This classic Miami resort has had a number of updates, with nice rooms and accommodations. The pool can get loud and hectic on the weekends, feels like Vegas a bit. Beach is beautiful friendly service

A fly-by of the Fontainebleau Resort was used at the beginning of Goldfinger (1964) as an establishing shot. Sadly the scenes with Bond and Goldfinger were filmed using back-projection in the studio. Read more

Book the Island Cabana located at the center of the Round Pool and be the center of La Côte’s - the poolside restaurant - attention. http://bachelor10.com/venue/515/miami/fontainebleau

The party is still going strong at the Fontainebleau, a best of Miami landmark. The 3,700-square-meter spa and more subdued Sorrento and Tresor pools provide a respite. Read more

Junior suites are great if you can get a deal. Extremely comfortable beds. Very clubby at night.

Hands down one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at! Service was incredible. I felt like a movie star! We had a great view. The only hotel I will stay at while in Miami.

With a nod to the glamorous, high-flying heydays of its original 1954 incarnate, this resort remains opulent & flashy. Its megaclub, LIV, draws crowds to see DJ's like Calvin Harris, Tiesto, and more. Read more

Hands down one of the best hotel. There is everything at FB no need to go anywhere when you stay at FB. Great restaurants, best nightclub and the ocean is steps away 💕

Huge place. It's a lot of fun. We had an issue and it was resolved beautifully. Staying here from now on because the Mondrian has gone downhill. And this place has a beach.

Poolside bar us great! Go see Charlie or Ismael!! Everyone has been super nice and great drinks.. Service is great overall.. Inside restaurants Meh..

Ask for the upgrade to Sorrento Tower when checking in (it's most recently renovated). Hit the poolside chairs by 9am during holiday weekends and buy the robe at Lapis.

This place is the other half of the Fontainebleau lobby, a glowing aqua and purple den of drink where you'll spot big-shot business guys and local TV celebs. Read more

Lovely place. Near to the beach 🏝 and awesome spaces to eat, shop, have fun, sunbathe and sleep.
Julio PatiñoApril 12, 2016
Beautiful hotel, pool, and mostly beautiful people. best nightclub in Miami inside too. The best of everything or close to it, if you can afford it.

Making a move from the charmingly retro Deauville Beach Resort way uptown to the high-gloss Fontainebleau marks a big shift for the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) fair, focused on younger galleries. Read more

Very nice swimming pools and beach. Rooms are specious and relaxing especially the one with Bay view

Gorgeous hotel with awesome lobby bar to grab drinks in before going to LIV!
Brian LoganApril 27, 2015
The FedEx Office Business Center is really good. The employees are very helpful. They're also kind. For guests their service is open 24/7. They open at 7AM as well. I recommend.
Panos TzivanidisApril 18, 2017
A place rich in history. Very nice pools & access to the beach but everything is over priced (fame comes with a price). Main building hotel rooms (Chateau) very basic & tired but spacious.

Great view and nice staff. The pools are nice and clean. The restaurants serve delicious food. One con: it's not near the city center.
PaoloJuly 8, 2013
Big weekends at FB mean tons of people. Be sure to get your beach chairs early, and for the sun-adverse, get your umbrellas in the morning.
KevinAugust 18, 2019
Love this resort! WiFi had major connectivity issues, but everything else was great - love the pools, beach access, nightclub, and food!

Bling is beautiful at the Fontainebleau. Sofas curve round marble columns, chandeliers drip from the ceiling, and the famous ‘staircase to nowhere’ winds round a gilded wall Read more

Just a few minutes north of South Beach, the Fontainebleau remains one of the best known historic luxury resorts of Miami. LIV nightclub calls the building home, and is a MUST for anyone visiting.

This hotel is spectacular.. The private beach is to die for.. The only thing is that the restaurants are extremely expensives and there's no restaurants close that you could walk to

If you want a great meal and romantic then eat at scarpetta. Have the polenta with truffle mushrooms, it is so good.

The legendary Fontainebleau is as glamourous as ever. It's home to LIV - a top global night club. Restaurants satisfy hardcore foodies & the 11 acre pool show visitors how Miami plays.

My favorite place to stay in Miami. Upscale, luxurious and full of rich history.
Sara BabiarzJune 25, 2013
For some reason, this massive Vegas-like resort doesn't do it for me in Miami. You just have to stay in a boutique Art Deco hotel on the beach!

If you're in Miami, don't leave without visiting their mega-club LIV. Hot people. Insane Events. Arrive before midnight to skip the lines and maybe even cover charge.
Magic WakameJanuary 15, 2012
Of you like bling bling and music that's the place. If you like hotels as big and unpersonal as you can imagine that's the place ...
Ron HoOctober 15, 2011
Fancy place to stay right by the beach at Miami. Bar gets crowded on a Friday night, with a good party crowd. Feels like W Hotel !
Lida WangDecember 11, 2016
Nice hotel, super big and cozy rooms - very good option in south beach.
Andy GuinigundoOctober 29, 2014
Great restaurants. Pool. Rooms have their very own iMac! Comfy beds.
Miami New TimesNovember 21, 2010
The legendary Fontainebleau is still as glitzy and glamourous as ever - cocktails at Bleau Bar, lounge poolside or at La Cote, dinner at Hakassan or Scarpetta - and party all night at LIV.
AmateurConciergeMarch 22, 2023
Think “mid 00s Las Vegas hotel” but that is just a tad underinvested in Maintenance and then, ya know, Miami people working there.
William HerreraNovember 21, 2010
Fabulous Hotel, Glamorous and chic, after check-in my girls (8-9) wanted to go back to the room to change into something fancy, (This is not a hotel for kids they said to me..). Service is top notch

Fancy lobby, great bakery inside! Try the key lime pie that looks like a flipflop
Bobby RemisFebruary 15, 2020
“Upgraded” to Tresor tower which doesn’t live up to the marketing and imagery featured on the website. Slow WiFi. Property is so large is feels chaotic. Pool areas are pretty (but busy).
