EAST, Miami

EAST, Miami was designed by Arquitectonica, who are known for their use of bio geometry and Feng Shui. This luxury resort was built in 2015 and is geared toward adult travelers. Conveniently located in the heart of Brickell City Centre, your family and friends will have direct access to numerous shopping and dining options. Everything about EAST, Miami screams “high-tech,” from the elevators with touch screens to the lighting system in the condos. Start each morning with a visit to Domain, the lobby cafe, for an espresso beverage by Panther Coffee and a breakfast pastry, or try the resort’s daily continental breakfast. After you eat, make a pit stop at your condo for your swimsuit and sunscreen before hitting the twenty-thousand square-foot pool deck. Take your pick of the outdoor lap pool, spa pool or cold plunge pool (or try all three!) The resort has a poolside food and beverage service. Once you’ve had your fill of the pools, order a refreshing cocktail and grab a lounge chair. There’s no need to worry about missing your daily workout thanks to the resort’s fitness center, BEAST (Body by East). It’s so much more than your average hotel gym. It features fitness equipment by Technogym, resistance machines, and free weights. If you need guidance during your workout, the resort will be happy to arrange for a personal trainer. Hungry? Check out the on-site Uruguayan Restaurant, Quinto La Huella. Spend the evening at Sugar, the resort’s rooftop bar. Mingle with other guests, enjoy delicious cocktails and check out the amazing view of the city.

Modern one to three-bedroom condos sleep two to six guests and are soundproofed. All condos are air-conditioned. Take advantage of EAST, Miami’s smartphone app for keyless condo entry, dining reservations, and general resort information. Walk-in rain showers and in-suite espresso makers with Panther Coffee make getting out of bed that much easier. Prepare basic meals in the fully equipped kitchenette (with wine fridge!) or order room service. When it comes to in-suite entertainment, EAST, Miami has you covered. Watch the big game on the 50 inch Samsung 4K television, or grab a bottle of wine and gather the crew for movie night, the televisions have pay movies. Don’t forget the popcorn! In-suite washer/dryers allow you to pack less and save room in your suitcase for souvenirs. But wait, there’s more: the resort is pet-friendly.
