Rooms: suites and city or bay views vs. large inventory and ocean views

Novotel Miami Brickell – Rooms

Novotel offers a compact set of room types focused on city and bay views.

  • 275 air-conditioned rooms including Executive Suite, Suite, and several Superior Room variants (exact names listed on the property page).
  • Many rooms offer city, park or bay views; rooms include minibars and in-room safes.
  • Rooms are part of a 12-floor, modern 2016 building with accessible room types available.

Novotel’s rooms suit travelers who want skyline or Biscayne Bay views in a modern Brickell hotel.

  • Room conveniences include safes, desks and complimentary WiFi; housekeeping provided once per stay (per supplier text).

  • UVA Restaurant & Lounge: all-day dining with international/Mediterranean-leaning menu and set hours for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  • Vista Rooftop Bar: rooftop poolside bar with cocktails, small plates and weekend brunch.
  • Room service and weekend brunch options available; both venues accept reservations via OpenTable.

Novotel covers everyday dining and rooftop cocktails without the scale of a large resort food program.
