Suite, 2 Bedrooms, Balcony, Bay View

The suite has a private balcony with views over Biscayne Bay and toward downtown Miami. Mondrian South Beach sits on West Avenue on the bayside of South Beach, so the outlook is the water and the skyline rather than the Atlantic. The floor-to-ceiling light and open feel of the interiors make the most of that view.

The suite has two queen beds and sleeps up to 4 guests. That suits two couples, friends travelling together, or a family. Premium bedding, Egyptian cotton sheets, a down comforter and blackout drapes are provided. A rollaway bed is available for a surcharge, and a crib is free.

The suite measures 1,270 sq. ft. and gives you generous living space, a dedicated bedroom area and a desk with a chair for working. It is climate-controlled, with a microwave, refrigerator and minibar. That makes it well suited to a longer stay, when you want to eat or work in the room.

The private bathroom has a rainfall showerhead and a hand-held showerhead. It comes with bathrobes, plush towels, designer toiletries and a hair dryer. For accessibility, there is a grab bar in the shower (36 inches high), a grab bar near the toilet (34 inches high) and a visual fire alarm.

Guests receive complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, a welcome glass of champagne on arrival, poolside chaise lounges and towels, kayaks and paddleboards, fitness center access and weekly wellness classes. Complimentary beach cruisers are free for the first 2 hours, and brewed coffee is served from 7 to 10 am. The hotel charges a mandatory daily resort fee, which bundles amenities such as Wi-Fi, poolside amenities, bike rentals and spa and fitness access. Daily newspapers are also provided.

The hotel faces the bay, so the nearest ocean beach is about an eight-minute drive away. On site you have a bayfront pool with lounge chairs, hammocks and cabanas that can be reserved. There is also Baia Beach Club, a poolside Mediterranean restaurant, and a fitness center that is open 24 hours. Pool access can require a reservation even for hotel guests, so it is worth asking at the front desk when you arrive.

Mondrian South Beach is primarily adult-oriented but welcomes children of all ages. This suite's two queen beds, kitchen-style conveniences and free crib work well for families, and its bay views and space suit couples. The pool atmosphere is relaxed and adult, and staff may discourage disruptive play there. The spa is adults-only (18+). The hotel has a lively bar and weekend pool parties, so expect some energy around the public areas.

Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. The reservation holder must be at least 21 and show a photo ID and credit card. A refundable damage or incidental deposit is collected at check-in. Valet parking is $46 per night with in-and-out privileges, and an EV charging station is on site. Pets of 20 pounds or less are welcome with a $100 non-refundable deposit, though they are not allowed at the pool, beach, restaurants or bars.

Miami International Airport is roughly 17 to 22 minutes by car, longer in heavy traffic. A taxi typically costs about $30 to $40. The free Miami Beach Trolley and rideshare make it easy to get around South Beach without renting a car.
