Location: Brickell vs South Beach

SLS Brickell – Location

SLS Brickell (the property at 1300 S Miami Ave, now listed as Dua Miami) sits in Miami’s financial district with immediate access to Brickell City Centre and waterfront promenades.

  • Walkable to Brickell City Centre, Miami Riverwalk and the Metromover for downtown transit.
  • Good choice for dining, late-night venues and quick access to downtown offices.
  • Not on the ocean — reaching South Beach is a 15–20 minute drive depending on traffic.

Pick SLS Brickell for a downtown, walkable Miami base rather than a beach-first stay.

Royal Palm South Beach Miami, a Tribute Portfolio Resort – Location

Royal Palm is located on Collins Avenue in South Beach, directly on Miami Beach and within short walking distance of Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road.

  • Steps from the Miami Beach Boardwalk, Collins Avenue shopping and Art Deco attractions.
  • Direct beach access with beach loungers and cabanas available (surcharge applies for some services).
  • Better for sightseeing around South Beach and beach days without driving.

Pick Royal Palm if being on the sand and in South Beach’s tourist circuit is your priority.

Rooms: downtown suites vs beachfront rooms

SLS Brickell – Rooms

SLS Brickell’s property lists about 124 rooms and offers a mix of rooms and suites suited to urban travelers and event guests.

  • Room types listed include Studio (Lux), Room (Lux), and Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Lux).
  • Rooms historically include standard in-room conveniences and free Wi‑Fi.
  • Lead guest age and check-in policies have changed with the property’s rebrand — confirm current rules before booking.

Expect compact, design-forward rooms geared to city stays and groups.

Royal Palm South Beach Miami, a Tribute Portfolio Resort – Rooms

Royal Palm offers 404 guestrooms with ocean- and city-facing options in the South Beach neighborhood.

  • Rooms include private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads and complimentary toiletries (per listing).
  • Conveniences such as safes, desks, flat-screen TVs and free local calls are included.
  • Children 12 and under stay free when using existing bedding (per property policy).

Royal Palm provides larger inventory and direct beach-adjacent room options for beach-focused travelers.

Dining & drinks: rooftop bars vs beachside restaurants

SLS Brickell – Dining & drinks

SLS Brickell’s food and drink program centers on rooftop dining and nightlife, anchored by Altitude Pool & Lounge.

  • Altitude Pool & Lounge is a rooftop pool bar and restaurant offering al fresco dining and panoramic downtown views.
  • The property historically hosted additional restaurants and late-night lounges (offerings evolved through rebrands).
  • In-room dining service is available from the rooftop menu during daytime hours.

Choose it for rooftop social hours, poolside drinks and evening scene in Brickell.

Royal Palm South Beach Miami, a Tribute Portfolio Resort – Dining & drinks

Royal Palm lists three restaurants and two bars, with Mediterranean and local breakfast options highlighted.

  • Byblos Shorecrest is one named restaurant offering Mediterranean cuisine.
  • Daily local-cuisine breakfasts are offered for a fee; a coffee shop/cafe handles snacks.
  • Poolside bar and two lounges give beach-oriented spots for drinks and light meals.

Royal Palm is better if you want beachside breakfasts or walking access to Ocean Drive dining.

Pools & beach: rooftop pools vs oceanfront sand

SLS Brickell – Pools & beach

SLS Brickell features two rooftop pools on an elevated terrace with poolside bar service and cabanas available for a surcharge.

  • Rooftop programming has included DJs, pool events and seasonal wellness sessions.
  • Cabanas and umbrellas are typically available for an extra fee.
  • Pools are a social, downtown-focused amenity rather than ocean swimming.

The rooftop pools are a main draw if you want skyline views and poolside social time.

Royal Palm South Beach Miami, a Tribute Portfolio Resort – Pools & beach

Royal Palm combines an outdoor pool with direct access to the Atlantic, providing beach loungers and umbrellas.

  • Beach sun loungers and umbrellas are listed; beach cabanas available for a surcharge.
  • Outdoor pool complements the beachfront experience for guests who want pool and ocean options.
  • Water sports and snorkeling/diving options are listed as nearby activities.

Royal Palm is the obvious pick for travelers whose priority is stepping onto the sand.

Wellness & nightlife: spa, fitness and evening scene

SLS Brickell – Wellness & nightlife

SLS Brickell historically offered a full-service spa with steam rooms and a fitness center, plus late-night lounge options in Brickell.

  • Spa treatments previously included facials, wraps and access to sauna/steam rooms (spa operations varied after rebrand).
  • Fitness facilities and group classes were part of the property’s offerings.
  • Brickell’s nightlife and rooftop programming extend beyond the hotel into nearby bars and restaurants.

Good for guests who want on-site spa/fitness plus a short walk to downtown nightlife.
