The Shortlist

Each listing shows the driving distance and estimated time from Miami International Airport (MIA), an approximate nightly starting rate, and the amenities guests ask about most.

Airport & Booking Basics

A few things worth knowing before you compare rates.

✈️

Two airports serve Miami

Miami International (MIA) is closest to Downtown, Brickell and the Beaches — usually 15–25 minutes by car. Fort Lauderdale (FLL) is roughly 40–60 minutes further north and sometimes cheaper to fly into.

💵

Rates shift by season

Prices shown are approximate starting rates. Winter (Dec–Apr) and major events like Art Basel or F1 push rates well above these figures — book early for those dates.

🚗

Resort fees are separate

Most Miami Beach hotels add a nightly resort fee ($35–$60) covering WiFi, beach chairs and gym access — always check the total before booking.

🏖️

Beach access varies

South Beach and Mid-Beach hotels sit directly on sand; Downtown/Brickell hotels are bayfront and closer to nightlife, dining and business districts instead.
