Conrad Miami

Conrad Miami’s dramatic 36-story tower reflects the best of its home on Biscayne Bay: ever-sunny skies, talc-white sands, and bottle-green waters. Behind the concave facade of steel and glass, the hotel presents the latest technology and high-end touches throughout, from its 20,000 square feet of meeting space to its 203 luxury rooms and suites finished in refined minimalist decor.

The second- and third-floor meeting rooms total 20,000 square feet and come equipped with high-tech ergonomic furnishings. The largest affairs gather in the Conrad Ballroom, featuring two walls with floor-to-ceiling windows—one overlooking a bamboo terrace and quiet reflection pool. A state-of-the-art boardroom and eight more venues range from 324 to 1,892 square feet with a stylish sense of place. Meeting planners encounter equally enticing choices when it comes to group outings: the historic Renaissance-style Vizcaya villa and gardens, charming Coconut Grove, and the eclectic Miami Beach Art Deco District.

Recreation often starts at The Rooftop, which features a large pool with cabanas and hot tub, two lighted tennis courts, and the Soleil Bar & Grill. The Spa at Conrad Miami and a 24-hour fitness center promise to recharge weary travelers on the twenty-fourth floor. For refreshment of a different sort, the chic Atrio restaurant with its skyline backdrop and ingredient-driven menu, the convivial Bar at Level 25, and the intimate Wine Room each afford an engaging atmosphere well-suited for private meetings and mingling.
