Practicalities: reservations, access and local context
Mondrian South Beach sits at 1100 West Ave on Biscayne Bay rather than the Atlantic side; the nearest ocean beach is a short drive away and the hotel is within walking distance of some South Beach attractions such as Flamingo Park and the Art Deco District.
Pool and cabana reservations, spa bookings and water-sport availability can change with occupancy and events. Confirm reservations and any guest policies with the front desk or concierge on arrival.
- Address: 1100 West Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139
- Nearest ocean beach is not directly in front of the hotel; allow a short drive or a longer walk to Atlantic beaches
- Front-desk phone for BookResorts agents (24/7): +1 (888) 605-1350
| Nearby | Approximate access |
|---|---|
| Flamingo Park | Short walk |
| Lincoln Road Mall / Art Deco District | Within walking/driving distance |
| Miami International Airport (MIA) | Most sources cite roughly 10–11 miles; drive times vary with traffic |
