The hype
Travelers obsess over the design and the rooftop vibe, but many feel the room size and amenities don't quite match the $600+ price tag.
Mr C Coconut Grove
$450-800+/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a slice of the Amalfi Coast in Miami without the South Beach chaos, and you prioritize rooftop spritzes over silence.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The Bellini rooftop pool deck feels like a private European yacht club
- Walkable access to Coconut Grove's best cafes and boutiques (CocoWalk is steps away)
- Nautical-chic interiors that feel expensive, not kitschy
Snel Overzicht: A stunningly designed boutique hotel that charges five-star prices but occasionally delivers three-star sleep due to nearby construction and thin walls.
Beoordeeld door @itskimberlyfisher: I checked into Mr. C in Coconut Grove and was blown away. The suite felt like a high-end Italian yacht, and having a glass of wine on my private terrace was the ultimate chill. Highly recommend for a quiet escape.

Reality check
The 'city view' often means 'construction view' or 'street view,' and the pool service can get overwhelmed on sunny weekends.
- You love the Cipriani brand and want a Bellini in hand by noon
- You prefer a walkable, leafy neighborhood over the South Beach party strip
- You appreciate mid-century nautical design (glossy wood, blue leather, chrome)
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent daily service; turndown service includes chocolates.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling clean, though some grout lines show wear in older rooms.
- Maintenance: Newer property, so major issues are rare, but watch for scuffs on the white lacquer furniture.
- Linens & towels: Frette linens are crisp and high quality; towels are plush.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells amazing (signature scent); some rooms have a faint humidity/musty smell if AC isn't cranked.

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten
- The rooftop pool is small; claim a chair by 10 AM on weekends or you'll be standing.
- There is no beach access here; you are on the bay (marina views, no sand).
- Bikes are free to borrow and are the best way to see the Grove.
Wat je mee moet nemen
- European power adapter (just kidding, but pack chic resort wear — no sloppy tees here)
- White noise machine or high-quality earplugs
- Your own coffee if you can't function without it immediately upon waking (unless you book a suite)

- Premier Bay View King (High Floor) — essential for actual water views and distancing from street noise

Kamers om te vermijden
- Superior Courtyard Rooms on lower floors (often dark and face internal walls)
- Rooms facing North/East towards the construction site (ask specifically to face away from the crane)

“I am celebrating a special occasion and am very sensitive to noise. Please assign a room on the highest possible floor, facing AWAY from the Mr. C Residences construction site. I would also appreciate a room with a coffee maker if available.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the rooftop pool is heated, but it's small and more for dipping/socializing than swimming laps.
Can I walk to the beach?
No. Coconut Grove is on the bay. The nearest sandy beach (Key Biscayne or South Beach) is a 20-30 minute Uber ride.
Is breakfast included?
Typically no. It's à la carte at Bellini or Il Giardino and pricey ($30+ per person).
Does the hotel allow pets?
Yes, it's very pet-friendly, but expect a hefty pet fee (around $150 per stay).
Is there a gym?
Yes, a decent Technogym fitness center open 24 hours, plus Peloton bikes.
Who is Mr. C?
It's the hotel brand by Ignazio and Maggio Cipriani, fourth-generation members of the famous Cipriani restaurant family.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast and walk 5 minutes to 'Chug's Diner' for a Cuban-American breakfast that locals swear by.
- ✨
The 'Il Giardino' crepe station in the garden level is often quieter and breezier than the rooftop for a quick coffee.
- ✨
Ask the concierge for a pass to the nearby sailing club if you want to get on the water.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'City View' rooms often look directly at a concrete office building or construction site.
💡You might smell a faint 'tropical mustiness' in the hallways—common in Miami but noticeable here.
💡The elevators can be painfully slow during peak dinner hours when the rooftop restaurant is full.
