Exploring Brickell

Brickell is Miami's primary financial and residential district, located just south of Downtown Miami. While the neighborhood is known for its high-rise buildings, its location along the Miami River and Biscayne Bay also provides access to waterfront activities and outdoor recreation.

The neighborhood is easy to explore without a car. The Metromover and Miami Trolley are both free, with stops just steps from The Brickell Arch.

The nine-story hotel overlooks Biscayne Bay and provides a convenient base for exploring Brickell's restaurants, nightlife, and waterfront. Popular destinations such as Club Space are within easy reach, while several notable restaurants are a short walk or rideshare away.

For French cuisine, LPM Restaurant & Bar is located nearby. Other popular options include Amazónico Miami at Miami Worldcenter and The Mexican on Brickell Key.

Mediterranean Dining at ADRIFT Mare

The hotel is also home to ADRIFT Mare, a Mediterranean restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The coastal menu, created by Chef David Myers, includes dishes designed for sharing, such as a mezze platter with olives, aged cheese, hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, falafel, and freshly baked pita.

For a main course, the grilled red snapper is served with harissa aioli and tomatillo salad, offering a lighter option after a day of exploring.

Paddleboarding on Biscayne Bay

With Biscayne Bay nearby, Brickell Arch is well positioned for travelers who want to incorporate water activities into their stay.

JOLYN

Paddleboard and kayak rentals are available at several nearby locations, including Biscayne Bay Paddleboards & Kayaks, Hobie Island Beach Park, and PADL at Virginia Key Beach Club.

For colorful  sun protection on the water, a three-piece set from JOLYN combines a bikini top and bottom with a rash guard. The pieces can be worn together for greater coverage or separately, depending on the activity and conditions. The silky soft fabric is rated UPF 50+ and made with recycled materials.

Guests can start the day with a sunrise run through Brickell, explore the 10-mile Underline linear park, or join a yoga or spin class on the hotel's rooftop lawn.

The rooftop pool provides another option for exercise. Guests can swim laps before settling into one of the poolside loungers or relaxing in the jacuzzi.

For avid swimmers, JOLYN's Caroline Onesie offers a more secure fit with a built-in shelf bra, wider straps, and fuller coverage. Its Foreverever fabric is designed to resist fading from repeated exposure to chlorine and saltwater. The suit's snug fit also helps reduce drag during swimming.

After a workout, guests can order a Palm Paradise mocktail made with coconut, cucumber, mint, and lime. Poolside food service includes grilled-to-order tacos and burgers for a casual meal between activities.

Recovery and Relaxation

Footwear can also be part of a practical wellness routine, particularly when moving between the pool, spa, and hotel room. KURU's Moment Flip provides cushioning and heel support in a flip-flop design, while the Moment slide offers a similar approach in a slip-on style. Either can serve as poolside or spa footwear.

For a more traditional wellness experience, the Leaf Spa is a full-service facility located on the same floor as the hotel's fitness center. Its nature-inspired setting provides a place to slow down after a day of exercise or sightseeing.

Rest and Recharge

Sleep is an important part of any wellness-focused getaway, and the hotel's guest rooms provide a comfortable place to recharge.

Rooms feature king beds and, in select accommodations, views of Biscayne Bay. Bathrooms include both a bathtub and enclosed rain shower, along with a European-style hand shower.

Bath amenities include Byredo hand soap and Urban Apothecary London shampoo, conditioner, and bath products. Guests also have access to terry-cloth robes, disposable slippers, and a hair dryer.

A wellness-focused Miami getaway does not require leaving the city. From the waterfront and Underline to rooftop fitness, swimming, paddleboarding, and spa treatments, Brickell provides plenty of opportunities to stay active while still enjoying the area's restaurants and nightlife. With its central location, rooftop pool, fitness facilities, and access to Biscayne Bay, Brickell Arch offers a practical home base for travelers looking to combine exercise, relaxation, and time outdoors during a Miami stay.
