Location: Downtown convenience vs beachfront resort

The Grayson Miami Downtown – Location

The Grayson sits on Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami, a short walk to major museums, performing arts and the Kaseya Center.

  • Walking distance to Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, Pérez Art Museum Miami and Bayside Marketplace.
  • Close to the Metromover and public transit links for exploring Brickell, Wynwood and beyond.
  • About a 15-minute drive to Miami International Airport in typical traffic.

Pick The Grayson if you want walkable access to Miami’s cultural and event centers.

1 Hotel South Beach – Location

1 Hotel South Beach sits directly on Collins Avenue with immediate access to the sand and the Miami Beach Boardwalk.

  • A short walk to Collins Avenue shopping, the Miami Beach Boardwalk and Lincoln Road Mall.
  • Beachfront address puts ocean-facing rooms and beach services within immediate reach.
  • Airport transfers and valet services are commonly used for getting around; driving times vary with traffic.

Choose 1 Hotel if beach time and South Beach proximity are priorities.

Rooms: Downtown views and a range of room types vs larger resort inventory

The Grayson Miami Downtown – Rooms

The Grayson offers 127 rooms with bay or city views and a set of balcony and suite options.

  • Room types include City View, Bay View, balcony options, pool-view terrace rooms and suites (names and sizes published).
  • Many rooms offer Biscayne Bay or skyline views; several categories include balconies.
  • Standard check-in is 4:00 PM; check-out at 11:00 AM.

The Grayson suits travelers who want bay/skyline views in a smaller, design-forward inventory.

1 Hotel South Beach – Rooms

1 Hotel South Beach has a much larger room inventory across standard rooms and suites with beach or city aspects.

  • Supplier listing shows 426 guestrooms; rooms typically include tablets, premium bedding and deep soaking tubs.
  • Beach-facing rooms and suites give direct ocean proximity not available in Downtown hotels.
  • Resort-scale lodging means more room-type variety and on-property capacity for larger groups.

1 Hotel fits travelers who want a broader choice of room types and beachfront options.

Dining & drinks: Focused downtown venues vs resort-scale restaurants and bars

The Grayson Miami Downtown – Dining & drinks

The Grayson’s dining centers on three in-house venues that emphasize local ingredients and rooftop cocktails.

  • Grayson Kitchen serves breakfast and dinner (7–11 AM breakfast; 5–10 PM dinner).
  • Seasons Café offers daytime coffee, pastries and casual fare (7 AM–7 PM).
  • Rooftop Bar (Bella’s) provides cocktails and small plates with bay views; in-room dining mirrors restaurant menus.

If you want casual café mornings and a rooftop cocktail scene, The Grayson covers it in a compact set of venues.

1 Hotel South Beach – Dining & drinks

1 Hotel South Beach operates multiple restaurants and bars across the property, supporting a resort-style dining program.

  • Supplier listing shows 3 restaurants and multiple bars/lounges (6 bars/lounges and 2 poolside bars listed).
  • 24-hour room service and a coffee shop/cafe are available; full breakfast is published as available for a fee.
  • Poolside and rooftop dining options are part of the larger resort F&B mix.

1 Hotel is better if you want variety in on-site dining and multiple bar settings without leaving the resort.

Pools & beach: Rooftop infinity and city views vs multiple pools and direct sand

The Grayson Miami Downtown – Pools & beach

The Grayson highlights a 14th-floor rooftop infinity pool with city/bay views plus a second outdoor pool.

  • Rooftop pool deck includes free cabanas, loungers, umbrellas and a poolside bar.
  • The rooftop is used for leisure and as an event space; pool is on the 14th floor.
  • Two outdoor pools are listed across travel sources.

Choose The Grayson for a dramatic rooftop pool with skyline and bay views rather than a beach day.

1 Hotel South Beach – Pools & beach

1 Hotel South Beach combines several outdoor pools with direct access to Miami Beach.

  • Supplier listing notes three outdoor pools, pool cabanas (surcharge) and poolside bars.
  • Beach amenities include sun loungers, umbrellas and beach cabanas (some services surcharge).
  • Resort scale makes it easier to move between pools, beach and poolside food/drink service.

Pick 1 Hotel when you want multiple pool options and immediate beach access.

Wellness & nightlife: Spa-driven resort wellness vs compact med-spa and downtown nightlife

The Grayson Miami Downtown – Wellness & nightlife

The Grayson offers Alicia Med Spa and 24-hour fitness access; Downtown nightlife is a short walk away.

  • Alicia Med Spa (on-site) offers medical-style aesthetic services and traditional spa treatments; reservations required for massages.
  • 24-hour fitness center included with the daily destination charge.
  • E11EVEN nightclub and other Downtown nightlife spots are within a short walk.

The Grayson is a solid pick if you want an on-site med-spa and easy access to downtown nightlife.

1 Hotel South Beach – Wellness & nightlife

1 Hotel emphasizes resort-scale wellness with a full-service spa, health club and fitness/wellness programming.

  • Supplier listing shows full-service spa, health club and on-site pilates classes among amenities.
  • Resort spa programming typically includes massages, body treatments and facials (reservations often required).
  • Wellness and beach activity options extend beyond a single treatment menu to more resort-style offerings.

Choose 1 Hotel if a full-service spa and broad wellness programming are key to your stay.
