Miami Beach is often thought of as a destination best suited for party-goers and adults looking to enjoy the vibrant nightlife, but that couldn’t be further from the truth when it comes to Loews Miami Beach. This hotel proves that Miami Beach is just as ideal for families, offering an array of activities, amenities, and dining options that cater to both adults and children alike. Our family of three—including our energetic 3-year-old—had the most incredible weekend at Loews, and here’s a look at how it all unfolded.
The Rooms
From the moment we walked into our room, we knew we’d made the right choice. The spacious accommodations were designed with families in mind. We stayed in a one-bedroom suite that comfortably fit the three of us. There was plenty of room for playtime, and the soft furnishings were perfect for lounging together after a long day in the South Florida sunshine. The separate living area was also a great way place for mom and dad to relax in the evenings after our little one went to bed early. The view of the ocean was breathtaking, and we were so glad we had a a balcony to enjoy the breeze.
The Food
Loews Miami Beach offers a variety of dining options that cater to different tastes and preferences, making it easy to find something for everyone, including our 3-year-old. Bar Collins, located in the heart of the hotel lobby, serves a casual menu with comforting favorites like pizza and wings, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. The vibrant atmosphere makes it a fun spot for families, while offering options that kids will love. For a more intimate dining experience, Rao's Miami Beach, a cozy 10-table restaurant, serves simple and delicious Italian dishes like traditional meatballs, linguini with clams, and grass-fed lamb chops.
The Property
The hotel is right on the beach, making it easy to take a stroll or spend hours playing in the sand. We rented a cabana for the day, which was a game-changer. The cabanas are spacious and well-equipped, with comfortable seating, a mini fridge, and personalized service. It was the perfect way to spend a day by the ocean while keeping our toddler cool and entertained.
If you’re looking for a poolside experience like no other, we recommend booking a Soak Cabana. These private cabanas come with AC, a bathroom, and a personal concierge to ensure you’re well taken care of. Our toddler loved the shaded, cool environment while we relaxed by the pool, and we could easily take breaks in the comfort of our cabana without losing sight of the action. Make sure to order a refreshing coconut water served straight from the coconut, offering a tropical, authentic experience.
Not to miss: the pizza-making class available on the weekends. Our little guy and I had the best time kneading dough and creating a pizza -- that we later got to eat -- with our favorite toppings. It's an experience he still talks about.
The Kids Club
Beyond the pizza-making class, our little one absolutely loved the kids club. It's not just any kids’ club—it’s an adventure zone! The treehouse was the highlight, offering a perfect spot for climbing, playing, and imagining. There were also video games, arts and crafts, and plenty of activities to keep your little ones entertained. We felt completely at ease leaving our toddler in the capable hands of the staff for a few hours while we had some adult time.
Other kid-friendly highlights include Friday Family Movie Nights, taking place on the outdoor lawn (weather permitting). A little rain during our stay transitioned this activity indoors, but it did not miss a beat. An indoor ballroom was transformed into a cozy movie room, complete with bean bags, glow sticks and snack like popcorn and cotton candy.
Overall, our weekend at the Loews Hotel Miami Beach was the perfect family getaway. From the spacious rooms to the fantastic dining and kid-friendly amenities, it was a stay that we’ll remember fondly. If you're looking for a family-friendly retreat, this hotel checks all the boxes—and then some.
