The Best Hotel in Downtown, Miami and Miami Beach

Background Illustration for Hotels

Miami’s skyline continues to grow by leaps and bounds. With Downtown experiencing a renaissance of sorts, the hotel scene here isn’t just for business anymore. In fact, hotels that once relied solely on their Monday–Thursday traffic are now bustling on weekends, with a larger focus on cocktails around the rooftop pool and less on the business center. These hotels offer proximate access to Downtown’s burgeoning food and cocktail scene, and historic sights, and are a short Uber ride away from Miami’s beaches.
