One of the amenities we fully enjoyed during our stay at the Novotel Miami Brickell is the rooftop pool and the Vista rooftop bar. These are on the 12th floor of the building, offering breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and Brickell's skyline.
We loved how beautiful and stunning the pool was, which allowed us to swim and just relax. The fact that it is a heated pool also made it perfect for taking evening dips, even after sunset. There were lots of comfy sun loungers where we enjoyed chilling and basking in the warm weather.
To make it even better, you can order your favourite drinks right from the Vista bar as we watched the stunning views from the rooftop.
The rooftop pool opens from 10.30am each day which was perfect for us as it allowed us to get a nice nights sleep without waking up too early in the morning. It was also great for getting in a quick morning workout and just soaking up some sun to kick off the day.
We could then swim or just relax by the pool all day if wanted to, until dusk, when it closes.
The Vista rooftop bar stays open until 10 p.m. from Sunday to Wednesday and until midnight on Thursday through Saturday. The evenings were our perfect bonding time as a family as we watched the sunset from the pool and appreciated the beautiful scenery of Biscayne Bay and Brickell's skyline.
The Vista Rooftop Bar has a number of special offers that guests can take advantage of whilst staying at the hotel.
To begin with they have “happy hour” deals at The Vista Rooftop Bar, which runs from 4pm to 7pm, Monday through to Friday where you get 50% discount on house wines, draft beers, and handcrafted cocktails. On Wednesdays, they offer 50% discount of their delicious handcrafted margaritas which is an offer all day long right from opening til closing.
They also live entertainment on certain days too . The live music on our first night was a great welcome. There is a live DJ which is every Saturday and it was ideal for our first evening at the Novotel Miami Brickell.
Novotel Miami Brickell staff really stood out among everything else. They are highly trained, professional, and friendly. Every one of them who served us went the extra mile to ensure that we were happy and satisfied.
For example, by the poolside, they always provided clean towels and even helped us find the perfect sun chairs. The pool area was always clean and well-maintained throughout the day.
At the Vista rooftop bar, the bartenders are true mixology experts. They are always happy to recommend drinks, craft custom cocktails to suit your different tastes, and served you with a big smile.
The entire service team works seamlessly to create a relaxing and enjoyable environment for guests. They are always ready to answer questions, fulfil guest requests, and offer suggestions on the best things to do and experience at the hotel.
In conclusion, the rooftop pool and The Vista Rooftop Bar was a real highlight of our stay at the Novotel Miami Brickell. The location on the top of the hotel on the 12th floor with break taking views was absolutely surreal. It is a must for anyone visiting the hotel and you must take advantage of this. Just have a seat upstairs and just enjoy the view and relax.
