Best for travelers who want a resort feel, on-site signature dining by José Andrés, two heated pools (including a dedicated adults-only pool), and a larger event/wedding program.

Best for guests who want to be on Ocean Drive in South Beach with immediate access to the boardwalk, nightlife and beaches while staying in a familiar Marriott product.
When Andaz Miami Beach Resort & Spa wins: pick Andaz if you want resort-style amenities (two heated pools, a prominent full-service spa Ondara, José Andrés dining), a larger property with more suites, and clear family + adults-only pool separation. It’s better for on-site dining variety and event space.
When Marriott Stanton South Beach wins: choose the Stanton for location — it sits at the quieter southern tip of South Beach steps from Ocean Drive, the boardwalk and nearby South Pointe Park, plus a compact, dependable Marriott experience with multiple on-site restaurants and lounges.
Bottom line: both are branded beachfront hotels in Miami Beach but serve slightly different needs — Andaz is Mid‑Beach resort-first with stronger spa/culinary identity, Marriott Stanton anchors South Beach’s quieter southern end with a convenient Ocean Drive address and straightforward hotel amenities.
