About Miami

Famously glamorous, Miami glitters under the Florida sunshine. This vibrant city attracts everyone from well-dressed business travellers to curious cultural buffs, eager partygoers and families looking to kick back at the beach. Accommodation options vary hugely, including cosy guesthouses, swish skyscrapers and classic beach resorts, fit for whole host of tastes and budgets. Whatever the reason for your trip, our list of the best places to stay in Miami has it all.

Some of our Miami Collections:

Downtown Miami reflects the city’s growing status as a financial powerhouse, so you can expect gleaming towers and an efficient sense of purpose. If you’re here for work, then Brickell — ‘Miami’s Wall Street’ — is the place to be. Come evening, the district is transformed, with top-notch bars, restaurants and clubs within easy reach. For a more relaxed vibe, look towards the old Art Deco hotels of South Beach. Properties near the beach promise glorious sea views, a plethora of water sports, chic cafés and eateries, and ample opportunities to soak up the sunshine. You'll find our guide to the city's neighbourhoods here.

Keen culture aficionados should take the time to visit the Bass Museum of Art, the Wolfsonian FU Design Museum, the grafitti at Wynwood Walls and the Vixcaya Museum & Gardens. Much of what makes Miami fascinating is its blend of cultures, languages and food. Stroll through the Art Deco district for a sense of the past, or head to Máximo Gómez Park in Little Havana, where you’ll see rows of people playing dominos and chatting in Spanish. Guided walking tours — some focusing on history, others on food — offer the best chance of getting under the skin of this complex city, with its many overlapping communities.

If you’re travelling as a family, the Zoological Wildlife Foundation promises a great day out. The Everglades and the Florida Keys will delight outdoorsy types and wildlife enthusiasts, too. Don’t miss out on sailing trips, kayaking, swimming, fishing or putting your feet up in a buzzy beach bar for the afternoon.
