Best for beachfront stays, multiple pools, and dining around the clock at Nobu and Aquatica.

Best for a Brickell address, easy access to downtown Miami and a refined urban hotel experience with full spa and business facilities.
When Nobu Hotel Miami Beach wins: choose Nobu for direct beach access, more on-site pool variety (including an adults-only Nobu Pool), a large destination spa (Esencia) and multiple signature dining outlets tied to the Nobu brand.
When Four Seasons Hotel Miami wins: pick Four Seasons for a central Brickell location near Mary Brickell Village and Brickell City Centre, classic Four Seasons service, a compact urban resort pool and an on-site brasserie-style restaurant with 24-hour room service and business facilities.
Bottom line: both are five-star hotels offering high-end service; pick Nobu if an oceanfront setting and Nobu dining/spa amenities are your priority, or choose Four Seasons Miami if you want downtown convenience, a traditional city‑hotel experience and proximity to Miami’s financial and shopping districts.
