neighborhood in Miami, Florida, United States
Brickell ( BRIK-əl) is a neighborhood in Miami, Florida, historically referred to as Southside, located directly east of Interstate 95, north of Coconut Grove, and directly south of the Central Business District and the Miami River. A significant part of Greater Downtown Miami, Brickell is known as the financial district of Miami, as well as for the South Florida region.
Brickell was founded in the mid-19th century, growing to become Miami's "Millionaire's Row" in the early 20th century after the construction of lavish mansions along Brickell Avenue by Mary Brickell; both the avenue and neighborhood were named for Mary Brickell and her husband, William Brickell.
By the 1970s, office towers, hotels and apartments began replacing the historic mansions.

Hotel AKA Brickell (formerly The Conrad)
It sounded better as The Conrad, but alas, things change.
Four Seasons Hotel Miami
Has a large pool deck at the seventh-floor lobby level with a view of Biscayne Bay. This hotel takes more on an arty approach to impress you, having some rare paintings and the decor to go with it. Expect everything you will from any other Four Seasons. In your expectations include that the staff will have the "Miami-tude".
Mandarin Oriental Hotel
From the Mandarin Hotel Group. This is considered the most luxurious (and expensive) of them all. The facilities are top notch and so are the staff (depending on when you go, their turnover is way higher than it should be for a luxury chain of this size and reputation). It is commonplace to find rappers and A-listers in the pool or walking through the lobby. It is also isolated on its own island (Brickell Key) which to some seems more of a hassle than an amenity.
