What to expect in this part of Edgewater
The bayfront strip along N Bayshore Drive between NE 17th and NE 20th Streets is where the hotel inventory concentrates. Guests get water views of Biscayne Bay, walkable access to Margaret Pace Park, and a short ride to the Wynwood arts district and the Design District. The neighborhood is low-rise residential north of NE 20th Street, with a handful of condo towers and the three hotels clustered near the southern boundary.
Dining options within a 10-minute walk include restaurants along NE 2nd Avenue and the bayfront. Publix on NE 2nd Avenue is roughly a 7-minute walk for guests who want to self-cater.

Frequently asked questions
Which hotels are actually in Edgewater Miami, not just nearby?＋
The three hotels in this list, the Hilton Miami Downtown at 1601 Biscayne Blvd, the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay at 1633 N Bayshore Dr, and the DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay at 1717 N Bayshore Dr, all carry addresses on or immediately inside the recognized Edgewater boundary. 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?＋
No hotel in the verified Edgewater Miami inventory 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 their Edgewater 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 roughly an 11-to-13-minute walk south along Biscayne Boulevard from all three hotels. Miami-Dade Transit Route 3 stops on Biscayne Boulevard within a 2-to-3-minute walk and connects to Wynwood, the Design District, and Downtown Miami. Ride-share services are also available throughout the neighborhood.
Is Edgewater Miami walkable?＋
The bayfront strip where these hotels are located is walkable for leisure. Margaret Pace Park is within a 4-to-6-minute walk of all three properties. Grocery shopping at Publix on NE 2nd Avenue takes about 7 minutes on foot. Wynwood and the Design District are a short ride-share away but are not practical walking distances for most guests.
What is the difference between Edgewater and Downtown Miami for hotel guests?＋
Edgewater is north of NE 17th Street along Biscayne Bay and is primarily residential with a quieter street environment than Downtown. Guests at Edgewater hotels get bay views, proximity to Margaret Pace Park, and easier access to Wynwood and the Design District, while trading some of the convention and nightlife density that Downtown provides.
Which Edgewater hotel has the best guest score?＋
Among the three qualifying hotels, the Hilton Miami Downtown carries the highest guest score at 8.6, followed by the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay at 8.3, and the DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay at 7.6.
