If you want the nicest hotel close to the ship, this is it. It's the only hotel in downtown Miami or Brickell with both an AAA Four Diamond and a Forbes Four-Star rating, and it says PortMiami is 2.9 miles and about 10 minutes away.
You're paying for the seventh-floor pool terrace, rooftop dining and Equinox access, and for the small things, like bags held before check-in and after checkout. It's a city hotel on the bay, not a beach resort, and parking runs $60 a day.
Have the concierge book the car the night before, not the morning of.
Book it if
- Couples who want real luxury without the drive from the beach
- Families, with the kids' pool and residences that have kitchens
- Anyone who wants the concierge to handle the ride
Look elsewhere if
- You want the ocean outside the window.
- You want to leave the car for the cruise at a set price.
What you’re paying for, and what you’re not
A splurge is worth it when you know exactly what the extra money buys. Green is on offer, gold comes with a cost or a catch, and grey isn’t there or isn’t stated.
Your night before, from here
From check-in to the gangway, using only what Four Seasons Miami publishes.
The seventh floor is a two-acre pool terrace with a heated main pool, a kids' pool and cabanas. Up there too: Edge for dinner, Bahía for Latin food on the terrace and Séptimo for a cocktail. NUNA does Nikkei fine dining, and guests get free access to the Equinox gym and spa downstairs.
No port shuttle. The hotel points you to rideshare for the short trip, or the concierge can book a private car. It lists a complimentary house car with a driver but doesn't say how far it goes. A taxi or rideshare covers the trip.
Not free. Edge serves breakfast, and there's in-room dining.
The hotel says it's "just 2.9 miles" from PortMiami, "a 10-minute drive." Your cruise line’s documents name your terminal and check-in window.
Self-parking is $60 a day and valet $65. The hotel doesn't publish a cruise-parking rate.
Getting here, and on to the ship
Pick where you’re coming from. Solid lines are rides the hotel publishes; a question mark is a leg you’ll arrange yourself. At a splurge hotel, that’s usually the morning ride.
The hotel's pages we read don't mention airport transport.
