The honest take
Book the Four Seasons at The Surf Club: it's $601 a night less, rated higher (9.4 vs 9, off a smaller but more consistent review base), and it's the more architecturally serious property. The EDITION earns its keep with sheer volume of entertainment - ice rink, bowling, nightclub, two pools - which suits a livelier stay. Both sit on Collins Avenue but 8.1km apart, in different stretches of the beach, so pick based on which end of Miami Beach you actually want to be on.
The look and the feel
The Miami Beach EDITION
The Miami Beach EDITION occupies a 1955 Morris Lapidus building reworked by Ian Schrager and Yabu Pushelberg, and it still carries Lapidus's showman instincts - double-height lobby, terrazzo, a restless sense of spectacle. It's less a hotel than a small entertainment district: an ice rink indoors, a nightclub that gets loud, a bowling alley, two pools stacked with cabanas. The Matador Room leans into dark wood and jungle print for its Latin menu; the Lobby Bar is where people gather before heading somewhere louder. It draws a crowd that wants Miami Beach as performance - see and be seen, day into night without much of a pause.
Good for groups or a livelier stay who want nightlife, activity and pool scenes built into the hotel itself.
Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club
The Surf Club opened in 1930, designed by Russell Pancoast, with the current hotel wrapped around it by Richard Meier's glass towers and interiors by Joseph Dirand. The result is a strange, successful pairing: Dirand's pared-back French rationalism - travertine, bronze, ivory linen - inside a building that still has Bath and Tennis Club bones. Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and custom furniture rather than statement decor. Le Sirenuse Miami, an outpost of the Amalfi original, does the dining; the Champagne Bar is understated rather than a scene. It suits people who want old-money Miami Beach quiet over spectacle - couples, design-minded travellers, families using the kids' club.
Good for couples, families, and anyone who wants restrained, architecturally considered luxury over nightlife.
The Surf Club, being cheaper, gives up the EDITION's dedicated entertainment stack - no ice rink, no bowling alley, no nightclub, one fewer pool - trading activity for quiet and architectural pedigree.
The Surf Club is the more beautiful place to be: Pancoast's 1930s shell paired with Dirand's restraint has a coherence and calm that Lapidus's showier, louder EDITION doesn't attempt.

“Fantastic stay, resort, and service”
We had an outstanding stay at the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club with our son. The service was excellent from start to finish — from the initial valet greeting all the way through departure and checkout. Even measured against the typically very high Four Seasons standards, the team here operates at the highest level. Everything felt smooth, attentive, and genuinely well-executed. The pool setup is terrific. We

“Only spot to stay in Miami with 5 star service”
This is our 2nd time at Surfside. We love the location as it is away from the fray of South Beach and has all the elegance and level of service one hopes at a Four Seasons. It is a beautiful hotel with gorgeous common areas. Multiple pools and spots to eat through out the day. If you plan to eat at the adjoining restaurant Surf Club make a reservation. They are not part of the Four Seasons in that you can expect a
