Every hotel on this list offers EV charging and holds either a third-party sustainability certification or a published report with specific, measurable environmental results. Properties were screened against LEED, Green Key, EarthCheck, Green Globe, GSTC, and Energy Star registries, plus brand-level sustainability disclosures with documented numeric outcomes. EV charging may be on-property or at a verified third-party garage within walking distance of the hotel entrance.
How we selected these hotels
Each hotel on this page passed two independent checks: confirmed EV charging access and a verified sustainability credential. For sustainability, we searched the LEED project directory, the Green Key global database, the EarthCheck certified properties list, and Energy Star's certified buildings registry. Brand-level programs such as Marriott Serve 360 and IHG Green Engage qualified only when the specific Miami property had documented, numeric results in a published report, not just a brand-wide pledge.
For EV charging, we checked each hotel's own amenities pages and, where on-property charging was not confirmed, identified the nearest verified public charging garage and measured walking distance from the hotel entrance. Hotels where neither on-property nor nearby third-party charging could be confirmed were excluded regardless of their sustainability credentials.

What to know before you charge
- On-property EV charging at Miami hotels is most common in Brickell and downtown, where newer builds included charging infrastructure from the start.
- Miami Beach properties often rely on nearby public garages for EV charging. Confirm the garage accepts your vehicle type before arrival, as some garages restrict height for SUVs and trucks.
- LEED certification covers the building's design and operations, not just energy use. A LEED Silver hotel has met verified thresholds across water efficiency, materials, and indoor air quality, not just one metric.
- IHG Green Engage scores are property-specific. The InterContinental Miami's Energy Star certification is separate from the brand program and requires annual EPA verification.
- If you drive a Tesla, check whether the hotel's chargers are Level 2 universal or Tesla-only before booking. Most hotel chargers in Miami use J1772 connectors with a CCS adapter option.
Hotels with EV charging in Miami: neighborhood breakdown
Three of the five hotels on this list sit in Brickell or downtown Miami, where the density of newer high-rise construction made it practical to wire EV charging into parking structures from the ground up. The JW Marriott Marquis Miami at 255 Biscayne Boulevard Way and the Mandarin Oriental, Miami at 500 Brickell Key Dr both offer on-property charging within their parking garages, and both are within a 10-minute walk of Brickell Metrorail.
On Miami Beach, 1 Hotel South Beach at 2341 Collins Avenue is the only LEED-certified property on this list and the only one on the barrier island. Its on-property charging is available in the hotel's self-park structure off Collins Avenue.
For travelers staying in the Brickell financial district, EAST Miami at 788 Brickell Plaza and the InterContinental Miami by IHG at 100 Chopin Plz round out the downtown cluster, both with on-property charging and documented sustainability programs.

EAST Miami
788 Brickell Plaza
8.63,894 reviews

Frequently asked questions
Which Miami hotels on this list have EV charging directly on the hotel property?+
All five hotels offer EV charging either on-property or within the same development complex. 1 Hotel South Beach, InterContinental Miami by IHG, JW Marriott Marquis Miami, and Mandarin Oriental, Miami each have charging in their own parking structures. EAST Miami uses the Brickell City Centre shared parking garage, which connects to the hotel through an interior concourse and is about a 3-minute walk from the lobby.
What does LEED Silver certification mean for a hotel stay?+
LEED Silver means the building met verified thresholds across multiple categories: energy efficiency, water reduction, sustainable materials, indoor air quality, and site management. The US Green Building Council audits the documentation before awarding the certification, so it reflects actual building performance rather than a pledge. For guests, it typically means lower energy and water consumption per room, better air filtration, and reduced chemical use in cleaning and construction materials. 1 Hotel South Beach is the only LEED Silver property on this list.
Does Energy Star certification for a hotel mean the same thing as LEED?+
Energy Star and LEED measure different things. Energy Star certification from the EPA focuses on energy performance: the building must score in the top 25% of similar commercial properties on energy use per square foot and pass an annual on-site verification. LEED covers a broader set of criteria including water, materials, and site. The InterContinental Miami by IHG holds Energy Star certification, which confirms its energy performance is among the most efficient in its building category.
Are there Miami Beach hotels with both EV charging and a third-party sustainability certification?+
1 Hotel South Beach at 2341 Collins Avenue is the only Miami Beach property on this list that meets both criteria. It holds LEED Silver certification and provides on-property EV charging in its self-park structure. Other Miami Beach hotels in our inventory have sustainability programs but could not be confirmed as holding a named third-party certification at the property level.
What is the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 on this page?+
Tier 1 hotels hold a certification from an independent body such as LEED, Green Key, EarthCheck, or Energy Star. These require audited data and external verification. Tier 2 hotels have published sustainability reports with specific numeric results, such as a documented percentage reduction in energy or water use, but do not hold a standalone named certification. On this list, 1 Hotel South Beach and InterContinental Miami by IHG are Tier 1. The remaining three are Tier 2.
Do I need to reserve EV charging in advance at these Miami hotels?+
Policies vary by property. At Mandarin Oriental, Miami and JW Marriott Marquis Miami, the hotel's concierge team can reserve a charging bay when you book valet or self-park. At 1 Hotel South Beach, charging spots in the self-park structure are first-come, first-served. Contact each hotel directly before arrival to confirm charger availability, connector type, and any associated parking fees.
