Mayfair House Hotel & Garden

1 / 10

The takeaway

For travelers drawn to Coconut Grove rather than beachfront Miami, Mayfair House pairs unusually expressive architecture with balcony rooms and a rooftop social scene.

About the hotel

In Coconut Grove, across from the shops and restaurants of CocoWalk, Mayfair House Hotel & Garden is a 179-room hotel built around planted spaces and a distinctive 1985 design by Kenneth Treister. Reopened in September 2022 after a redesign by Goodrich, it retains an architectural character that sets it apart from a conventional Miami high-rise. Individually styled rooms have balconies, while the rooftop pool, Sipsip rum bar and garden-level dining give guests several ways to spend time on the property.

Choose it if

You want CocoWalk’s shops and restaurants directly across the street.
You favor individually styled rooms with balconies over standardized hotel interiors.
You would use a rooftop pool and rum bar without making the beach the center of your stay.

What real people are saying.

Reddit excerpts · separate from Rex’s editorial judgment

One commenter describes Mayfair House as a longstanding choice for a nicer stay, with a central location that makes it easy to get around on foot. That walkability is the clearest reason offered for choosing it.

Discussion is limited; these accounts offer a glimpse rather than a broad verdict.

“For a nicer place, the Mayfair House has been a go-to for decades. You’re in the center of everything and can easily walk anywhere.”

The Vineta Hotel

Palm Beach, United States

CityHistoric

Opened in 1926 as Lido-Venice, the landmark later carried the Vineta name before becoming The Chesterfield; its restoration revives that earlier identity in a Mediterranean Revival building. Two blocks from Worth Avenue and a short walk from the beach, it puts guests near Palm Beach’s shopping and dining district rather than directly on the shore. Coco, the bar and a courtyard form the hotel’s social core, while the rooms use a light, blue-and-white island palette.

City352 roomsPool

EAST Miami occupies a high-rise within Brickell City Centre, the mixed-use complex in Miami’s financial district. Its 352 accommodations comprise hotel rooms and suites alongside residence suites; the latter add a more apartment-like option within the hotel. The experience is distinctly urban: four outdoor pools sit on a shared deck, while Sugar, a garden-style rooftop bar, looks out over the city and Biscayne Bay from the 40th floor. Quinto anchors the hotel’s South American dining.

The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami

Bal Harbour, United States

BeachCoastal

On Bal Harbour’s northern tip, this waterfront resort occupies a site between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Its defining draw is a low-key coastal setting rather than Miami’s busier beachfront districts. The property is undergoing a transformation and plans to welcome guests again starting in January 2027. The hotel says the next chapter will bring redesigned guest rooms and suites, a chef-led signature restaurant, a members club, and an elevated spa and wellness offering.
