Edgewater is a compact bayfront neighborhood on Biscayne Bay that runs north from NE 17th Street to NE 36th Street. The three hotels here are at its southern edge, all 4-star and all by the bay. The DoubleTree is just inside the NE 17th Street line, and the Hilton and the Marriott are a block south of it, where Edgewater meets Downtown.
Expect water views, Margaret Pace Park a few minutes' walk away, and a short ride to the Wynwood arts district and the Design District.
How we ranked these hotels
Star rating set the primary order. Guest score separated properties at the same star level. All three are around NE 16th and 17th Streets. Only the DoubleTree is north of NE 17th Street; the Hilton and the Marriott are a block south of it. We included them because we found too few bookable hotels inside Edgewater itself.

Frequently asked questions
Which hotels are actually in Edgewater Miami, not just nearby?＋
Of the three here, only the DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay at 1717 N Bayshore Dr is north of NE 17th Street, inside Edgewater. The Hilton Miami Downtown at 1601 Biscayne Blvd and the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay at 1633 N Bayshore Dr are just south of it, where Edgewater meets Downtown, and the Hilton is branded as a Downtown hotel. Many hotels marketed as 'Edgewater-area' are physically in Downtown Miami or Wynwood, which are outside the NE 17th Street to NE 36th Street corridor that defines the neighborhood.
Do any Edgewater Miami hotels have LEED certification?＋
None of the three Edgewater hotels here holds a published LEED certification at any tier. Hilton and Marriott both operate brand-level sustainability tracking programs, but neither has published a property-level LEED, Green Key, or equivalent credential for these addresses.
How do guests get from Edgewater hotels to the rest of Miami without a car?＋
The Adrienne Arsht Center Metromover station on the Omni Loop is a 3-to-4-minute walk south of all three hotels. Miami-Dade Transit Route 3 stops on Biscayne Boulevard within a 5-minute walk and runs between Downtown Miami and Aventura. Ride-share services are also available throughout the neighborhood.

The bayfront strip where these hotels are located is walkable for leisure. Margaret Pace Park is a 3-to-7-minute walk from all three properties.
