Quick Verdict: InterContinental Miami vs W Miami

When InterContinental Miami wins: Choose InterContinental if you need large event space, more rooms, waterfront views, a bigger spa, or a hotel that doubles as a downtown business hub.

When W Miami wins: Choose W Miami if you want a smaller, design-forward Brickell address within easy walking distance of Brickell City Centre and nightlife, or a more intimate, lifestyle-focused stay.

Bottom line: Both are five-star downtown choices — InterContinental is the bigger, bayfront, event-and-spa property; W Miami is the compact, Brickell lifestyle alternative for guests who prioritize neighborhood access and a trendier hotel feel.

Location: Downtown bayfront vs Brickell

InterContinental Miami – Location

InterContinental Miami sits on the Biscayne Bay waterfront across from Bayfront Park, anchoring downtown Miami.

  • Direct access to Bayfront Park and the Metromover (free downtown people-mover).
  • Short ride to Bayside Marketplace, the Port of Miami, and cultural museums.
  • Good choice if you want quick access to cruise terminals or downtown convention venues.

Choose InterContinental for bay views and immediate access to downtown waterfront attractions.

W Miami – Location

W Miami is located on Brickell Avenue, within easy walking distance of Brickell City Centre and the Riverwalk.

  • About a 4-minute walk to Brickell City Centre for shopping and restaurants.
  • Close to Brickell’s bars, cafés and evening scene.
  • Easier pedestrian access to Brickell offices and neighborhood nightlife than the bayfront core.

Choose W Miami for a Brickell-first location and quick access to neighborhood shops and nightlife.

Rooms: Scale and room count

InterContinental Miami – Rooms

InterContinental is a large property with a wide range of room types and suites.

  • 652 total rooms across 34 floors, including many bay- and skyline-view Classic Rooms and multiple suite tiers.
  • Club Lounge access rooms and multiple room types for different group sizes.
  • Room amenities include complimentary Wi‑Fi, minibars, and in-room workspaces.

If you need many room types or suites and flexibility for groups, InterContinental is the larger option.

W Miami – Rooms

W Miami is a smaller hotel with a tighter room inventory and a lifestyle orientation.

  • 146 guestrooms with standard lifestyle fittings (minibar, LCD TV, complimentary Wi‑Fi).
  • Some rooms have restricted balcony access during façade restoration; view may be partial for affected rooms.
  • Smaller inventory tends to feel more intimate than downtown mega-hotels.

W Miami suits travelers who prefer a compact, design-focused hotel in Brickell rather than a large downtown tower.

Dining & drinks: More outlets vs a single on-site restaurant

InterContinental Miami – Dining & drinks

InterContinental offers multiple dining venues for different moods and meals.

  • Toro Toro (Pan‑Latin steakhouse) for dinner and private dining.
  • Olé serves daily breakfast; Bluewater serves poolside fare and cocktails.
  • Freddy’s Speakeasy is a reservation-only cocktail lounge for evenings.

InterContinental gives more on-site dining variety without leaving the hotel.

W Miami – Dining & drinks

W Miami has a single on-site restaurant and bar and a paid breakfast option.

  • One main restaurant and bar on property; full breakfast is available for a surcharge.
  • Lobby-level service and quick access to Brickell restaurants and bars nearby.
  • Concierge can point you to Brickell City Centre options a short walk away.

If you plan to eat out in Brickell, W Miami’s location makes that easy; for on-site variety, InterContinental is stronger.

Pools & signature amenity: Rooftop pool experiences

InterContinental Miami – Pools & signature amenity

InterContinental’s signature rooftop pool and SkyLawn are major draws for guests and events.

  • Outdoor rooftop pool on the 5th floor with cabanas and Bluewater poolside service.
  • SkyLawn rooftop greenspace can host events and offers bay and skyline views.
  • Pool hours and DJ events are published (typical pool hours 10:00 AM–6:00 PM).

W Miami – Pools & signature amenity

W Miami has a rooftop/onsite pool suited to a Brickell lifestyle stay.

  • Onsite pool with wheelchair access and pool-level service.
  • Poolside dining and drink service via the rooftop/café venue.
  • Smaller, more intimate pool atmosphere compared with a large downtown rooftop.

W Miami’s pool is a neighborhood rooftop amenity that matches its boutique scale.

Wellness & nightlife: Spa, fitness and evening options

InterContinental Miami – Wellness & nightlife

InterContinental combines a ranked spa, a 24-hour fitness center, and an established hotel bar scene.

  • mySpa is named #1 Spa in Miami on TripAdvisor with 10 treatment rooms, sauna and steam room.
  • 24-hour fitness center for anytime workouts.
  • Freddy’s Speakeasy and Toro Toro Bar provide late-evening cocktail options onsite.

Pick InterContinental if spa treatments and on-site evening venues are a priority.

  • On-site spa (name not published) and fitness amenities available to guests.
  • Multilingual staff and 24-hour front desk support guest needs around the clock.
  • Short walks take you into Brickell’s bar and nightlife scene.

W Miami is convenient for guests who plan to use neighborhood nightlife and want a hotel spa and fitness offering at a smaller scale.
