Hotel Rooms in
Art Deco on South Beach, waterfront luxury in Brickell, and hidden gems in Wynwood. Miami's hotel scene is as layered as the city itself.
The Elser Hotel Miami
Spacious rooms with high-quality beds and pillows overlook the port and Bayside. The rooftop pool, gym, and restaurant are excellent. Staff consistently go above and beyond to make guests feel welcomed and cared for.
JW Marriott Marquis Miami
Rooms are spacious with comfortable beds, but cleanliness is inconsistent—one guest found black mold in the shower and uncleaned carpets. Front desk service varies wildly from excellent to unhelpful. Expect hidden fees and potential issues with housekeeping requests.
citizenM Miami World Center
Rooms are tiny cruise-ship-sized spaces with comfortable beds and good soundproofing, but the hotel excels at location near downtown and the arena. Staff is friendly but stretched thin, housekeeping can't handle same-day requests, and wifi is weak. Pay the $20 for breakfast.
Hilton Miami Downtown
Rooms are spacious and clean with great views of Miami skyline or Biscayne Bay, though one guest found hair on the bed and shower. Staff delivers excellent service. Rooftop events create noise problems for some guests.
Hyatt Regency Miami
Rooms are spacious and clean but dated with thin windows that let highway noise in. Staff excels at service, especially valet and front desk. The downtown location makes getting around easy, though elevators sometimes malfunction and the gym is cramped.
Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay
Staff quality swings wildly here. Housekeeping excels and some front desk staff genuinely care, but service often feels rushed and mistakes happen regularly. Rooms stay clean, but expect basic frustrations like spotty hot water and no complimentary drinking water.
DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay
Rooms are spacious with bay views but dirty windows, worn carpeting, and broken amenities like toilets and AC. Staff ranges from helpful to dismissive. Heavy ongoing construction blocks the main entrance and creates confusion, while management ignores complaints. Skip it unless you find a steep discount.
