3 Bedroom Suites in Miami: Hotels, Sizes, and What to Expect

On the Miami Beach side, properties like Faena, 1 Hotel South Beach, and Grand Beach Hotel Surfside West offer oceanfront or ocean-view layouts with premium service inclusions. Faena's Oceanfront Three Bedroom Suite is the largest at 3,429 sq ft, while 1 Hotel South Beach's three-bedroom home comes in at 178 sq m (approximately 1,916 sq ft) with partial ocean views.

In Downtown Miami, The Elser Hotel and EAST Miami take a residence-style approach. EAST Miami's 3-Bedroom Residence Suite is 1,800 sq ft with a full kitchen and separate elevator access. The Elser Hotel's City View Three Bedroom Suite is 1,200 sq ft and accommodates up to 8 guests — the highest occupancy count among confirmed options in this category.

For families who need multiple bathrooms, Faena's suite includes three full bathrooms, while Grand Beach Hotel's 3-bedroom configuration offers four to six full bathrooms. For groups prioritizing kitchen access and self-catering, EAST Miami and The Elser Hotel both include fully equipped kitchens with dining tables.

The Faena Oceanfront Three Bedroom Suite at 3,429 sq ft is the largest by a wide margin. At that scale, it functions more like a private residence than a hotel room, with multiple walk-in closets and a wraparound balcony. It's suited to high-end groups or families who want genuine separation between sleeping, living, and outdoor space.

Mid-range in size: 1 Hotel South Beach's three-bedroom home at approximately 1,916 sq ft and EAST Miami's Residence Suite at 1,800 sq ft. Both include full kitchens and wrap-around or private balconies. The EAST Miami option adds in-suite laundry and separate elevator access, making it more private and self-sufficient. The 1 Hotel option leans into service perks — butler, spa credits, airport transfers — for a more hotel-forward experience at similar square footage.

At the smaller end, The Elser Hotel's 1,200 sq ft City View Suite packs in 8 guests across three bedrooms, each with a private en-suite bath. For the bathroom-to-guest ratio, Grand Beach Hotel's 3-bedroom suites offer the most coverage: up to 6 full bathrooms for up to 8 guests. Groups where bathroom access at peak hours matters should weigh this seriously.

• Largest: Faena — 3,429 sq ft, 3 king beds, wraparound balcony
• Best kitchen/laundry setup: EAST Miami — full kitchen with oven and induction stovetop, in-suite washer/dryer
• Most bathrooms: Grand Beach Hotel Surfside West — 4 to 6 full bathrooms
• Most guests per sq ft: The Elser Hotel — 8 guests in 1,200 sq ft
• Best perks package: 1 Hotel South Beach — airport transfer, $250 credit, spa treatments, daily breakfast

Miami Beach properties — Faena, 1 Hotel South Beach, and Grand Beach Hotel Surfside West — offer oceanfront or ocean-view positioning. The trade-off is that Miami Beach pricing and resort fees tend to be higher. At 1 Hotel South Beach, the Retreat Collection resort fee alone is $95 per room per day (excluding tax), on top of the room rate. Standard rooms at the same property carry a $66/day resort fee. These fees cover amenities like beach chairs, umbrella, bicycle rental, and the Audi e-tron house car service.

Downtown Miami options — EAST Miami and The Elser Hotel — are oriented toward city skyline views rather than ocean views. These tend to attract longer-stay guests, business travelers with families, or groups who want kitchen-centric self-sufficiency over beach-hotel service. EAST Miami's residence suites come with separate elevator access and access to all hotel amenities. The Elser Hotel explicitly structures its pricing around length of stay, with discounts reaching 25% at 7 or more nights.

For groups prioritizing direct beach access, Miami Beach is the clear call. For groups planning a mix of city activities, dining out, and self-catering over multiple nights, Downtown Miami's residence-style suites offer more practical value per square foot.

Full kitchen: Confirmed at 1 Hotel South Beach (full kitchen), EAST Miami (full kitchen with oven, refrigerator, induction stovetop), and The Elser Hotel (full kitchen with Italian cabinetry). Faena lists a kitchen as a room amenity. Grand Beach Hotel's 3-bedroom suites include a coffeemaker but do not specify a full kitchen.

In-suite laundry: Confirmed at EAST Miami (combined washer and dryer) and The Elser Hotel (in-unit washer and dryer). Not confirmed at Faena, 1 Hotel South Beach, or Grand Beach Hotel (Grand Beach offers laundry and dry-cleaning services, but not an in-unit machine).

Butler / concierge service: Dedicated butler service at Faena. At 1 Hotel South Beach, Retreat Collection guests receive a Personal Guru (dedicated concierge) and curbside escort to the suite for in-room check-in. Not listed at EAST Miami, The Elser Hotel, or Grand Beach Hotel.

Balconies: All five properties include a balcony in their 3-bedroom suite. Faena's is a wraparound balcony. 1 Hotel South Beach describes its balcony as the largest they offer. EAST Miami includes a wrap-around balcony. The Elser Hotel has a private balcony.

Pet policy: 1 Hotel South Beach explicitly accepts pets (pet beds included in resort fee amenities). Grand Beach Hotel does not mention a pet policy. Check directly with Faena, EAST Miami, and The Elser Hotel for pet policies.

For large families needing maximum bathroom access, Grand Beach Hotel Surfside West stands out: its 3-bedroom suites include four to six full bathrooms for up to 8 guests. Baby cribs are available on request. The property's 24 Two Bedroom Suites are configured with either 2 kings or 1 king and 2 doubles, giving families the option to book adjacent rooms at the same property if the 3-bedroom units are unavailable.

For families wanting a kitchen and laundry without sacrificing hotel amenities, EAST Miami's 3-Bedroom Residence Suite at 1,800 sq ft accommodates 4 adults and 2 children. The bed configuration of 2 kings and 2 twins is well suited to a family with older children. The separate elevator access adds a layer of privacy that standard hotel hallways don't provide.

The Elser Hotel's City View Three Bedroom Suite accommodates 8 guests in 1,200 sq ft — a tighter layout by square footage but with a sofa bed and en-suite bathrooms in every bedroom. The length-of-stay discounts (up to 25% off for 7+ nights) make it a practical pick for extended family trips where daily hotel rates compound quickly.

For comparison: 1 Hotel South Beach's three-bedroom home (6 guests, 178 sq m) includes daily breakfast per bedroom at its AVIV restaurant — a meaningful convenience for families who don't want to cook every morning. Faena's butler-serviced suite fits groups of three couples or a family that prioritizes space and oceanfront privacy over kitchen functionality.

Resort fees at 1 Hotel South Beach: Standard rooms carry a $66/day resort fee (excluding tax). Retreat Collection rooms — which include the 3-bedroom home — carry a $95/day resort fee (excluding tax). This fee covers beach chairs and umbrella (two per room), bicycle rental, Audi e-tron house car service, and nature-inspired programming. Valet parking is $65 per vehicle (plus tax), or $30 for up to 3 hours with venue validation.

Cancellation at 1 Hotel South Beach: Pay Later rates require 72 hours' notice before arrival to avoid a penalty of up to two nights' stay. For penthouses and homes (which includes the 3-bedroom category), cancellation must be made 14 days prior to arrival to avoid a two-night penalty charge. Special event dates (Art Basel, Ultra Music Festival, Formula 1, Swim Week, Christmas through New Year's, and others) require 14 days' notice with a 100% penalty for late cancellation.

Check-in and ID requirements at 1 Hotel South Beach: Check-in is after 4 PM; check-out by 11 AM. Guests must be 18 or older to book. A valid government-issued photo ID is required at check-in. A $250/day hold is placed on the credit card for incidentals, with additional authorization as needed. The hotel is smoke-free, with a $500 smoking fee per suite.

Credit card policy at 1 Hotel South Beach: The credit card used to make the reservation must be presented at check-in. Third-party billing arrangements must be made directly with the hotel at least 7 days before arrival.

The Elser Hotel length-of-stay discounts: 10% for 1–2 nights, 15% for 3–4 nights, 20% for 5–6 nights, 25% for 7 or more nights. This is explicitly stated on The Elser Hotel's suite page and is the most structured length-of-stay pricing among confirmed properties.
