Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

The white and whimsical Asia de Cuba spills out into the lobby and, as the name suggests, fuses Asian and Latin cuisine to create intensely flavoured dishes, such as calamari salad with chayote, palm hearts, banana and cashews, and tuna tartare with olives and almonds. Surrounded by etched mirrors and candelabra, one lengthy dining table is bookended by high-backed ‘whisper chairs’ that enable diners at either end of the table to hear each other speak at the lowest volumes.

Dress code

Go for bold Balenciaga or Moschino cocktail dresses. And remember, there’s no upper limit on heel length or sunglasses size here.

Top table

For real romance, rent on of the poolside cabanas and arrange to dine in there. Alternatively, secure a pot on the terrace for Biscayne Bay views while you eat.

Last orders

Dinner’s available until 11pm during the week and midnight at weekends. The bar buzzes on till 2am (4am on Fridays, and 3am on Saturdays).

Room service

A full 24-hour menu is available.

Hotel bar

One of Miami’s hippest hangouts, Sunset Lounge is named and decorated in honour of the original Mondrian on Sunset boulevard, with etched mirrored walls, a slick black-and-white colour theme. There are regular DJ nights, and the mixed berry caipirhinas are beauty in a glass.
