Luxury Suites with a Skyline View in Downtown Miami

Meet, Dine, and Unwind - Elegantly

In the heart of Downtown Miami, The Elser Hotel offers a dynamic blend of luxury, innovation, and versatility—perfectly suited for high-impact meetings, incentive travel, and corporate retreats. Housed in a striking 49-story tower, the hotel features 450 residential-style suites, each with full kitchens, in-room laundry, and floor-to-ceiling windows that open to sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the city skyline.

The Elser’s 9,570 square feet of meeting and event space includes six modern venues and two expansive outdoor terraces. From the panoramic Biscayne Room, ideal for receptions of up to 250 guests, to intimate executive spaces like the Gables Room, each venue is equipped with high-speed internet, advanced AV technology, and flexible layouts. The 3,000-square-foot Lawn Deck and Freedom Terrace offer open-air settings for team-building, cocktail receptions, and sunset celebrations—framed by Miami’s iconic skyline.

For a truly distinctive experience, planners can also book Ocean View Two-Bedroom Suites for private strategy sessions or VIP hospitality, and partner with the adjacent First Church Miami for access to an additional 7,900 square feet of theater, banquet, and recreational space—including a half-court basketball area, pickleball courts, and an indoor rock-climbing wall.

Dining at The Elser is designed to elevate every moment. The ViceVersa Italian Aperitivo Bar, located in the lobby, has earned recognition from the Michelin Guide for its inventive cocktails and refined small plates. Conceived by award-winning mixologists and chefs, ViceVersa blends Italian tradition with Miami flair—making it a standout venue for pre-event gatherings or post-meeting wind-downs.

For rooftop dining, the Elser Bay Terrace offers seasonal bites and signature dishes by Executive Chef Antony Awak, served 123 feet above Biscayne Bay. It’s the perfect setting for brunches, happy hours, or starlit receptions with skyline views. Planners can also arrange custom catering for meetings and events, with menus tailored to suit everything from executive luncheons to gala dinners.

Guests enjoy access to a multi-level fitness complex, rooftop pool and swim-spa hot tub, and exclusive Beach Club privileges on South Beach. Whether relaxing after a full day of meetings or exploring Miami’s vibrant cultural scene, The Elser offers a seamless balance of productivity and leisure.

From its prime location near the Kaseya Center and Brightline Station to its unmatched blend of style, service, and flexibility, The Elser Hotel Miami is a premier choice for planners seeking a venue that inspires connection, creativity, and impact.
