Where to Stay
Freehand Miami
What guests say
“The coolest hostel in Miami — a design hotel that also has dorms. The Broken Shaker bar is genuinely one of the best cocktail spots in the city.”
“Met amazing people, great pool, and the bar means you never have to leave to have a great evening. Budget Miami sorted.”
Kimpton Surfcomber
What guests say
“Perfect South Beach location with a pool deck that overlooks the beach. The Kimpton service standard means complimentary wine hour every evening. Love this hotel.”
“Stylish, well-located, and the staff go above and beyond. The Social Miami restaurant for breakfast with a bloody mary is the perfect way to start a beach day.”
1 Hotel South Beach
What guests say
“The most beautiful hotel in Miami — sustainable luxury that doesn't feel worthy, it just feels extraordinary. The rooftop pool and the beach are both spectacular.”
“Seven pools, a stunning spa, and the most photogenic property on South Beach. The Farm to Flame restaurant is excellent and the beach service is flawless.”
The Setai Miami Beach
What guests say
“Three temperature-graduated ocean-view pools and a level of service that makes the Setai the best hotel in Florida. Asian-influenced serenity on South Beach. Extraordinary.”
“The most serene 5-star hotel I have experienced in America. The suites are vast, the restaurant is exceptional, and the pools at night are magical.”

- ✓South Beach is expensive — eat Cuban food in Little Havana and save the premium restaurant budget for 1 or 2 great meals
- ✓Avoid Miami in July–August — brutal heat plus hurricane season is not worth it
- ✓The Design District and Brickell are where Miamians actually eat — more authentic and better value than SoBe
- ✓Uber/Lyft works well but rent a car for any day trip (Everglades, Keys) — public transit is minimal outside Miami Beach
- ✓Book club/bar entry in advance for weekends — Miami nightlife queues are real and the venues are genuinely spectacular
