How we ranked these hotels

Walking distance to the main entrance at 1101 Biscayne Boulevard determined the order. Within a similar distance range, star rating broke the sort, and guest satisfaction scores provided a final check. The list mixes a 4-star chain hotel on Biscayne Boulevard itself, two bayfront properties within a 2-minute walk, a boutique downtown option, and an all-suite hotel for families who need more space after a full day at the aquarium. We excluded unrated vacation rentals and apartments regardless of proximity, since travelers planning multi-day museum visits need consistent front-desk service, pools, and on-site dining.
