Kimpton EPIC Hotel

EPIC is a luxurious Downtown hotel that attracts a mix of business professionals and leisure travelers who want a trendy atmosphere away from the South Beach scene. A unique feature that the hotel offers is a goldfish bowl at the front desk, providing a pet goldfish for guests who want a companion during their stay.

EPIC is located on the very tip of Downtown. The hotel is in the bustling business of the city, and at night it is near some of the best restaurants and bars in town. While a Whole Foods grocery store is a short walk away, outside of the business meeting locations, most popular destinations require a drive away from the hotel. Right on the water, the hotel is a five-minute drive to Brickell Key and Coconut Grove. Coral Gables, SoBe, and the beach are also short drives depending on traffic.

The EPIC hotel isn’t near a beach, but guests find plenty of activity around the 16th-floor swimming pools. Pool service is provided at both pools and guests can rent cabanas for more privacy. Other relaxing spots are the Exhale Spa and fitness center. The 16th floor also offers an upscale seafood restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The second trendy restaurant is on the main level offering Japanese inspired food. A swanky bar with live music and seating along the water can be found at Lilt Lounge. Business facilities and meeting spaces are also available.

Comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms, and furnished balconies draw guests in regardless of the corporate, bland décor. Rooms and suites begin on the 18th floor up to the 30th floor, guaranteeing an amazing view of Biscayne Bay or downtown towers. Room types vary, but all offer modern conveniences.
