Frommer's "Although you won't find ubiquitous Hilton heiresses Paris and Nicky at this business-oriented hotel... you will find luxury-lovers who have no interest in minimalism or celebrity spottings." Full review
Lonely Planet "Don’t be ashamed Conrad: you’re a credit to the genre, from the 25th-floor power-broker sky lobby to a location in the heart of Brickell’s flash and finance." Full review

"Taking up 17 floors of a 36-story downtown skyscraper, this Hilton luxury offshoot has some swanky touches." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Located within Miami’s business district, this luxurious high-end Hilton, a 36-floor skyscraper, mainly caters for business people."
Time Out "The Conrad, an iconic skyscraper, is certainly chic. The streamlined glass and steel architecture, by Bermello Ajamil, will please modernists." Full review
Star Service "Set in a prime downtown location, two blocks south of the more traditional JW Marriott, this was one of the early downtown pioneers." Full review

As part of the building is given over to posh residences, guests should book treatments in the popular spa upon arrival to avoid missing out.

Fodor's "Occupying floors 16 to 26 of a 36-story skyscraper in Miami's Financial District, this chic hotel mixes business with pleasure, offering easy access to the best of Downtown Miami." Full review

Avoid the older units if at all possible.
Gayot "This 34-story tall landmark hotel with 641 guest rooms and suites is located within walking distance of the international Bayside Marketplace and central to the city's business district."
BlackBook "Stylish enough and big with the business crowd or those who want to be smack in the middle of downtown Miami."
