bitob Posted February 19 #1 Share Posted February 19 Trying to figure out which hotel Regent might use in Miami I did a search (not an easy thing to search) and came up with 2 possibilities: Biltmore in Coral Gables and the Intercontinental Does anyone have any recent information on which Miami hotels Regent is using?

gcorgain Posted February 19 #3 Share Posted February 19 This is a fairly popular topic here. I think they usually use at least two hotels for each sailing. In addition to these two I have seen Mandoran OriemtAl posted here and they put us in the Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne. I believe there have been others as well.

Brownie54 Posted February 19 #4 Share Posted February 19 For our Grandeur cruise this March-April, they are using the Biltmore. We are staying elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJANDH Posted February 19 #5 Share Posted February 19 We stayed at the Oriental last time we used a Regent hotel. Nice hotel but not a great location for walking to town for dinner. We now pass on the Regent hotel and stay at the Intercontinental. Great hotel with views of the cruise port. Short Uber to the ship, bypassing the Regent bus transfer and all the crowds and wait time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this time on our Grandeur cruise there is a music festival across the street which is going to conclude at the hotel with music in the lobby from 10PM until 3AM so we're not staying there. Regent also told us they are using the Biltmore for the Mar-Apr cruises, We are looking at the AKA Brickell if anyone has any info on this hotel.

czardas Posted February 20 #8 Share Posted February 20 We were in the Mandarin Oriental for our November cruise, however it was being demolished early this year, to make way for a new apartment complex. Other passengers were located at the Intercontinental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitob Posted February 20 Author #11 Share Posted February 20 I decided to take the hotel credit and use points to stay at my hotel of choice for free. i am adding an extra night and the amount they ask for an extra night pp is absurd in the extreme. 549 pp the hotel credit is 150 pp what is wrong with this picture? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s always been like that - absolutely ridiculous, wonder if anyone ever buys extra hotel nights with Regent 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In comparison, I am on SS to Alaska in June. We are at the Captain Cook with one night included. I added a night. SS charged exactly what it would cost me to book it myself on line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitob Posted February 20 Author #16 Share Posted February 20 SS is charging per room - that's how it should be Regent is charging per person. Disgraceful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've not already done so, you should eat a dinner up in the Crow's Nest. Stunning views (when the weather cooperates). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseabelsea Posted February 20 #20 Share Posted February 20 Mandarin Miami is taking bookings through May 2025…it is slated to eventually be replaced with two towers, one a Mandarin residences only and the other a combination Mandarin hotel + residences. Might be delayed further, but that’s the current plan. FABULOUS hotel, great bar scene with live music, and the views are gorgeous 👍🏻 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back Roader Posted February 20 #21 Share Posted February 20 We are on the Grandeur cruise from Miami to Miami on Feb. 27 and Regent put us at the Biltmore for one night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2SailingNomads Posted February 20 #22 Share Posted February 20 We were on Grandeur over Christmas and it was Intercontinental now on Splendor and was Hyatt Coral Gables, don't know if it matters but both times we booked a PH category. Reading how others got much better hotels especially for what we paid for the Grandeur PH A doesn't make me a in a rush to run back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no problem with the Intercontinental...Bayshore Market with good restaurants nearby... however we would not have liked a Coral Gables hotel (mostly residential area). What I found unacceptable was the transport to the pier organization at the Intercontinental. Next time a taxi will do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
