About Dua Miami Brickell, An Autograph Collection Hotel
Dua Miami Brickell is a luxury boutique hotel in downtown Miami’s Brickell neighborhood, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection of unique lifestyle hotels. Housed in a 51-story mixed-use tower (with 450 condos) at 1300 S. Miami Avenue, the hotel occupies the first nine floors and offers 124 stylish rooms and suites, most with private balconies and panoramic skyline views (www.miamilivingmagazine.com ) (www.hoteldive.com ). The property was originally the SLS LUX Brickell (opened around 2018) and was acquired by the Albanian Kastrati Group in late 2023, relaunching in mid-2024 as DUA Miami (www.hoteldive.com ) (www.yahoo.com ). The name “Dua” means “to want” or “to love” in Albanian, reflecting the hotel’s theme of indulgence and personal connection (www.yahoo.com ). Guests immediately notice the signature architecture: a modern skyscraper designed by Arquitectonica, featuring an iconic multicolored LED-lit façade by artist Markus Linnenbrink (www.prnewswire.com ) (www.yahoo.com ). Inside, the public spaces are art-filled and avant-garde (with pieces ranging from 15th–19th century works to contemporary installations), and designer Philippe Starck’s playful, minimalist style shapes the guest rooms and suites (www.yahoo.com ). Each room oozes texture and color accents in a way characteristic of Miami’s vibrant aesthetic.
Dua Miami is notable for its upscale amenities and signature experiences. The hotel’s extensive facilities include an on-site spa, a fitness center, and a restaurant and bars that nod to Miami’s beachside glamour. A highlight is the expansive rooftop deck, which features two infinity pools overlooking downtown Miami, a hot tub and cold plunge, and lounge seating – a dramatic urban oasis of glamour and relaxation (www.duamiamihotel.com ). The rooftop also hosts poolside events (DJ parties, yoga, meditation sessions) on weekends, giving locals and guests a resort-style experience with the city skyline as a backdrop. Inside, the DUA Lounge on the second floor is a stylish cocktail bar with cozy seating nooks and a terrace with a fireplace, where live DJs spin Thursday through Saturday nights (www.miamilivingmagazine.com ) (www.duamiamihotel.com ). Across the hotel, the “Dua ethos” encourages playful luxury: guests receive an in-room “indulgence card” offering choices like handmade treats or exotic cocktails on arrival, tailored to personal preferences (www.miamilivingmagazine.com ). This bespoke approach exemplifies why Dua Brickell is more than just a place to sleep; it’s a lifestyle destination in Miami’s rapidly evolving Brickell district.
Events and Programming
Dua Miami Brickell buzzes with a mix of relaxed poolside gatherings and late-night social events rather than traditional concerts. By day, the rooftop pool deck is an active venue: Saturdays see afternoon DJ sets and wellness classes (such as group yoga or guided sound-bath meditation by the pool) (www.miamilivingmagazine.com ) (www.duamiamihotel.com ). Evenings and weekends bring a nightlife vibe. The DUA Lounge bar hosts live DJ entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights, typically starting around 10:00 pm, attracting a crowd of local influencers, hotel guests and Brickell professionals looking for upscale nightlife (www.miamilivingmagazine.com ) (www.duamiamihotel.com ). The lounge’s calendar is refreshed weekly with themed music or guest DJ nights, and special events like wine tastings or small performances occasionally fit the lounge’s intimate vibe. When hotel groups or external promoters host functions, the hotel’s extensive event spaces (58,000 square feet total) can become venues for conferences, fashion shows or private parties. For example, the George Ballroom alone can seat 280 (or 350 standing) and is often used for corporate galas or weddings (thevendry.com ).
Notable recent events have included the hotel’s own grand opening celebration in 2024 and partnerships with local culture: chef-hosted dinners at the signature restaurant AHU|MAR (a wood-fired Italian seafood concept by Victor Rosado) (www.miamilivingmagazine.com ) (www.miamilivingmagazine.com ), pop-up mixology nights on the pool deck, and even pet-friendly “puppy yoga” mornings that attract both residents and visitors. However, Dua is not typically a ticketed concert venue; there are no stadium tours or big-name acts scheduled. Visitors seeking live music or DJs should check the hotel’s event calendar or local listings – many pool parties and lounge nights are free or low-cover events produced by the hotel itself. In general, public events at Dua are boutique in scale, focusing on curated experiences, approaching Mia daytime relaxation, fashion lunches, and intimate performances rather than large-scale concerts.
Tickets and Booking
Unlike a dedicated concert hall, Dua Miami’s events usually do not involve traditional ticket sales through box offices. Most nightclub or lounge events at Dua (like a Thursday DJ night) are open to all adults without pre-booked tickets; sometimes there may be a door charge on busy nights or free entry before a certain time. The best way to stay informed is to monitor the hotel’s official event announcements or sign up for their newsletter – special parties or wellness classes (like pool yoga) might require online sign-up or a small fee through the hotel’s website or partners. For larger gatherings or private functions (corporate events, weddings, conferences), clients work directly with the hotel’s sales team to “book” the event space, often through Marriott’s meeting planning portal or by inquiry.
Booking a stay at Dua Miami follows standard hotel procedures. Rooms and packages can be reserved through Marriott’s booking channels or by calling the hotel directly, and Marriott Bonvoy loyalty members can earn or redeem points here. Room rates vary by season, but guests can generally expect prices in the high end of Brickell—often several hundred dollars per night. Keeping an eye on promotions (off-season discounts or advance purchase rates) can save money. For high-demand dates (such as around Miami Art Week or major conventions), rooms sell out quickly, so booking at least a few weeks in advance is advised. When planning to attend a popular in-house event, arriving early by 8-9pm or earlier helps secure a good spot; some visitors even make a hotel stay of it if they intend to enjoy the full Dua Miami vibe. Overall, treat Dua’s events programming more like elite club nights – check policies for cover charges vs. free entry, reserve tables if needed, and use the Marriott website for reliable room reservations.
Seating and Layout
Dua’s layout combines flexible event spaces with intimate lounge areas. Inside the DUA Lounge downstairs, seating is lounge-style: think plush couches in private nooks, high-top tables by the bar, and a terrace with a fireplace outside along the second floor. There is no fixed “stage” in the lounge, but DJs set up near the main bar area, so the best “seats” for hearing the music are center-floor near the DJ booth or at tables just beside it. Some guests prefer the cozy banquettes tucked into corners for a more private chat, but those may be farther from the DJ. Bottle-service VIP sections consist of curtained sofa areas that can be reserved in advance; these offer space for groups with guaranteed seating and dedicated service (though at a significant cost). Overall, the lounge is relatively small (around 2,800 square feet total (www.duamiamihotel.com )) and tends to fill up quickly on weekend nights, so arriving early is wise.
Up on the roof, the Dua Pool area is laid out around two long infinity pools. Lounge chairs and cabanas line the deck edge facing downtown views, all available on a first-come basis (www.duamiamihotel.com ). During pool parties (e.g. DJ Saturdays), there is no formal seating plan – people mill about poolside or stand by the DJ setup. If you want a seat, claim a chair on the sunny side; note that some shaded patios and daybeds are often exclusive to hotel guests who reserve them in advance (especially on busy weekends). Acoustically, the rooftop is open-air, so sound carries differently – keep this in mind if you step away for drinks or for conversation, as the DJ speakers are balanced for the pool area, not for closed rooms.
When Dua hosts a banquet or concert in its ballrooms, the staff arranges seating according to the event. The main George Ballroom can be set for 280 guests in banquet style or up to 350 standing (thevendry.com ). Smaller meeting rooms (nine in total) handle groups from a few dozen to around a hundred. Because these event rooms are indoors and carpeted, acoustics are crisp and amenities (lighting rigging, sound gear) are in-house – the ballroom even includes built-in A/V equipment for presentations or live shows (thevendry.com ). In any event space, the best seats depend on format: front-center is ideal for viewing a stage or screen, whereas side areas might be good for mingling or buffet access. The Vendry listing confirms the ballroom is fully equipped with audiovisual gear and climate control (thevendry.com ).
Getting There and Parking
Dua Miami Brickell is centrally located at 1300 South Miami Avenue (corner of Miami Avenue and 11th Street) in the heart of Brickell. If you’re driving, the building has an on-site parking garage (Dua Brickell Parking, addressed at 1300 S. Miami Ave). Valet parking is available at the hotel entrance; self-parking spaces can be booked through services like BestParking. Rates are steep by city standards: expect roughly $15–20 per hour (around $30 for two hours) (www.bestparking.com ), or daily rates of $50+ if you stay all day. During events, paid street parking is very limited, so reserving a spot or using valet is recommended. Rideshare drop-offs and taxi stands are convenient: the hotel’s porte-cochère is on Miami Avenue (southbound side), and drivers usually line up nearby for pickups.
Public transit is another option. The Brickell Metrorail Station (part of Miami’s subway-like rail network) is about a 10-minute walk north at SW 8th Street and South Miami Ave. Immediately adjacent is the free Metromover light-rail, which loops through Brickell and downtown and stops at Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village, both only a few blocks from the hotel. Several Miami-Dade Metrobus routes also pass along SW 8th Street and Brickell Avenue. For day-evening visitors, the Metromover is convenient (runs 5am–12:30am daily) for hopping around downtown without parking hassles. If coming from Miami International Airport, the fastest way is to take the Orange Line Metrorail to Brickell Station, then walk or ride-share to the final short distance (ride from Brickell to 1300 S. Miami takes under 5 minutes by car).
For cyclists, there are Citi Bike stations nearby (Brickell City Centre has multiple docks). If you plan to explore Miami Beach or beyond after a night out, note that southbound I-95 is close (exit at SW 11th Street) and the MacArthur Causeway to downtown beaches is a few miles north. Overall, arriving early (especially for drive-in events in evening) is wise to beat traffic and find parking. By night, Brickell’s streets calm down, but rideshare waits remain high, so allow extra time after an event to catch a car or trip to the Metrorail (the last trains leave just after midnight).
Inside the Venue
Upon entering Dua Miami, guests pass through a sleek ground-floor lobby. Check-in is at a 24/7 front desk; expect ID and a credit card hold for incidentals. The interior ambiance is modern and art-centric. The lobby and common areas are open and well-lit, with contemporary furnishings and an accent color palette (teals, golds, pinks). Staff are attentive – Porter services and doormen help with luggage and directions. Security is unobtrusive but present, typical for a luxury downtown hotel.
Food and drink options inside Dua include AHU|MAR (the main restaurant specializing in wood-fired cuisine and seafood, open for breakfast lunch and dinner) (www.miamilivingmagazine.com ) (www.duamiamihotel.com ), plus a casual grab-and-go market in the lobby for snacks. The Lounge bar (2nd floor) serves craft cocktails, wine and light bites into the late night (7pm–2am, Thurs–Sat) (www.duamiamihotel.com ). The rooftop Pool Bar provides daytime cocktails and small plates (open roughly 11am–6:30pm daily) (www.duamiamihotel.com ). Food service at the pool deck is delivered to chairs, so you can relax without missing a beat. Outside food and drink are not allowed, but the menu has local favorites (ceviches, fresh salads, ice-cold smoothies). The hotel does permit professional camera equipment by arrangement (for some events) but casually taking photos or videos on your phone is fine.
As for facilities, expect all the modern conveniences: free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, charging stations in the lounge and lobby, and luggage storage if you arrive early. Restrooms are immaculate and stocked with premium toiletries. There is a coat-check area near the ballroom for large events. Merchandise is minimal, though you might find branded robes or travel accessories at the concierge desk. For business travelers, there are printing/office services and a business center (often by reservation). An interesting hotel feature is the personalized “indulgence card”: on arrival, guests choose from options like herbal tea blends, chocolates, scented candles or curated mini cocktail kits – small gestures that make the Dua mark on the stay (www.miamilivingmagazine.com ).
Accessibility is well addressed. All guest rooms and most suites are ADA-compliant, with options like roll-in showers, visual alarms and other accessible features (www.duamiamihotel.com ). Pathways to public spaces are barrier-free – a ramp leads to the lobby, and an elevator provides direct access to all floors (including the rooftop pool) (www.duamiamihotel.com ). The hotel staff is trained for inclusivity; for example, they provide TTY telephones on request and printed materials in braille or large type. Visitors will find that even the pool deck and restaurant have no-step entrances via elevator lifts. Dua also welcomes families with teens, though note that the lounge and bar are 21+ after 8pm. Pets are not typically allowed in guest rooms or dining areas, but service animals are accommodated under ADA.”
The overall atmosphere inside Dua is confident yet relaxed. By day, the lobby and pool are serene (guests reading by the pool with skyline views, couples enjoying spa treatments). By night, the lounge comes alive with music and conversation. Staff jump from polished to party mode, ready to pour your evening drink. Connectivity (Wi-Fi and cell coverage) is excellent everywhere. If anything, one quirk visitors mention is a bit of urban noise: some rooms face the active downtown or nearby train line, so light sleepers might notice city sounds. Many travelers suggest short waiting at the fancy rooftop to soak in the wide-angle city vista before events start or before sunset; the view from up there is one of Dua’s most special features.
Nearby Amenities
Dua Brickell is surrounded by plenty of dining, shopping and entertainment options within a short walk. For pre- or post-show meals, the area has diverse choices. Within a block is Mary Brickell Village, a pedestrian plaza with restaurants and bars (e.g. Quinto La Huella for upscale Argentinian, Novikov Asian eatery, Kitchen 305, Yardbird for Southern comfort food). A 5-minute stroll west brings you to Brickell City Centre, a new shopping complex with eateries like La Centrale (Italian food hall), Tacology (Mexican), and an upscale cinema. Local favorite spots include Coyo Taco for casual Mexican street food and Publix or Whole Foods (0.3 mile north) for groceries or quick bites.
For nightlife, besides Dua’s own venues, Brickell has several rooftop bars and clubs in easy reach. On weekends, trendy spots like Rec Room and Komodo see happy-hours, and late-night spots like Brickell’s rooftop bars (Watr at W Hotel, Sugar at East) are just a quick taxi away. If you prefer a quieter scene, there are lounges in luxury hotels nearby (JW Marriott Marquis, Four Seasons) serving cocktails with piano or bass music. Transportation after an event is straightforward: Brickell has many rideshare pickups, and taxis queue along Brickell Avenue. There is no traffic or open-container rule in Brickell as strict as South Beach’s, but still use common sense at night (stay on well-lit streets). The Metromover runs until after midnight, which can be a convenient free ride northeast to connect with other lines.
Nearby lodging and services: Dua itself is a hotel, but if traveling companions need different price points, other nearby hotels include the W Miami (party vibe), the Four Points by Sheraton (next door), and high-end options like the Thompson and Mandarin Oriental across the river. Need something else? The Brickell area has pharmacies, 24-hour gyms, and a Urgent Care clinic within a few blocks. Travelers often arrive an hour or two early for an event; a good bet is to have dinner nearby 90–120 minutes before showtime (about two hours before DJ nights begin, for example). Late-night food options are limited after 10pm, so you might want to pack a light snack or plan to stop by a diner on the way back. As always in Miami, be sun-smart if you hit the rooftop pool: bring sunglasses and sunscreen even in the evening if you plan to lounge before sunset.
What Makes This Venue Special
Dua Miami Brickell stands out for its fusion of bold design, personalized luxury and urban energy. It occupies a landmark Miami building originally crafted by top designers: Arquitectonica’s skyline tower with a programmable LED facade (www.prnewswire.com ), and interior touches by art-forward creatives (Philippe Starck in rooms, Yabu Pushelberg in common areas (www.prnewswire.com ) (www.yahoo.com )). This means guests are literally bathed in art and light – the hotel’s exterior often displays dynamic light shows after dark, and the interior feels more like a gallery than a generic hotel décor. Culturally, Dua reflects Miami’s globally minded scene: its Albanian name and owner (Kastrati Group) hint at Miami’s international investment growth, while its culinary offerings (like the wood-fired Italian/seafood menu) bring fresh, inspired flavors to the Brickell dining landscape (www.miamilivingmagazine.com ) (www.duamiamihotel.com ).
Another unique feature is Dua’s “Mark” experience. It’s part of Marriott’s approach in the Autograph Collection, but Dua made it its own. Every guest can select a personal “indulgence” at check-in – from custom chocolates and craft cocktails to spa treatments or fitness classes – setting a tone of tailored pampering (www.miamilivingmagazine.com ). No two stays feel exactly the same, because Dua staff meet each preference on arrival. This added touch has become something visitors love talking about: you might see guests sipping on a locally-made Mezcal or unwinding with a mini aromatherapy kit chosen just for them. It’s part of what people remember – not just the rooftop view or the DJs, but that they felt specially catered to.
The hotel also carries a bit of Miami lore. This was the home of the late-night S Bar and Katsuya (SLS Brickell’s famed dining venues), and Dua carries forward that legacy with new restaurants and bars that mix fine dining with a club atmosphere. Over the years, the SLS theme parties and celebrity visits made the building a ‘scene hotspot’ in Brickell; today Dua aims to continue that vibe. For example, if you’re into Miami’s pet-friendly trend, Dua’s Saturday puppy yoga on the pool deck has become a local Instagram fave, blending wellness with the playful energy of “Miami fun”. Having a loyal DJ fan base from the SLS era, Dua’s lounge regularly hosts talent and nights that draw crowds. All these factors – eye-catching architecture, an emphasis on bespoke experiences, and a lineup of lively events – make Dua a beloved spot for both Miami residents and travelers who seek out places with character. Guests often cite first-hand that Dua feels more like a boutique art-gallery-hotel than a cookie-cutter chain, which is exactly the intention of the Autograph Collection and what makes the venue special.
Visitor Tips and Information
Dua Miami is an upscale venue, so plan accordingly. The dress code for the evening lounges and pool parties is smart casual or “Miami chic”: think nice jeans/slacks and a button-down for men, and summer cocktail attire for women (no flip-flops, athletic wear or low-cut tank tops). The hotel tends to enforce ID checks (guests generally must be 21+ to enter the lounge after hours; the pool area can allow minors earlier in the day if accompanying a family member, but confirm before bringing kids). Always bring a valid photo ID and your confirmation (hotel or event) – even if you’ve paid, you may need ID to enter. The venues are cashless – the bar and restaurant accept cards and digital pay, so no need to carry cash for drinks. Tipping bartenders at least 15-20% is customary in Miami nightlife.
When planning your visit, avoid common mistakes: on site, the traffic in Brickell can be heavy during weekday rush hours, so allow extra travel time if coming from far. If driving, double-check which side streets are one-way and use the hotel’s address for GPS (1300 S. Miami Ave) – Brickell’s street grid can be confusing to outsiders. Once inside Dua, take the time to explore all levels: don’t miss the balcony terrace in the lounge (with fireplace) or the full span of the rooftop deck. On pool days, remember it can be very hot in Miami sun – staying hydrated and wearing reef-safe sunscreen is smart. The rooftop pool is open from sunrise to sunset (food & beverage service 11am–6:30pm) (www.duamiamihotel.com ); on Saturdays DJs play 1–5pm (www.duamiamihotel.com ), so schedule your swim around those hours if you prefer quiet or partying.
Accessibility note: as mentioned, Dua is ADA-compliant throughout (www.duamiamihotel.com ) (www.duamiamihotel.com ). The accessible suite features (roll-in showers, alarms, visual aids) mean guests with mobility or hearing needs will find comfortable rooms. The elevators reach all common areas, and the staff will gladly assist wheelchair users. It’s not a monumentally large property, so getting around from lobby to pool deck is straightforward. The hotel’s inclusive amenities also include gender-neutral restrooms (in the lobby bar) and baby-changing stations in restrooms – small conveniences that make a big difference.
Finally, special note on noise and timing: Brickell is a vibrant financial district by day and quiets somewhat at night, but Dua’s downtown location means some traffic or train noise can be heard in rooms (especially on lower floors). Light sleepers may want to request a high floor, and the hotel provides white noise machines or extra pillows on request. Late-night transportation is plentiful (Uber/Lyft wait times average 5–10 minutes in Brickell) but do consider public transit if staying out very late – the Metromover closes just after midnight, so plan accordingly if you’re returning to the airport late. As always in Miami, bring layers! The pool deck and lounge are outdoors or have open-air elements, so while the sun is strong, once inside the AC lounges are cool – a light jacket can help during the night.

Many lounge nights or pool parties are free or open entry (sometimes with a cover charge at the door).

What transportation options are there late at night?
After late-night events, Uber and Lyft are the most reliable options; cars usually queue nearby Brickell Avenue. Miami taxis are scarcer, so ride-hail apps are recommended. The Metromover runs until just after midnight (check schedules); Metrorail service closes around 11pm. If staying late, plan ahead: either pre-book a ride or be near a Metromover station. Remember downtown Brickell is safe but use common-sense travel late at night.
Are there any pool or dress codes I should know about?
For the rooftop pool and pool bar, standard swimwear and resort attire are expected. Nudity or topless sunbathing, for example, is not allowed. The lounge (and outdoor terrace by the lounge) enforces a mostly 21+ policy at night, and the hotel’s general rule is neat, casual attire. Flip-flops and shorts are fine by day, but later in the evening, dress shoes and collared shirts (for men) or similar smart attire (for women) are advisable.
Is there a coat check or bag policy during events?
For large events in the ballroom or special club nights, the hotel often provides a coat check (especially during cooler months). In the lounge, small bags and cameras are allowed, but check with the hosts. Large backpacks, outside food/drink, and weapons are prohibited. Always bring minimal belongings: the staff screen guests on entry for security. If in doubt, contact the hotel before attending a particular event.
