Surfside is a small town of its own on Collins Avenue between 87th and 96th Street, quieter than Miami Beach to the south and on the same sand. All five hotels here are inside the town limits: the five-star Four Seasons at The Surf Club, both Grand Beach locations, a top-rated boutique and a Residence Inn for longer stays.
How we ranked these hotels
Hotels are ordered by star rating, highest first. Where two properties share the same star rating, the higher guest score determines the order.
All five properties are on or within a short walk of Collins Avenue between 87th and 96th Street, the geographic boundary of Surfside proper. The table measures each walk to Surfside Town Hall at 9293 Harding Avenue. Properties in adjacent Bal Harbour or Miami Beach were excluded regardless of proximity.

What makes Surfside different from Miami Beach
Surfside is its own town, with its own police department, town commission, and beach maintenance program. The result is a quieter stretch of coastline than the blocks south of 87th Street. You get the same Atlantic water and the same white sand, but without the density of South Beach or Mid-Beach.
It suits families, and anyone who has done South Beach and wants something calmer. The hotels reflect that: even the five-star Four Seasons at The Surf Club keeps a residential feel rather than a nightlife-forward one.
