Bay View 2 Bedroom Suite

As the name says, this suite is a Bay View category. Sweeping water views are the focus of the generous living area, and the soundproofed layout lets them take centre stage. The hotel itself sits on the oceanfront at 3201 Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach, so you can combine a bay-view suite with full access to the private beach and pools.

The suite has two bedrooms with 2 King Beds and sleeps up to 6 guests. Each bedroom has its own sitting area and wardrobe or closet space, and the beds are dressed with premium bedding. A rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge (around $75 per night).

Yes. At 1494 sq. ft. with two separate bedrooms, it gives parents and children real privacy. A free crib is available and connecting rooms can be arranged for larger groups. Faena Miami Beach welcomes children of all ages, with a family pool, a kids' program and babysitting for a surcharge. Children aged 13 and over are charged as adults.

The private bathroom has a rainfall showerhead, towels, complimentary toiletries and a hair dryer. Toothbrush and toothpaste are available on request.

Faena Miami Beach is not all-inclusive. The nightly resort fee ($65 plus 14% tax) covers in-room and property-wide WiFi, unlimited local calls and complimentary access to Tierra Santa's wet spa and fitness centre. It also covers chaise lounges, umbrella and towel service at the pool and beach, a welcome beverage, digital newspapers via iPad and first-come house-car access. Dining, spa treatments and valet parking are charged separately.

The rooms are soundproofed, which helps keep the living area and both bedrooms calm. If you want a late night in, 24-hour room service, a minibar, a refrigerator and a coffee/tea maker mean you do not need to go out. The hotel also has a late-night jazz bar and a lounge, so you can choose when to join in.

Everything is on the property. The hotel has a private beach, several temperature-controlled infinity pools (lap, family and central) and a hot tub.

Off property, 36th Street Beach and 41st Street Beach are each about a five-minute walk, and the Museum of Ice Cream is roughly 400 feet away.
