From the fourth generation hospitality leaders, brothers Ignazio and Maggio Cipriani, comes Mr. C Miami - Coconut Grove. An oasis within bustling South Florida surrounded by breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and the Coconut Grove skyline.
Deep blue hues painted the room, with a tufted leather headboard in gradient shades of blue and turquoise that matched the walls for a calming effect. If I was on a cruise ship, this was a premier cabin.
There are only 100 guest rooms and suites in this boutique hotel, which range from 300 to 1,400 square feet, all with private balconies.
The standard Superior King starts at $187 and is located on all floors and is actually a few square feet larger than my room, and comes with a larger balcony with chaise lounge bed, making it a better value in not only price but amenities.
Upgraded Premier Bay View rooms offer a better vantage point for views and will be similar to the Superior Room, but facing the more desirable side of the building. There are also signature suites for a more lavish stay that includes separate living areas and spa-like bathrooms with bathtubs. These rooms range from $350 to $600 based on type, with the Signature Suite offering the lowest barrier to entry at just $320 to start per night.

I'd happily return, but either to a top floor standard room or a suite priced only a bit more.
Naturally, the restaurant is key to Mr. C’s appeal. Bellini is a stylish and upscale eatery by the fourth generation of this family of restaurateurs, with a menu inspired by a multitude of Italian regions. And thanks to its Coconut Grove setting, there’s a bit of a resort vibe here, thanks to the spa, the poolside restaurant, and the neighborhood itself, with its marina and its laid-back vibe.
It too felt like booking a table at the fine dining option on a sleek ship, with waiters clad in white tuxedo jackets and black bowties. It's the perfect place to enjoy freshly-made pasta and people watch.
Adjacent to the restaurant was a lovely rooftop pool with gorgeous views of Biscayne Bay and filled with sailboats in the distance. There aren't too many chairs, but this is a small boutique hotel and I spotted plenty of available loungers. There are also plush cabanas available to rent if you'd prefer.
The pool is a great place to perch and reset, but you have to walk through the restaurant to reach it. It might feel a bit off-putting to don a bathing suit and skimpy cover-up and then find yourself passing by well-dressed diners and tuxedo-wearing waiters. The staff assured me there are no rules about it though, so strut your stuff.
The beach is a 15 to 30-minute drive away, depending on where you want to go. The hotel partners with vendors to arrange beachside amenities that include two beach chairs and towels. Rentals for an additional feel are also available such as beach umbrellas, wave-runners, parasailing, paddle boards, and more.

The room was quite large with a beautiful, well supplied bathroom. Everything about it was excellent, including the staff and the food. Coconut Grove is a great place to visit if you're looking for something not quite as busy and large Miami. It has great restaurants and shopping with a more small town feeling. I am giving this a 8.7 Rating out of 10.
