Sherman's Expert Review

After a jaw-dropping $1 billion makeover, the Fontainebleau re-emerged in November 2008 as a major convention player but with far more sparkle than the average business hotel. The abundant chandeliers and black bow-tie patterned marble floors evoke the 1954 Morris Lapidus-designed original, a legendarymore Rat Pack hangout; but the supersized scale—1,504 rooms, each equipped with a 20-inch iMac; 11 spacious eateries (ranging from a high-end steakhouse to a poolside sushi lounge); and 30,000-square-foot DJ-driven nightclub—is 21st-century Vegas showmanship all the way.

This is a review for the "new" Fontainebleau.  I have just returned from the "5-star resort" and it is currently in the "soft opening" phase and it is AWFUL.  Over 45 mins to check-in, lost luggage, two other friends almost sent to another hotel... more

"Fontainebleau Resort"

The Fontainebleu Resort on Miami Beach is one of the area's oldest, fanciest, and biggest hotels. It opened in 1954 on 22 acres of oceanfront property. My parents came here on their honeymoon in 1958 and were so impressed they named their first... more

Wow - it sure sounds like service has gone, way, way WAY downhill since I was there in the mid nineties.  Back then they were trying to cater to the Orthodox Jewish Community and had special Passover and Holyday packages for them with Kosher-ized... more

"favorite miami hotel"

i loved the hotel... we stayed here for two nights and absolutely loved the location, view from our room, service and especially the pool

Stayed for a week and loved it!  They just put 2 Billion $ into renovations, but yet it still takes 20 minutes to check in!  Anyways, stayed in the TOWERS on 17th FLOOR, nice view of the oceans and great place to hang out after a long day.

Although I have never stayed here (more money than I've got) before I have attended several functions in several of their suites and I can attest the accomodations are stictly first class. This resort is located on 20 acres and consists of three... more

This is a "resort" type place in the worst meaning of the word. This is a large capacity place. It is beautiful on the surface - the architect deserves credit for the nice design of things. Rooms are large and in general of good standard. So nice... more

"Fantastic Fontainebleau!!"

My friends and I chose the Fontainebleau for a special birthday. We were not disappointed!! The rooms were spotless, the views spectacular and the service outstanding. Although there are many good local restaurants near by, we chose to try each... more

This place is so bad. I've honestly stayed at better roadside motels. I stayed for a week while in transition to the new pad. The furniture is dated, the noise is ridiculously loud until 4am and the processes are all messed up. I could give a... more

"beautiful remodeling but service very poor"

this is a beautiful property which just completed a billion dollar renovation. The service was very poor, everything is extremely expensive. They need to train with the four seasons to be able to compete at the level they thing they are at. The... more
