My friends and I spent a Sunday at the Kimpton Surfcomber and booked the Ivy cabana. The cabana itself was cute, comfortable, and gave just the right amount of shade and far enough from the neighboring cabanas so it felt semi private. Service was great. Our attendant was attentive but not hovering, kept the drinks coming, and food came out fast. Everything we ordered was solid -- perfect pool-day food and refreshing cocktails. There is a minimum spend requirement for the cabana, but it was super easy to hit between food and drinks. And considering you're paying for a dedicated space, service, and a prime poolside setup, it felt worth it. Overall, it was the perfect day to unwind and feel a little luxe. I'd definitely book the Ivy cabana again. read more

The Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel was a great place to stay. The service was excellent, and the staff was genuinely kind, welcoming, and always ready to help whenever needed. The food was very good as well. We enjoyed a complimentary breakfast as part of our hot tub booking, which was a nice bonus and a great way to start the day. One of the highlights of the hotel is the easy beach access from the back. You can simply walk out and reach the beach, and the area feels safe and lively. You'll often see people jogging, exercising, and enjoying the outdoors, which adds to the energetic South Beach vibe. The walk around the area is pleasant, and the overall atmosphere feels fun and relaxed. Overall, the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel is a wonderful place with great service, good food, and a cool beachside vibe. I would definitely recommend it for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. read more

Let me start by saying we had a blast here! We've been here in the past, but this time we had an opportunity to have a balcony, ocean view pool suite, and I jumped on the opportunity. From the moment we arrived with check-in, getting our bags to our room, we were treated like true VIPs. Once we got to the room, we had time to change and head to the pool. The evenings were great as we were able to sit out on the balcony and relax, while at the same time being in the lobby or hitting the restaurant was always great. We took advantage of the on-site yoga classes and the beach every day while we were there. The beach area was nice, in the servers supporting the beach I felt did their best to accommodate all of the guests outside. If you're a frequent AMEX user, I would definitely recommend going through your AMEX as it really did just make a difference. The grounds were well kept the pool was clean. The staff was friendly and most importantly, we had an overall great experience. I would definitely recommend it for anybody coming to South Beach to come here, as it's centrally located and it's easily accessible to lots of other activities you may want to consider. read more

I spent a short vacation at the Kimpton Surfcomber hotel and visited their restaurant, The Social Club. The service provided by Jennifer was fabulous! She was so hospitable, anticipatory, knowledgeable and simply wonderful at her craft. I enjoyed speaking to her as well as taking her dining recommendations. This restaurant was wonderful! Ambiance terrific, comfortable --including both indoor and outdoor dining. I will definitely visit again. Ask for Jennifer! read more

I enjoyed my week stay here, it is a good location and since I was there for business I didn't have a chance to check out the pool or other accommodations. The room was clean and comfortable.

Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Still a go to spot for me! The rooms are showing their age a bit...but it adds to the charm, for me-I love a cozy boutique hotel, over a large chain. Service is still top notch-bottle of wine in our room and at check in (as we missed the happy hour by maybe 10 minutes.) Bellhop service, front desk, and room service are all friendly and super helpful. They had extended events going on for the holidays-it was fun to try different drinks and chat with people. Had both a great beach day Saturday (wonderful service, I wish I could remember their names!) as well as a pool day Sunday. Even got an upgrade to a free daybed (I think it's because my husband is so cute ) Super dog friendly-Jack Jack even had his own amenities at check in and was happy to show off all his tricks (fist pump was popular.) We will be back! read more

My girlfriends and I stayed at the Kimpton Hotel in Miami for a long weekend, and unfortunately, it was frustrating from start to finish. After taking a red-eye, I called at 6 a.m. to let them know we'd arrive around 1 p.m. They couldn't promise early check-in but said they'd try. We arrived at 1 p.m. and were placed in a queue, but we waited until after the official 4 p.m. check-in time. By 4 p.m., still no room was ready; finally, at 4:45 p.m., we got one. To make matters worse, the main elevator was down. We had to carry our luggage up stairs and across the hotel just to find a working elevator. Exhausted from no sleep, we missed the chance to rest before dinner reservations. When we checked out, they promised to email me a receipt. The charges didn't match my credit card--I found an extra charge. They admitted the error and said they'd reverse it, but instead, they charged me even more. After contacting management, they reimbursed the first charge but not the second. They haven't corrected the final issue or followed up. I've reached out many times through phone calls and emails to have this issue resolved. It was a disappointing end to an already stressful stay. Will never stay at this location again. read more

Beautiful place but questionable service. Also we paid for a cabana until 6pm and at 4pm they told us we had to leave for a special event. then they said we could stay but we had to move. By the time we packed up we decided to leave. Food took almost 2 hours to come and was just ok. Calamari was from a frozen box and lollipop wings were decent. drinks were good and the pool was nice. probably would go somewhere else next time. read more

The Kimpton Surfcomber is a intimate and service oriented small hotel on Collins Ave. Located amongst all the activity , restaurants/bars/stores, the Kimpton provides tranquility and fun before you go back out to adventure Service without attitude was everywhere as the hotel staff clearly know how to treat guests. We ate in the downstairs restaurant for breakfast once and it was very good. Pool area is beautiful with massage areas tucked away off the pool , a bar, lounging area and Yoga area. All the way at the back of the property is direct access to the beautiful beaches of Miami No doubt I would book another stay at Kimpton Surfcomber - I hope you enjoy it as much as we did read more

He needs to sit in the pool area himself -can't see ocean -valet said 25min?!? ($48) Thankfully my group went to bathroom and kids got ice-cream (24$) read more

My friend and I stayed here for the weekend earlier this December. Definitely make sure that all members of your party are on the reservation as they won't let you check in or use any of the hotel facilities like the pool or beach. I arrived a few hours before my friend, and I wanted to lie out by the pool, but the manager refused to let me check in, so I had to buy a day pass through resort pass in order to use the pool. While it was a bit of a rough start to the weekend, I really enjoyed the pool experience. Escaping the cold, New Jersey weather and lying out in the breezy yet sunny Miami weather was a dream. When my friend arrived, we headed up to the room to prepare for dinner. Our room was clean, modern, and airy. They had a mini bar with lots of good wines and lots of snacks in case you don't feel like leaving the room. You can stream your device to the smart TV as well as check out through the TV. The bathroom was small, but clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. Air-conditioning worked well and I wore the robe to even wore the robe to stay warm! The hotel has a fantastic location in South Beach. It's walking distance to Lincoln Road, a Walgreens, and lots of restaurants in little shops along Collins Avenue. We felt safe walking around, but as always, be aware of your surroundings. Inside the hotel, there's a restaurant and they have coffee, hot chocolate, and wine in the lobby at certain times in the day. The grounds are beautiful and great for strolling around. The pool and beach areas are really nice. To check into the pool, you have to make sure you're wearing your bracelet of the day and you go to the stand and pick up your towels. The staff will set it up for you and someone is usually taking food and drink orders while you enjoy yourself. Things are definitely expensive on the menu, but the quality and service is good and you get what you pay for! For the beach, it's the same. You walk up to the hut, and they set up your lounge chair for you. The ocean was beautiful and the weather was perfect so we had a really wonderful time on our beach day. They also bring food and drink to you at the beach and they can either charge your hotel room or you can pay cash. Sleep quality was pretty good. I always travel with a white noise machine as there's usually a lot of noise or unfamiliar sounds at a hotel. If I was in the area again, I wouldn't mind staying here again! read more

I've stayed at several Kimpton hotels and this one by far was the biggest disappointment. I flew into Miami for work but it was also my partners birthday so I brought them with me so they could enjoy this beautiful city. However, the Kimpon defenitly let us down and if I would of known the experience and room I would have recieved, I defenitly would of stayed elsewhere. I've honestly stayed at Hilton and marriot hotels that are way nicer then this resort. I stayed here in March of 2024 and it's a really outdated hotel. This place defenitly needs a revamp. The resort grounds itself are very nice and the beach access is convenient. Good location in south beach. As a Platinum member, I tried checking at noon. They informed me my premium room with city view would be available soon. I waited till about 2pm and inquired again about my room, the front desk stated they couldn't get ahold of housekeeping so to wait a little more which I had no problem. By 4:20 I still hadn't been notified that my room was ready so when I checked again with the front desk, they stated that my room still wasn't ready but that they are moving me to one that was. I had no issue since I needed to get into a room fast since I had to go to a work meeting shortly. We got up to our accessible room and it was a total let down. To be paying as much as we are and get a room that's all dinged up and dirty is so disappointing. We let the front desk we are unhappy with our room and that our shower was broken and they just apologized and sent up a handy man to fix the shower. The IHG service I'm use to is defenitly not here. I highly reccomend you don't waste your money here like I did. $700 bucks I won't be getting back staying here for two nights. Really dissapointed with my stay and I just hope they can improve this resort. Not fair to their consumers/customers who are paying $300-$400 a night to stay here. read more

As a self-professed Kimpton junkie, I put a lot of effort into deciding which Miami-area property to stay at on a recent trip. I chose the Surfcomber for its proximity to the beach, and I think that was the best part about this property. There was very little that felt like a Kimpton to me other than seeing the various Kimpton signs throughout the property. The room itself left much to be desired. There was a THICK coat of dust on both end tables, so thick that we could not rub it off easily. The bathroom was, as everyone mentioned, tiny, and the shower was awful. It was hard to adjust the temperature in the shower, and the knob actually came off in my hand the last day. The shower also did not drain, so we had to stand in ankle-deep water every time we showered. There was sand left in it when we were done after we came back from the beach. It was just gross. The blinds did not sufficiently block out the light, so we woke up earlier than planned both nights. There was also nowhere to store anything. This came at the tail of a week-long trip in multiple locations, and I had a full-sized suitcase I had to wedge between the bed and wall. As a Diamond IHG member, I was not offered an upgrade of any sort, and the only amenity I received was "free" breakfast, which was not actually free because it only counted up to $20, which most entrees were more than, and we had to pay tax and tip separately. (Tip was automatically added.) I've never encountered this at Kimpton before, and even stayed at the Ft. Lauderdale property after and the free breakfast was truly ALL IN. The highlight, though, was the beach. It was the beach, after all. Beyond that, it was average, again not Kimpton standard. We rented an umbrella for $25 and used the two "free" beach chairs that came with the huge amenity fee charged nightly by the hotel (which felt a little or a waste as we checked in late the first night and left early the second morning). There was drink service, but it was hard to flag them down. The crew was also extremely quick to take the umbrellas down due to the first gust of wind, which I understand, but they were slower to put them up than every other property along the beach. We didn't use the pool, but it was massively crowded and had a loud DJ when we walked back from the beach. That is probably some people's thing, but this doesn't seem like the "relax and chill" properly if that's what you're looking for. The service was fine. I didn't feel like anyone went beyond the basic standards of care for us. As mentioned, no upgrades based on status were given and no one seemed too concerned when we reported how bad the shower was. Finally, the valet was absurdly slow. It took almost a half hour to get your car, and usually the pull through area in front of the hotel was packed and difficult to navigate. The first time we got our car, we actually had to walk out onto the busy street and get in that way. Not the safest method. All in all, this place only has any good feelings because of its beach location. It definitely does not live up to that Kimpton standard. read more

We booked an Ivy Cabana through Resort Pass for the day for a bachelorette party. It's a very cute hotel with a nice space. I will note that the service is a bit slow and the bathrooms are very soggy and wet from pool visitors. We were a group of eight and it was a bit tight so some of us sat on the floor. We also had a party right next to us. Most of us enjoyed cocktails inside a coconut. The coconut cocktails are not only delicious but super cute for any Yelp photo. They provided us with towels which was great. It wasn't a far walk from the beach either. I enjoyed the fish tacos I got and the guacamole. We all loved the fries, they felt extra fried which made them so crunchy and delicious. There is a required spending for the cabanas. We booked this after Drag Brunch at Palace Bar and it was a great transition. This was a fantastic way to spend our afternoon. read more

We stayed here for a long weekend and overall enjoyed it a ton! The pool, lobby and walkway to the pool were all lovely. Our room was fine- clean and comfortable but no balcony (no rooms had a balcony) and the bathroom was small! It was our 30th Anniversary and the hotel did leave us a card and dessert plate which was thoughtful. We enjoyed the beach chairs - and the pool was perfect after time in the ocean. The morning coffee was delicious as was the evening wine. Parking was expensive but the valet guys were friendly and it is Miami. Best part of this hotel is the location - close to fantastic restaurants and the beach. read more

My friend and I came to the hotel bar located poolside/beachside for their Havana Nights event. The organizer gave us two free mojitos each with RSVP, which by the way, packed quite a punch! They have a beautiful pool area which leads to a tiki bar patio and sandbar. The gate that encloses it gives way to beach access. The patio has a stage where we listened to a great Cuban band while sipping on our mojitos. It does have a contrast with the polished looking poolside area right next to it, since the tables and chairs are all bare wooden mixed in with picnic tables. The string lights they had up made it cute, like someone's backyard. They have a hammock strung up that was fun to sit in and take pictures with. We thought it would be more of a lounge type of setting and event, considering the caliber of hotel, so we were a bit surprised by the setup. It looked like the people who came out were either hotel guests or older patrons, which explained why we were immediately hit on by a table of guys when we arrived at the bar. The person who appeared to be a manager was welcoming when we checked in for the event, the bartender not so much. I don't think I saw him smile as he made the drinks and presented them to us. He may not have been very excited to be working there. Regardless of the people who work at or patronize the establishment, I saw the hotel facilities are certainly worth a return for, i.e. the pool and beach access point. I'm very much up for going back for a meal here! read more

Had a wonderful 3 night stay here. We arrived around 10am on a Friday from our cruise. We were immediately greeted and assisted with our luggage by the doormen. The front desk staff was so kind and explained that our room probably wouldn't be ready until 3pm, but they could store our luggage, allowing us to enjoy the hotel amenities and to roam the city while we waited. Luckily, They sent us a text message at 12pm notifying us that our room was ready. Laying out by the pool and at the beach was our favorite thing to do all weekend. We received superb service from all staff members at this hotel. read more

If you want your family's vacation to be an ongoing part of the staff training program, then the Surfcomber is for you. We tried to explain to an inexperienced waiter named Pedro that per the front desk there was to be no charge for children 12 and under. We'd confirmed this policy with the hostess. Asked whether he was disagreeing with the front desk in denying the policy, Pedro responded with attitude, "No. I'm just telling you how it is." The mulishness would have been laughable, except he pretty much ruined the relaxing vibe. If you disagree with your front desk, take the short walk and get clarification. Taking your frustration with internal miscommunication out on guests is pretty much the death knell for repeat business (if not your job), especially for a hotel chain that routinely services corporate executives (my former employer used the Kimpton in San Francisco - persistent professionalism there). The front desk assured us a manager would speak with Pedro, but after the incident, he kept cheerily wishing us a happy thanksgiving, as if nothing at all untoward had occurred (and he certainly was not worried about his job). Whether you're ordering on premises or for take-out, you're automatically charged a 20% gratuity. Does Kimpton offer its waitstaff any incentive to provide respectful service? The staff person sent to replace our broken coffee machine said "this isn't my job, there's a houseman who handles this sort of thing." Of course, he unplugged our fridge, without re-plugging it and the replacement machine he'd brought did not work anyway (we learned both the following morning). There's no direct line from room to the valet, all communications went through the busy front desk, and it took about 30 minutes to get your vehicle. There's a downside to this system when there's miscommunication, and your vehicle's not ready in time. We learned the hard way to go the valet way in advance and request our vehicle directly (not helpful for emergencies). Some staff tried hard and were courteous, and the front desk tried to address these issues with credits. However, we go on vacation to relax, not to spend our precious time seeking appropriate treatment as guests. My wife is unhappy I'd booked Kimpton Surfcomber. Who would have known it just wasn't ready for prime time? read more

I stayed here for a night after an overnight flight. The hotel staff were super helpful, we were able to check in early in the morning and take advantage of the pool and beach amenities. The pool service was excellent. The hotel also has an area on the beach a short walk away with complimentary chairs and towels. The location was excellent, many restaurants and shops within walking distance, a great place to stay and relax. The only downside is the noise level at night, there was music playing until quite late. read more

Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I stayed here for a few days for a medical conference and there was a lot left to desire. I specifically requested a king size bedroom but then was given a double bedroom which looked like it hasn't been cleaned at all. There was dust and the bathroom looked outdated and didn't look clean either. The bathroom was also very small and cramped. I called the front desk about the room type mix-up and they told me they will have a room for me with a king bed the next day. After waiting 24 hours, the new room was exactly the same as my existing room which was also a double queen bed. I mean come on, how hard is it for the staff to follow directions on this? The cleaning staff takes longer than 8 hrs to clean rooms and may be severely understaffed since they are still working beyond 5:00 p.m. to clean all the rooms. After my meetings, I came back and they're still cleaning rooms which is a inconvenience for hotel guest after being away all day and just wanted to decompress in their rooms before heading out for the evening. The beach staff starts packing things up at 5:00 p.m. so I didn't get a chance to really enjoy the beach before it got dark at 6:00 p. I stayed at other hotels like Lowe's in my previous trips to Miami and this hotel does not compare to those four-star hotels. I don't think the four stars is deserved here. Hope management gets there act together and raise the standards for this property. read more

Alright let me get into this. I encourage those of you who are considering Kimpton Surfcomber for a stay that you read this review in total because I have a lot of points to make that should help with your decision. First, I did a lot of research before booking this hotel considering location, room amenities, resort amenities and price of course and these were the factors that won me over. Loved the location. Nestled in the heart of Collins Avenue right in the middle of a lot of action. There were tons of options for eating, drinking and having a good time. Also a short walking distance to Lincoln Road Mall if you are up for shopping and it's away from the craziness of the Ocean Drive strip. Also convenient, I LOVE LIQUOR liquor store (trust me you need this), Surf Style (convenient if like me and my friend you need cheap flip flops, souvenir magnets, sun screen and they have some really cool Miami gear) and Walgreens (for those other random incidentals). About the room(s). We had a queen double. The room was very spacious and very clean. I loved the bed. It was super comfortable. TV had my member information on the screen upon my arrival where I could view my bill, see how many points I'd earned, etc and that was a welcoming touch. However, there were definitely signs of wear and tear upon closer inspection. There was a big plastic ottoman that seemed out of place and a little tattered, a glass desk with a strange wood box attached underneath and the dresser where the fridge was located obviously had leaky track record. The tub in the bathroom had all sorts of knicks in it and the sink was all glass, bulky and got really messy when I used it. Also the way the bathroom is set up you can not get up close on the mirror. You have the toilet, the big sink and then the tub/shower all next to each other. So if you're a guy and need to shave or a girl who wants to do her makeup, the bathroom mirror is not conducive to that. Thankfully there was a full length mirror outside the bathroom and honestly at this point I just appreciate that the sink was in the bathroom because honey some of these other hotels with the sink outside in the actual room with no privacy is a deal breaker for me I don't care how close to the person I am sharing the room with. Shall we now discuss the mini bar situation. There's a mini bar and then there's a Miami Beach mini bar. I have NEVER in my life seen a hotel go to this extent to stock a room with items you will be triple charged for if you partake in them. Okay, the bar and snacks on the dresser....sure but the refrigerator was also stocked to the gills with wine, champagne, waters, beers, soda's. Even on the nightstands were additional waters. It was not until later I saw the 10.00 price tags on the bottle tops. It also took me a minute to discover the wine rack hanging on the wall with a price list attached. The cheapest of them being 75.00. This is why I LOVE LIQUOR should be your first stop. It certainly was mine and I took all of Surfcomber's stuff out of the fridge, put it in the corner and replaced it with my stuff for a fraction of the price. On our second night which was the 4th of July the air in our room stopped working. While we were out they sent someone up to check it out but by the time we resurfaced it was still not working. We were informed around midnight that it would not be able to be fixed during our stay and they wanted to move us to another room which was fine but it was late and we were drunk, tired and did not feel like packing so they gave us some fans. We moved in the morning and I discovered this room had a coffee maker. Our previous room did not. Kind of not fair. Sorry this has been a very long review so let me wrap it up by saying that while the rooms had their pros and cons the property itself is absolutely amazing!!! From the patio outside the front door (where I took my smoke breaks), the spacious lobby area, all the cozy nooks and crannies of seating arrangements, the restaurant, the bar, the meticulously landscaped covered walkway that you stroll to the pool, the private cabanas, the outdoor pool bar, the game area to the attentiveness of the staff and the overall resort feeling is why Surfcomber rates high in my book and I would stay there again. Also noted, the daily evening social hour with your choice of wines and an appetizer and the constant presence of a full, chilled water keg right at the back door where you come in from the pool area was always a welcome site because Miami is hot yall!!! The last thing worth mentioning is the incidentals hold fee they put on your bank account is hefty. On top of my regular hotel nightly charges they held 450.00 that was not returned to me until days after I got back home so keep that in mind. read more

We have stayed here 4 times over the years! We absolutely love the vibe and location. The music, the decor, the service is as good as it gets. I wish I could give it five stars, but the size of the beds are a disappointment every time. The hotel has small double beds! It's hard to imagine that Management hasn't figured this out yet. Hopefully this is something they're working on. read more

This is a pretty hotel on the beach side of Collins. The location is very good. We were down here with the kids because my husband was attending a conference at Loew's, and he didn't register in time to get a decent hotel room at Loew's. The Surfcomber is only 2.5 blocks from Loew's, so we ended up here. We had a one bedroom suite. It faced Collins Ave, so it was a bit loud, but it was huge, over 700 sq ft, which was helpful as both my husband and I had to do some work, and we had enough space to work in one room while the kids watched tv and played in the other room. I also liked that there were 1.5 bathrooms, very convenient when there are 4 people. The room was prettily decorated. The sofa bed had a surprisingly nice mattress, so the kids were comfortable and didn't even switch to our bed, the way they do when they have to sleep on standard pull out sofa beds. Our king bed was fine, although I thought the pillows were flat and unsupportive. The main bathroom was SMALL. I know this is an old, Art Deco hotel, and older hotels often have small bathrooms, but we had a bunch of empty space in between the bathroom and the closet that they could have expanded the bathroom into. Service was fine. There is daily housekeeping, but they are a bit understaffed, so I was told that if you leave up the "do not disturb" sign for any amount of time during the day, you run the risk of not having your room cleaned at all. The elevators were small and slow, but the hotel is only 3 stories tall, so we ended up taking the stairs most of the time. The hotel pool is beautiful and heated. There was poolside service. There's also a semi-private beach, which the kids enjoyed. Adult guests need to wear armbands to use the beach or pool. Parking is hefty ($48 for overnight guests, $35-40 for day use only). If you want save money, you could park at a public lot a few blocks away. The hotel restaurant is expensive, but there are a ton of restaurants within a few blocks, so I mostly left the hotel to eat. read more

The hotel wasn't great - We had trash in our windowsill and the bed looked like it had blood on it. We got multiple noise complaints when we were making zero noise (sounded like the room above us was yelling though). Regardless of the latter, wouldn't go back. Not worth the price. read more

I'm a paraplegic and use a wheelchair - the elevator was broken with the accessible room and i was placed in another room with a bathroom i cant fit my wheelchair in. the staff manager apologized but made no real effort in fixing the situation.

Was told it would be no problem to store my luggage for up to 2 hrs with the bell desk while I had breakfast at The Social Club. Went to drop off luggage after I checked in for breakfast and they wanted $80!! to hold the luggage while we ate. Would have paid $10 or $20 but not $80. So had to cancel breakfast, get a Lyft and to Cruise Terminal 3 hours early with no breakfast.... Surfcomber you suck!! read more

We stayed at the Kimpton for a 4day/3night stay right after Christmas. 4.5 but I'm rounding up because of the great staff.. Front Desk: Our reservation was a package deal through Booking.com and we had not check in issues. Ivanna was friendly and professional with getting us checked in. She got us set up with the hotel text messaging system: If we needed anything, just text the number and the staff took care of it immediately. We used it to request: more blankets, personal heater, and a late check out. They responded back to use immediately. Room: This is one of the older art deco hotels that line up and down south beach. The rooms were renovated well and clean. The bathroom was remodeled to a more contemporary style. The water pressure and heat were perfect. The heater didn't warm up the room as much as we wanted but not a big deal really. Flat screen was brand new and the remotes all worked Pool: The pool is well heated and they we were swimming in an outdoor pool in December. Fantastic. The staff was friendly and laid out your towels well for your lounge chairs. We kept ordering drinks and good throughout all our pool visits and they kept up. It's a nice relaxing scene at the pool here at the Kimpton The Social Club: This is the restaurant/full bar located in the lobby at the Kimpton. It's a nice option for a quick bite or drink. I'll write a separate Yelp review to give it kudos but know that we enjoyed our meals and drinks there. Location Location Location: Located on Collins avenue and the location is primo. Everything is within walking distance: Lincoln Road Mall, Espanola way, and of course the beach is right behind the hotel. SLS is their hotel neighbor if you're feeling fancy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kimpton this past trip. We would definitely consider stay here again next time we're in South Beach. Cheers! read more

Had the best stay at this hotel for my bachelorette! Hotel staff was very accommodating and friendly. They also had programming such as yoga and salsa dancing at the pool which was fun. The pool was clean and not rowdy like some of the neighboring hotels & the beach had umbrellas & chairs (2 chairs per room). The beach access is just beyond the pool and you do not need to cross a roadway. I really liked the outdoor space leading to the pool - it has very lush greenery and was beautiful to walk through daily. The hotel is also very centrally located & you can walk to many of the hot spots on Miami Beach from it! Definitely stay here! read more

We recently spent four nights at the Kimpton including Christmas Eve/Christmas Day. Our room was a little on the small side, but very comfortable. The staff was polite and attentive throughout our stay. I offer a special thank you to those staff members that had to work through the holiday so my family could enjoy ours. The hotel is conveniently located near much of the strips shopping, dining and nightlife. While being in a very busy area on the outside, the inside is very quiet. The pool is a lush area with attentive wait staff. The pool was warm as was the ocean just behind the facility. There's on-site valet service which is pretty much a necessity in Miami Beach. Be prepared to be hit with an additional $50 per day to cover parking costs. Kimpton is a quality place to stay in the heart of all Miami Beach has to offer. read more

Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel - Merry Christmas from Miami Beach - Hotels Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Hello I recently stayed at the Surfcomber Hotel in Miami, Fl. from 6/15 - 6/19 2023. My room had mold in the ceiling and the carpet. It rained 3 of the 4 days I stayed. The ceiling leaked so bad that I had to use the trash cans to catch the water from the ceiling. The room should have been put out of service. If I had known my room would have that much water. Then I would have bought my goldfish on vacation to go swimming also. After bringing it to management attention there was no urgency to resolve the matter or compensate me for any inconvenience. I would recommend staying at this hotel. read more

This review is for a stay in January 2020. So, I was here for Super Bowl weekend. A lot of the reviews here talk about the restaurant, bar, and pool. I was here for a private party at the hotel, which was great, but I didnt really use any of those facilities. This review is about the lobby, guest service, room and hotel grounds. Valet / Lobby / Guest Service: Ok, so this valet parking only, like lots of hotels in Miami Beach. during the weekend I was here, valet parking cost $46 a night + tax, which I didnt see anywhere on the hotel website. I consider it highway robbery, but I have been charged similar rates at downtown hotels. Valet is a little slow, but the hotel has them doing bell duty also. **Shout-out to Julian Kabbir Jimenez Salazar who was an excellent bellman / valet. The exterior provides a Ok, so this a smaller, older building. Miami Beach is super crowded, so lots of the hotels have tiny lobbies. This one is no different. The Room. Considering the price, (it was about $1200 a night for the 2020 Superbowl, but normally about $200), I expected a bit more. The room was smallish, especially as we got a double room. The room was nicely appointed, but the double room really was 2 double beds. Generally in America, you expect 2 Queen-sized beds or at least 2 full-sized beds. Pool area. The pool area is great, with an entrance to the beach/boardwalk. Great hang out and Instagram spot. Location. The hotel sits an easy walking distance to lots of shopping and restaurants, and the hotel even offers beach cruiser bicycles to its patrons. read more
