Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
Newly renovated and named one of the top five hotels in Miami in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2018 Readers’ Choice Awards, Kimpton Epic Miami impresses planners and guests on every level. More than 31,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor venues, including 14 flexible function rooms, provides cohesive event space to help create meetings with lasting influence. From rooms on the mezzanine level to conference space centered on the 14th floor to the scenic 16th-floor pool deck, the 411-room hotel satisfies a variety of agendas.
The largest room, the Metropolis Ballroom, accommodates up to 300 seated guests or 400 for a reception; the smallest, the Wayne and Xavier Boardrooms, specialize in intimate sessions for up to 10 people.
Two floors up, a wraparound deck holds two pools and 10 private cabanas — a truly epic setting to unwind by day and party by night. Planners can reserve the space for meeting breakouts, receptions, and events, or they can count on private dining at the hotel’s restaurants and beachside at the Surfcomber on South Beach, a sister hotel.
With its own marina on the doorstep, Kimpton Epic Miami also offers yacht cruises and catering with an array of maritime themes. Other essentials of the experience include visits to the Area 31 and Zuma restaurants; Bar Journe, located inside the luxury F.P. Journe watch boutique; and Exhale spa and fitness center.

Epic is a very lovely hotel and would recommend to anyone either visiting Miami on business, vacation or an event planner. Unfortunately the meeting space was a little smaller than what I needed at the time. For smaller groups less than 175 this hotel is perfect from the food, bar, activities, pool and staff in general Great hotel.

Property is amazing, right on waterfront & easy access to downtown Miami/ Bayside Marina. Staff members were great, very friendly & anticipated needs before you had them (however, outdoor bar staff was disappointing).
I hope to book one of our upcoming meetings there (or even a personal vacation).

We held our August 2014 Elite Meetings Alliance at the EPIC Miami, and they did an outstanding job. Considering our group was made up of meeting industry experts, the EPIC was really under the microscope, and they passed with flying colors. While the condition of the hotel was top notch, it was the service that really made this event a huge success. They've done an amazing job with their staff, and each and every one of them delivered service with a sincerity that is rare to come by these days. They genuinely cared about all of our attendees, resulting in rave reviews from one of the most critical groups one could have in their hotel. Great job team EPIC!

The Epic is a beautiful hotel sitting on the Biscayne Bay. The accommodations are comfortable and modern and the views are spectacular. Not many hotels offer a balcony, but the ability to sit outside and enjoy the Florida sun is a plus. All of the hotel staff from the bellman, front desk, housekeeping to convention/banquet staff is great and very attentive.
Overall Rating: 4.8/5

From the moment we arrived at EPIC we were greeted with exceptional customer service, a knowledgeable banquet staff that engaged with our group, beautiful guest rooms with spectacular views of Miami, spacious meeting rooms and the food was incredible! The pool provided a calm and relaxing atmosphere. A fun spot to hangout after dinner is Area 31 which is an outdoor lounge conveniently located by the pool with spectacular views of Biscayne Bay!

Great location - close proximity to airport and off the water. Guest rooms are nice. Ballroom space is nice. Breakout space is very crammed - short ceiling and tight hallways. Food was okay.

Jordan C. Aequitas Capital Management Corporate Planner
To say that the hotel is extraordinary would be an understatement. I worked in a hotel for about 4 years so I also know from inferior to superior hospitality...and this hotel scored a double 10 for sure on all counts.
I was quite nervous about hosting an event site unseen but from the instant get-go, upon first contact the team and staff put me perfectly at ease and streamlined the entire process for me. Once I got there personally, things were only escalated to a whole other level of service. Not only were my accommodations personally extraordinary, but all of my colleagues loved their rooms and the ability to dine while overlooking gorgeous Biscayne Bay.
The meetings went smoothly and efficiently, thanks to Yoli Troncoso, Tara Sayers and her team, for catering to our every need.The food was divine, A/V and room set-ups were flawless and everyone was happy! What’s better than that?

The Epic staff had an amazing way of looking after my little group this week. I have had so many nice things reported and everyone seems to have had a great time. I do hope it won’t be long before I am able to come back to the wonderful Epic.

I hightly recommend the EPIC for group meetings. The hotel is fabulous and the service is top notch!

The Epic was a wonderful property to work with. The staff was attentive and executed our HCP program impeccably. All attendees (internal and external) and meeting planners were pleased with the hotel and overall experience. The Epic was flexible with food and beverage maximums and the food was delicious. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely bring more business to the Epic when space and dates permit.
Abby K. Amgen Corporate Planner
The staff made the meeting a success. I will refer anyone that needs to have a meeting or a hotel in Miami.
Megan R. Corporate Planner
I would like to bring to your attention the superb service I received from the staff prior, during, and after the meeting. All went out of their way to provide excellent service and they showed the pride they have for the hotel and in executing their job. They made me look good and made my meeting successful. It was most enjoyable to stay at this hotel and I will always keep it in mind for any future meetings.
