Downtown Miami hotels at a glance

What to expect from Downtown Miami hotels

Downtown Miami's hotel stock skews toward four-star business and convention properties, which means you get reliable amenities, meeting space, and bay views at mid-range to premium pricing.

The neighborhood runs from NW 5th Street in the north to the Miami River in the south, and from Biscayne Bay in the east to I-95 in the west. Hotels on Biscayne Boulevard and N Bayshore Drive are closest to the water and to Bayfront Park. The Miami Worldcenter development, between NE 2nd and NE 8th Streets, has added newer hotel inventory a short walk inland.

Brickell, Miami's financial district, begins south of the Miami River and is a separate neighborhood. If you need hotels there, we have a separate page for Brickell hotels.
