These five hotels are within about a mile of the Miami International Airport (MIA) terminal, measured in a straight line. One is inside the terminal itself; the other four are in the Blue Lagoon area just south of the airport. You get a mix of extended-stay suites, full-service hotels and select-service options, so the list works for a 6 a.m. departure or a multi-night layover.
How we ranked these hotels
Straight-line distance to the MIA terminal set the order, closest first.
- Where two hotels are the same distance, the one with the higher guest score comes first.
- Airport routes loop around runways and ramps, so the drive is longer than the straight line. Treat these numbers as a guide to how close each hotel is, and leave yourself time for the road.

Transfer tips for MIA travelers
- The free MIA Mover runs between the terminal and the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC), with trains about 3 minutes apart on weekday mornings, and the MIC is where you board the Metrorail Orange Line.
- The four Blue Lagoon hotels list an airport shuttle. Hyatt House asks you to call to book, and Hampton Inn runs hourly, so check times before an early or late flight.
- If you're traveling with oversized luggage, a taxi or rideshare from the Blue Lagoon hotels drops you right at the terminal.
- The Metrorail Orange Line runs from the Airport station through downtown Miami to Brickell, handy if you have a few hours to see the city before or after a flight.
Transit access from Blue Lagoon and LeJeune Road hotels
Most hotels on this list are in the Blue Lagoon business district, which connects to the airport by a short taxi or shuttle ride. The MIA Mover links the terminal and the Miami Intermodal Center in about 3 minutes.
The Metrorail Orange Line at the Airport station runs to downtown Miami and Brickell. Tri-Rail also serves the MIC, with service north toward Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, though some trains now run to MiamiCentral instead, so check the timetable.
