Classic Room, Bay View (Partial Bay View)

This room has a partial view of Biscayne Bay. The hotel sits on the downtown Miami waterfront at 100 Chopin Plaza, so you get a glimpse of the bay and the waterfront setting rather than a full panorama. The Port of Miami is only about 3,600 feet away.

You can choose 1 King or 2 Queen Beds, and the room sleeps up to 4 guests in 403 sq. ft. A rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge. It works well for one or two guests who want space to spread out, and for a small group travelling together.

The room has a private bathroom with a bathtub or shower, a grab bar in the shower, and bathrobes. It also has a hair dryer, towels, and complimentary toiletries including shampoo and soap. A phone accessibility kit is available on request.

There is a 40-inch flat-screen TV with satellite and premium channels, first-run and pay movies, and an iPod dock. You also get a coffee and tea maker, a minibar, complimentary bottled water and 24-hour room service. Free WiFi is offered throughout the hotel, and there is wired internet in the room. Nightly turndown service and air conditioning are included, and blackout drapes help you sleep.

Olé, the lobby restaurant, serves a breakfast buffet and à la carte dishes daily from 7am to 11am. Toro Toro is Chef Richard Sandoval's Pan-Latin steakhouse, and Bluewater is the rooftop pool bar and cafe. Freddy's Speakeasy is a small, reservation-only cocktail lounge open Thursday to Saturday. There is also a Starbucks in the lobby.

The rooftop pool is on the 5th-floor terrace overlooking Biscayne Bay and the skyline, with hours of 10am to 6pm and private cabanas you can reserve. mySpa has 10 treatment rooms plus a steam room, sauna and drench showers, and offers signature treatments such as the Champagne Mud Wrap. The fitness center is open 24 hours.

The hotel is steps from Bayfront Park, and the Bayfront Park Metromover station, which is free to ride, is across the street. Bayside Marketplace is about a 12-minute walk. Miami's beaches, including South Beach, are within easy reach of the downtown waterfront location, and the Perez Art Museum, Frost Science museum and Adrienne Arsht Center are nearby.

There is no complimentary shuttle, but the concierge can arrange private airport or Port of Miami transfers by request. PortMiami is about a 5-minute drive, with a cab fare of around $14 each way.
