In Downtown Miami, you'll find a vibrant mix of trendy fashion boutiques, enchanting jewelry stores and unique gift shops lining the historic streets and housed within sleek, modern, indoor and outdoor malls. Here are the places you won’t want to miss when you’re in the mood for a shopping spree.
Brickell City Centre: The Ultimate Shopping Paradise
Brickell City Centre is so big — three blocks and 5.4 million square feet (about twice the area of a large shopping mall) — that it has its own Metromover station, which provides one of the most convenient ways to get to this retail hub in the heart of Downtown Miami. While exploring, look up to see the Climate Ribbon, an elevated canopy that provides shade, promotes air circulation and gathers rainwater. The numerous stores, restaurants and bars that can be reached by elevators are designed to be fully accessible.
Discover Top Fashion and Tech Brands
From fine Italian fashions, fragrances and lingerie at 120% Lino, Acqua Di Parma and Intimissimi to the Spain-based fast-fashion mega-chain ZARA, Brickell City Centre is a fashion-lover's dream. In addition to one of the largest Saks Fifth Avenue locations, it has unique stores and well-known brands, such as Abercrombie & Fitch, BOSS, Beach Bunny Swimwear, Bath & Body Works, CHANEL, Coach, Cole Haan, MAC, Porsche Design, Sephora, Sur la Table, Tommy Bahama and Victoria's Secret. Shoppers will find technology galore at the Apple store, the largest in Florida. You’ll also find a Lucid Motors Studio showroom, the first showroom the innovative maker of fully electric vehicles opened on the east coast of the U.S.
A World Of Restaurant Options & Entertainment
Brickell City Centre’s diverse food and drink options range from Cuban cuisine at Marabu and authentic Italian dishes at Casa Tua Cucina to Latin American flavors at Quinto and the delectable offerings of the Spain-based bakery-restaurant Rodilla. You can enjoy Asian-influenced cocktails and tapas at Sugar, a 40th-floor, indoor-outdoor space atop the EAST Miami Hotel.
