EAST Miami is the Hong Kong-based Swire Hotels' Miami flagship — a sleek modern tower at Brickell City Centre with Asian design sensibilities, a serious-money clientele, and a rooftop pool bar (Sugar) that's one of Miami's prettiest sunset venues.
Rooms are bigger than typical Brickell standard, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing either the Brickell skyline or Biscayne Bay. The gym is well-equipped (separate cardio and weight floors); Sugar rooftop has the city's best happy-hour crowd; Tea Room downstairs is excellent for breakfast or afternoon work. Connected via skybridge directly to Brickell City Centre's shopping and dining complex — restaurants, supermarket, theater, all without stepping outside.
Best in town for business travel or for non-business travelers who want to be at the center of Brickell's restaurant and nightlife scene rather than on the South Beach tourist drag. Rooms typically $300-450 weekdays, $400-600 weekends in season. Suites and bay-view rooms are the upgrade worth paying for.

How far is EAST from South Beach?
About 15 minutes by car or rideshare — 10 in good traffic, 25-30 in rush hour. Brickell has its own restaurant/bar scene, so many guests don't bother crossing to South Beach.
Is Sugar (the rooftop) open to non-guests?
Yes, but the doormen enforce a smart dress code and the venue gets busy weekends. Reservations recommended for sunset hours.
What about parking?
Valet only, around $50/night. The connected Brickell City Centre garage has self-park options that some guests use.
