I stayed 4 nights for a business trip.
I had a great double room, and the bathroom was great: really spacious.

I had business in Brickell, so I was within walking distance. The complimentary happy hour was great, and a perfect end to the work day.

The other reviewers are correct, there is a car show out front every day, and luxury yachts docked alongside the lobby.

The spa and the restaurants were great on site, but room service is limited in variety.

I would have given the Hotel a 5 except on my first morning there I had a wake up call to my room at 6am, and I had not ordered a wake up call. I'm not unreasonable, mistakes happen. I explained to the gentleman some what groggily as I had only checked in some 6 hours previously, that I had not ordered the call. He apologized, and I fell asleep again. Only to be awoken 20 minutes later by the same man, with my 6:20am wake up call!

I can forgive one mistake, but not two. I didn't bother bringing it to management's attention, I just took it as a sign to get up and go to the gym.

But it did leave me with an unprofessional feeling about the staff.

We stayed one night before our cruise and to be honest in hindsight I would have rather stayed at the Epic than go on the cruise....but that is another review in itself :) I loved the room, it was clean and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was really nice with double sinks and an amazing overhead rain shower head. My only complaint would be that the bed sheets were not soft enough. The staff was helpful and friendly and quickly upgraded our room upon realizing the one they sent us to was not ready. I would definitely recommend and return!

The Epic has some great amenities. They have a wine reception every evening and coffee and tea available in lobby each morning. We ate dinner in the restaurant on the 14th floor. The inside area was way too noisy. We asked to be seated outside and it was much better (ask to be seated by a heat lamp). Food was good, not great. There is no gift shop in the hotel but there is a CVS pharmacy two blocks away. There is also a nice walk/run you can take out of the hotel and around Brickell point. The hotel is very modern looking with sleek lines and very clean. We did have room service which was prompt and good. The staff was always willing to help and direct. I took the yoga class in the spa and it was fairly hard. I have been doing yoga for a few years and we travel a lot. Usually yoga classes in hotels are geared for the guests and aren't too hard. This class had a lot of locals in it and was pretty hard (level 2 plus). So, if you are new to yoga you might want to pass. I was ready for an easy class and had to amp up my energy level! Anyway, it's a nice hotel and we would stay here again.

I would love to give the Epic 5 stars but I just can't. Not yet. I would return here again in a second, though. I stayed for one night and had wonderful service from housekeeping and valet. Thank you Housekeeping for cleaning my clothes last minute. The rooms are great and I had one with a wraparound balcony on Biscayne Bay. It was fantastic. Heard the planes land at Miami Intl and it sounded like they were landing on the roof.
Why not 5...Front Desk was a bit standoffish as was the restaurant hostess. When I checked out, they had one Front Desk agent and about 15 valet attendants.
The hotel is not in South Beach but a wonderful area with tons to do.
I love Kimpton but am hoping they can improve here to 5 star level.
