travel review | The Mommy Insider

If you are planning a trip to Florida and are considering a stay in Miami, you need to consider staying at Viceroy Miami!

I stayed at Viceroy Miami recently during a press trip with Toyota to review the 2014 Toyota Corolla and while my initial thought was that the hotel was too fancy to be a hotel that I would be anxious to take my kids to, I totally wanted my husband to jump on an airplane so that he could enjoy the gorgeous hotel and their outdoor living space, with me… in my ‘spare time’. 🙂 The second day of my visit I saw a couple of young children at the pool with their parents (or nannies) and realized that just because a hotel is very fancy, doesn’t mean that they don’t cater to and enjoy having kids as visitors. Why else would Viceroy Miami have Florida’s longest infinity pool than for kids to enjoy? 😉

Viceroy Miami is a luxury Miami Florida resort and is the centerpiece of the groundbreaking Icon Brickell project, a 10-acre bay-front enclave adjacent to historical Miami River Circle Park. Several family friendly attractions including Miami Children’s Museum and Miami Seaquarium are just a short drive from Viceroy Miami.

My room at Viceroy Miami had a queen bed, desk, balcony, stocked mini-fridge, microwave, coffee/tea maker, and a large flat screen TV.

The 2 bedroom suite in Viceroy Miami’s residence tower is ideal for those traveling with children. Viceroy Miami’s residence option spans from 1300 to 1400 square feet, supplying the room and seclusion of a main home with signature Viceroy Service. Situated on elevated floors, these luxurious lodgings present restricted entrance from the residents-exclusive elevator vestibule, complete kitchens, expansive verandas, and first-rate sights. The two bedroom residences showcase classy and modern inner design.

Residential rooms contain a epicure kitchen with first-class appliances, in addition to cutlery, glassware, flatware, and cooking utensils. The spacious bathroom displays enormous vanities with single or double basins, soaking tubs, and upright showers.

You and your kids will enjoy Viceroy Miami’s immersive outdoor entertaining center. After relaxing in your room or suite for a bit, why not head outside to the relaxing outdoor spaces?

Viceroy Miami’s outdoor areas include:

Two-acres of open-air living, featuring the lengthiest infinity pool in Florida (reaching Biscayne Bay)
Enormous outside fireplace
Full-scale chess set
Two parks
Jogging trail
And much more!

Parents should take time to relax at the spa! Viceroy Miami offers a variety of health, social, physique, and liveliness packages at the eminent Miami luxury spa.

Vacationing with children can be difficult, but only if there is not anything for your kids to do. Below are some nearby places to visit with your kids while you’re staying at Viceroy Miami.
