Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel Review | Hotels Above Par
"A four-star, boutique beachfront property on Collins Avenue that balances Miami Beach’s high-energy party scene with genuine pockets of calm for rest and relaxation. The rooms embrace casual Miami style—pops of turquoise, orange, and blush pink, light woods, and wave-inspired patterns—offering sleek, modern, no-frills accommodations that are kept clean (though housekeeping can be sporadic, the front desk is responsive and helpful with towels, water, and other needs). The lobby’s floor-to-ceiling windows lead into a lush courtyard and a fountain-capped pool that stretches toward a sandy alternate entrance to High Tide Beach Bar and Grill, while the main restaurant, The Social Club, features a lively bar and outdoor Mediterranean fare such as lamb carpaccio and lobster-and-scallop ceviche; there is also a surprisingly robust room-service menu. On-site programming is plentiful—sunset cocktail hours, Super Bowl watch parties, and other social events—yet the layout and grounds make it easy to find quiet spots to read, nap, or sunbathe; outdoor areas can also be rented for private events. Amenities include valet parking, pool and beach access, bicycle rentals, a spa, laundry service, dog-friendly policies, and a gym currently under construction. With 186 rooms and competitive off-season rates (rooms starting around $152/night in summer offseason), it’s positioned as an alternative to oversized, party-focused resorts for travelers who want to be in the heart of the action but still feel rested and rejuvenated; the closest major airport is Miami International Airport (MIA)."
