Located on the banks of the Miami River, in the midst of the city’s banking district, the EPIC Miami is a popular choice for financial wheelers and dealers. Up on the roof, find two sparkling pools with plenty of space to lounge and immaculate views of Downtown's waterfront skyline. Day passes offer lounge chairs on a first-come, first-served basis, but private cabanas for you and your pals are also a good value. Either way, enjoy poolside service from the hotel's rooftop restaurant, Area 31, and live DJs lighting up the deck on Saturdays. Starting at $40 per person via Resort Pass
