Hotel Review: Kimpton Epic Miami

[@Curly_Jay]

I stayed at this hotel last May 2019 and it was amazing 😍 The view of Miami from my balcony was incredible, and the pool was super fun. I'm definitely excited to go back to Miami and stay at the Epic hotel 🌴☀️🌴🐚😍

[@VoyagerGuru]

Omg so nice!! The balconies really are amazing here. I can’t wait to return as well! Thanks for your comment! Stay safe ❤️

[@Curly_Jay]

Voyager Guru Yes I totally agree ☺️ Also, you both did an amazing review of the hotel!! Thank you 🙏🏼, and you all stay safe as well❤️❤️

Hey guys! Thanks for watching :). We absolutely love Miami and had such a blast working with the Kimpton EPIC hotel. Let us know what you think!

[@mdinero6205]

Very helpful, thank you a lot I’m taking a trip and this is the exact room I booked :-)

Hello! Thanks so much for your comment :) That sounds awesome!! Let us know if you like it!

[@lmjc1593]

Many hotels actually have different levels of service (in a 3 day cycle) for extended stay guests…. I would just confirm that they were following their internal housekeeping plan.

[@VoyagerGuru]

While I’m sure that’s true, five star hotels should have consistent cleaning practices every day of a guest stay. Consistent daily cleaning should include the bare necessities like fresh towels, replacing used items like toiletries, wiping down surfaces etc. Above and beyond would include things like organizing guest toiletries onto a white towel or cloth, wrapping charging cables etc

i feel like when doing a location like Miami … a more in-depth look at the pool is important. is it heated? hours? what kind of scene - family friendly, young college/20’s, adult etc etc

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hi Chris, thank you so much for the feedback! We will absolutely take that into account on our next city property :).

Hi, great vlog! do they do a buffett breakfast at the hotel? Thanks x

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hey Michelle! Thanks for your comment :)! They don't do a buffet that I know of, but they do serve brunch. Their food was great, but honestly, their dinner was better than breakfast. that being said, there are a lot of INCREDIBLE restaurants in the neighborhood right around the hotel :). Let me know if you have any other questions!

@@VoyagerGuru thank you so much. I'm trying to find a hotel, not really bothered where in Miami. It's for a pre cruise stay in March for 2 nights, please let me know if you csn think of anywhere. Any advice on what to do whilst there would be very much appreciated, thanks 🙂

[@VoyagerGuru]

@@michelleuk4788 awesome!! Miami is a great city. The EPIC is a great location, easy to get to the cruise terminals. As is Intercontinental - just a touch closer. Overall, you can get a great rate at EPIC and we had a fabulous time there. South Beach will probably have a bit more traffic so if it's just a stopover, I would stick to the downtown area.

[@VoyagerGuru]

@@michelleuk4788 Oh and with activities- do the culinary tour of little havana (www.miamiculinarytours.com/tour/little-havana-food-tour) that was literally the MOST FUN we have had in a long time and so educational. Definitely recommend a drink at Juvia in South Beach - its incredible to see that view and the cocktails are great

[@michelleuk4788]

@@VoyagerGuru omg thank you Soooooooo much, really appreciate your help will definitely check out that trip. One more question, sorry! Ideally we like a Buffett breakfast at the hotel, do you know of any hotels with a decent buffet breakfast or cafes/restaurants? We dont really like a sit down breakfast as we like to pick at a few things! Any help appreciated, Thank you

[@lucasstames5940]

I booked 4 nights at the Cafilac hotel and canceled my three nights at SLS brickel so I can stay at the Epic. The views of the miami River is so Epic. How would you rate a miami get away at epic bs Fontain bleau

[@VoyagerGuru]

EPIC is amazing- gorgeous property, nice new rooms -- Fontainebleau is also truly spectacular. I will say, if you're looking to be right in the middle of the "action", Miami Beach is really tough to beat. EPIC is downtown so there's less going on at night as it is more business-focused. However, it is a close drive to south beach and also to little havana. It kind of depends what you are looking for in your trip. Let me know what your plans are and I can recommend something more specifically :)

[@lucasstames5940]

@@VoyagerGuru hay thank you for your time once again

[@priscillajiron8866]

have u guys stayed at the intercontinental in miami what do you think compared to the kimpton

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hey Priscilla! Great question! We have not stayed there yet, but it’s super close to the EPIC and they have some amazing views. I’d say location wise, they’re about the same. EPIC just did a major renovation which really made a huge difference. I think the intercon is a bit more of a business hotel than EPIC. Also Kimpton has a great free wine and cheese hour for guests which is a huge plus 👍🏼. Let us know what you decide!

[@prettyE31]

How do you get to a beach??

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hi Rica! Thank you for your comment! Epic is about 20 minutes from south beach so the easiest way to get there is a taxi. It’s also about 20-30 minutes from a number of other smaller beaches. If you’re looking for a beachfront hotel let me know and I can recommend some :). Epic is pretty close to little Havana and is more in a business district.

[@prettyE31]

@@VoyagerGuru thank you so much for replying. I’m not sure I feel comfortable going to that beach, I was planning on checking out Crandon Beach. Seems to be a little crazy. Does Epic have bicycles you can rent?

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hey! I totally understand - it can be quite a scene!! They did not offer complimentary bikes during either of our stays, but I am sure they could arrange something for you that would be paid. They also have electric scooters all over Miami that you can pay for on an app (Uber) and scoot around town :)
