, fitness offerings and an extensive event and wedding program.

  • Historically had Ciel Spa with sauna and steam rooms and spa treatments (status/hours varied after rebrand).
  • Fitness center, tennis court, and scheduled fitness/yoga classes were part of the property’s offerings.
  • Very large event space including the George Ballroom and multiple breakout rooms for conferences and weddings.

Choose SLS Brickell when you need big event facilities, rooftop nightlife, and urban wellness offerings.

Loews Miami Beach Hotel South Beach – Wellness, nightlife & events

Loews offers a full-service spa and general resort wellness amenities, with straightforward family programming.

  • Full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials; health club, sauna and steam room available.
  • Children’s club and supervised childcare available for a surcharge — useful for families.
  • Ballroom and some meeting space for groups, but overall event portfolio is smaller than SLS Brickell’s larger footprint.

Loews is a strong fit for travelers who want spa treatments plus family-friendly programming and straightforward meetings.
