About this hotel
Kimpton EPIC Hotel is Brickell's most compelling boutique option — two rooftop pools with Miami River marina and city skyline views, the Kimpton service ethos (free evening wine hour, no resort fees, pet-friendly), and an 8.9 guest score at a price point well below comparable beach hotels.
Kimpton EPIC makes a strong case for Brickell over South Beach for travelers who don't need the beach as their primary activity. The two rooftop pools are among the best pool setups in any Miami hotel outside the major beach resorts, and the marina views give you a visual connection to the water without the South Beach premium. The Kimpton brand brings a personality that the JW Marriott across the neighborhood doesn't — more casual, more design-forward, and with amenities (wine hour, no hidden fees) that make the stay feel less transactional.
Signal summary
A strong city-side signal: boutique hospitality, two rooftop pools with marina views, and an 8.9 guest score at a rate well below comparable beach luxury.

The two rooftop pools, marina views, and free evening wine hour make it a strong pick for travelers who value the hotel experience as much as the location.

Does Kimpton EPIC Hotel charge resort fees?
Kimpton properties generally do not charge traditional resort fees, which is one of the brand's differentiators. Always verify current fee policy at time of booking, but the absence of mandatory resort fees has historically been a part of the Kimpton value case.
