Large Ocean View 1BR/2BA in Fontainebleau
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
This is a spacious 1-bedroom, 2-bathroom suite located within the iconic Fontainebleau Miami Beach resort, curated and privately managed by Benichay Brothers for a more personalized, residential-style stay. At roughly 1,000 sq ft (100 m²), the suite is designed for longer stays and families or small groups who want extra space and a full kitchen without giving up access to a major resort's amenities.
Rooms & Layout
The suite features a private bedroom with a king-size bed, a separate living area with a full-size sofa sleeper, two full bathrooms, and a private balcony with ocean views. A full kitchen with a 4-burner stove, oven, full fridge, dishwasher, and microwave supports extended stays, and an in-unit washer and dryer add further convenience. A Pack 'n Play is included, and an inflatable mattress can be added for a fee.
Resort Amenities & Recreation
Guests have full access to the Fontainebleau's resort-style facilities, including seven pools (indoor and outdoor), a hot tub, fitness center, and beachfront access. The stay includes two complimentary Lapis Spa passes per room (18+), and the resort also offers 24-hour security. Free Wi-Fi and free self-parking are included, while valet parking is available for an additional, seasonally variable fee.
Dining & Services
On-site dining, bars, cafés, and room service are provided directly through the Fontainebleau, while Benichay Brothers privately handles in-suite services such as additional cleaning, towel and linen requests, maintenance coordination, and a personalized concierge check-in experience. Guests can reach hotel services like room service, spa registration, and valet coordination directly via the in-room phone.
Location
The suite sits directly on Miami Beach's Collins Avenue corridor, steps from dining options such as La Côte, Cecconi's Miami, and Vida, and within easy walking distance of several bus stops including 4441 Collins Avenue and Indian Creek Dr & 44 St. Miami International Airport is about 17 km away, making it a manageable drive for arriving guests.
Best for
This suite suits families and small groups seeking a residential-style stay, thanks to its two bedroom-equivalent sleeping areas, two bathrooms, full kitchen, and in-unit laundry. It also appeals to couples wanting a resort-heavy vacation, given the included Lapis Spa passes, multiple pools, hot tub, and beachfront access on-site, along with a walkable strip of restaurants like La Côte and Cecconi's Miami just steps away.
Travel tips
Since arrivals between 7:01 PM and 6:59 AM incur an additional after-hours check-in fee, it's worth timing arrival earlier in the day and completing the required pre-registration with the Benichay Brothers concierge team in advance. Guests without a car can rely on nearby bus stops (several within 300m) for local transit, while a $250/night refundable deposit and a mandatory resort fee are charged at check-in, so budgeting for those extras is recommended. Note that the hotel has reported ongoing elevator maintenance delays, so allow extra time during peak hours.
