Even if you don’t plan to spend more than a few hours each night in your room (including sleep), Downtown Miami and Miami Beach alike have a wide variety of top-tier accommodations for every need—and bank account. City-loving travelers will be pleasantly surprised by the sophisticated hotels in Miami’s dense urban core. On the other end of the spectrum, thousands of square feet of private beach can be your playground at a number of ocean-front resorts. With so many hotels to choose from, the best way to approach booking one is to figure out what’s most important to you, whether that means serene surroundings, proximity to nightlife, or a wooly mammoth skeleton that greets you upon arrival (yeah, we’ve got that too). Here are our picks for the best hotels in Miami.
