Location: Downtown proximity vs beachfront

The Grayson Miami Downtown – Location

The Grayson sits on Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami with many attractions within walking distance.

  • Walking access to Pérez Art Museum, Frost Science Museum, Adrienne Arsht Center and Kaseya Center (arena).
  • Close to Bayside Marketplace, PortMiami and public transit (Metromover/Metromover station ~850 m).
  • Good base for business, cultural visits and cruise-related arrivals.

Choose The Grayson when you want immediate Downtown access and short walks to museums, the arena and waterfront attractions.

Fontainebleau Miami Beach – Location

Fontainebleau is located on Collins Avenue in Mid Beach with direct ocean proximity and beach access.

  • Oceanfront position in the Mid Beach area with the Miami Beach Boardwalk and local beaches nearby.
  • Within a short drive or transit ride of South Beach shopping and Lincoln Road.
  • Resort location is better for beach days and resort-style downtime than for Downtown walking tours.

Choose Fontainebleau when a beachfront location and resort-scale leisure are priorities.

Rooms: smaller hotel rooms vs resort scale

The Grayson Miami Downtown – Rooms

The Grayson offers 127 rooms across nine published room types, many with bay or city views and balconies for some categories.

  • Room options include City View, Bay View and multiple balcony suites; suites and larger rooms available.
  • Rooms are positioned for bay/city views; hotel occupies the lower floors of a mixed building.
  • Smaller overall room count supports quieter, more intimate service.

If you prefer a compact hotel with curated room types and bay-view options, The Grayson fits that brief.

Fontainebleau Miami Beach – Rooms

Fontainebleau is a large resort with 1,504 guestrooms across many room types (supplier listing).

  • Room inventory is very large, designed for high volumes of leisure guests and group bookings.
  • Many room and suite options are typical for a resort this size (specific room-type list not published here).
  • Higher occupancy levels are common, particularly during peak season and event weekends.

Choose Fontainebleau if you want a wide choice of rooms at a large beachfront resort and don't mind the busier scale.

Dining & drinks: three curated venues vs dozens of outlets

The Grayson Miami Downtown – Dining & drinks

The Grayson concentrates food and drink into three core venues for a concise culinary program.

  • Grayson Kitchen serves breakfast and dinner (7:00–11:00 AM; 5:00–10:00 PM).
  • Seasons Café covers daytime coffee, pastries and casual fare (7:00 AM–7:00 PM).
  • Rooftop Bar/Bella’s Rooftop Bar provides cocktails and small plates with bay views.

Expect a short, curated dining list focused on seasonal South Florida ingredients and rooftop cocktails.

Fontainebleau Miami Beach – Dining & drinks

Fontainebleau lists multiple restaurants and bars across the property for broad dining choices.

  • Nine restaurants and eight bars/lounges are published on the supplier listing.
  • Options range from casual poolside snacks to signature dining and 24-hour room service.
  • Large resort footprint supports late-night and diverse culinary offerings.

Fontainebleau is better when you want many on-site dining and late-night options without leaving the resort.

Pools & beach: rooftop city/bay pool vs multi-pool beachfront

The Grayson Miami Downtown – Pools & beach

The Grayson emphasizes its 14th-floor rooftop infinity pool plus a second outdoor pool and pool terrace for events.

  • Rooftop infinity pool offers skyline and Biscayne Bay views, sun loungers, free cabanas and a poolside bar.
  • Second outdoor pool and a 14th-floor pool terrace are used for recreation and private events.
  • Pool areas double as event spaces (Pool Terrace) for weddings and corporate receptions.

Pick The Grayson for a rooftop-pool experience with city and bay views and event flexibility.

Fontainebleau Miami Beach – Pools & beach

Fontainebleau publishes four outdoor pools, multiple poolside bars and a direct walkway to the ocean.

  • Four outdoor pools provide variety for families and leisure guests across the resort footprint.
  • Multiple poolside bars and programmed pool experiences are typical at this resort scale.
  • Direct beach access is available via the resort’s oceanfront location.

Choose Fontainebleau for varied pool options plus beach access in a full-service resort environment.

Wellness & nightlife: med-spa and rooftop nightlife vs large spa and club scene

The Grayson Miami Downtown – Wellness & nightlife

The Grayson offers Alicia Med Spa and 24-hour fitness plus a rooftop bar near the pool for evening drinks.

  • Alicia Med Spa on the 4th floor provides med-spa services (facials, microneedling, body-contouring).
  • 24-hour Fitness Center included with the destination charge; spa bookings require advance reservation.
  • Rooftop Bar and proximity to Downtown nightlife (clubs and venues) provide evening options.

The Grayson suits travelers focused on medical-style spa treatments and a quieter rooftop evening scene.

Fontainebleau Miami Beach – Wellness & nightlife

Fontainebleau features a full-service spa and an on-site nightclub alongside busy resort nightlife.

  • Full-service spa with multiple treatment rooms and a broad menu of massages and body treatments.
  • On-site nightclub and many bars keep the resort active late into the evening.
  • Spa and nightlife combine with pool programming for a resort-oriented social calendar.

Fontainebleau is the pick for guests who want a full spa menu and an active nightlife without leaving the property.
