eMerge Americas hotels: what to expect in this stretch
The blocks immediately west and north of Miami Beach Convention Center mix Art Deco-era buildings converted to boutique hotels with a handful of newer 4-star properties. This is the north end of South Beach; Mid-Beach starts a few blocks north.
Collins Avenue here is quieter than the blocks south of 14th Street, which works in your favor during a multi-day conference.
Restaurants and coffee shops on 17th and 20th Streets handle the morning rush from conference-goers without the waits you find closer to Ocean Drive. Most of the hotels on this list have on-site dining or a cafe, so you can eat before the first session without leaving the block.
