The Most Expensive Hotels in Miami

Miami is all about extravagance. From its beautiful stretches of beach to the luxury shopping and dining options and then there is, of course, that nightlife. The city also has a wonderful range of art deco architecture (best seen along the coast) much of which has been turned into swanky hotels. With so much on offer, it is hardly surprising that there is a wide range of luxury hotels across the city. However, if you are really looking for the crème de la crème why not browse through our Hotel Guru's collection of the most expensive hotels in Miami?

For utter decadence

If you have not already heard about The Villa Casa Casuarina it is really a destination unto itself. Styled by Versace, and once his home, this is a place of pure exuberance. A treasure trove of remarkable handmade furniture, stained glass windows, murals, and over-the-top everything!

For the location

The Setai boasts an oceanfront setting on Ocean Drive in the vibrant Miami Beach neighbourhood. Contemporary suites lend wonderful sea views. Complete with a spa and four notable restaurants. The perfect base to explore Miami's nightlife and luxury shopping.
Nautilus is a chic 1950s style hotel designed with casual elegance. The floors are marble, there is plenty of light, and the rooms are spacious and subtly decadent. Outside a large pool is surrounded by cabanas but the real lure is the private beach access.

For the design

Taking its design inspiration from nature, 1 Hotel South Beach offers pared back elegance with fabulous sea views. Interiors, decorated in neutral hues, feature unpolished wood and plenty of glass - the feel is more Scandi-chic than Miami beach and that's exactly what makes this a standout stay.

For families

Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club is a 1930s classic, renowned as a family-friendly destination. The spa and grand champagne bar ensure an indulgent stay for adults, children will be kept busy in the Kids Club, and the Italian restaurant will be a hit with everyone!
