The 18 Best Hotels in Miami Beach

1 Hotel South Beach

Miami Beach makes for the perfect city break - blending beautiful white sand beaches, world-renowned nightlife, a dizzying array of eateries, and a good dose of designer shopping. A place to come and relax during the day; party at night. It also has a particularly good collection of hotels. Most of the best hotels in Miami Beach are located right on the beach, however, those that are not are usually just a stroll away. Miami chic consists of Mediterranean inspired design mixed with cutting-edge contemporary style - essentially beach sleek. Our Hotel Gurus have hand-selected a collection of the best Miami Beach hotels picked on their location, amenities, service, and style. So, why not browse through our picks to start planning your next break?
