Miami's Top Hotels,
Mapped & Priced.
Ten standout hotels across Miami — with real distance and drive time from Miami International Airport, nightly rate ranges, star ratings, and every amenity that matters, side by side.
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.
