After a three-hour drive from Sarasota, I arrived at Loews Miami Beach Hotel. Upon arrival, I was kindly greeted by the valet team who directed me, as they were quite busy with arrivals and departures. I was impressed with how well they handled the busy crowd and the several vehicles coming and going. I happened to be visiting during the FIFA World Cup, when the hotel and Miami were quite busy with excited fans.

Walking into the lively and elegant lobby felt like an immersive experience. Everything was aesthetically pleasing, from the light fixtures to the white floors. I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful bar, where many guests were enjoying drinks while watching the World Cup.

After admiring the décor and taking in the atmosphere, I made my way to the front desk for check-in. I was then greeted and checked in by Valery, who provided a friendly and welcoming experience. She was so kind and personable, it felt like I was speaking to a new friend!

As I walked into my king suite, I found warm tones of ambient lighting behind the bed frame and around the mounted TV. Light music played, adding to my warm welcome. My room followed the modern elegance the lobby set with a light coastal color scheme. A large area rug underneath the bed pulled the room together, giving it a cozy feel. A large chair next to the balcony gave me a great place to enjoy my tasty room service. It was just as comfortable as it looked! My suite also offered balcony space with two patio chairs to enjoy the stunning view of the cabanas and Miami Beach. I, sadly, didn’t get a chance to enjoy either because of my eventful evening.

The bathroom was truly lavish as it offered a large, spotless, white marble countertop offering plenty of space to freshen up or unwind for the night. The lighting was superb as light fixtures were found on both sides of the large mirror. I enjoyed the small adjustable mirror attached to the wall when finalizing my look.

I enjoyed room service upon arrival, as I had skipped lunch and had an event later on in the evening. After reviewing the menu, I decided to order a go-to classic. Shortly, my crispy buffalo chicken wings arrived by cart on a white table cloth. The service was swift, and the meal was the perfect amount for my busy evening ahead.

The next morning I decided to enjoy breakfast at Preston’s Market before making my way back to the Gulf Coast. The staff kindly offered to watch my luggage at the host stand while I enjoyed breakfast. Preston’s Market offers buffet or à la carte options. I decided on the à la carte option and ordered a tasty omelet with meat and veggies. I paired my omelet with crispy potatoes and an iced coffee, making it the perfect start to my day.

My stay at Loews Miami Beach Hotel was short and sweet. I look forward to my next visit and enjoying everything this stunning property has to offer!
