Quick Verdict: SLS Brickell vs The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort

When SLS Brickell (Dua Miami) wins: choose this if you want to stay in the heart of Brickell—walkable to restaurants, shops, the Metromover—and prefer a rooftop pool, lively nightlife programming, or a hotel that doubles as an events/wedding venue.

When The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort wins: choose St. Regis if your priority is Atlantic Ocean beachfront access, on-site beach amenities and cabanas, a larger full-service spa and multiple signature restaurants in a quiet, luxury seaside neighborhood near Bal Harbour Shops.
