Hotels in Miami

Our shortlist of hotels in Miami, Florida: every qualifying property within 12 miles of the centre, with the reason behind each pick.

  • 36 qualifying stays
  • 12 mile radius

Miami runs on two very different waterfronts. Miami Beach and South Beach put you on the sand with the Art Deco District behind you; Brickell and Downtown sit across the bay and lean business, high-rise and walkable-to-dinner. Our radius covers both sides plus Coral Gables and the Design District.

Areas covered: Miami Beach, South Beach, Brickell, Downtown, Coral Gables.

Selection radius: properties within 12 miles of the centre of Miami, measured from coordinates in our source data.

36 qualifying stays reviewed. 12 made this shortlist.

We start from every hotel, inn, resort, lodge and bed & breakfast in our United States dataset that scores 8.5 or higher on Booking.com with at least 100 guest reviews. For this page we then looked only at properties in Miami. See how we select hotels.

Common questions

Miami Beach or mainland Miami?

Miami Beach if the ocean is the point of the trip. Brickell or Downtown if you want restaurants, walkability and easier access to the airport. Both areas appear in the shortlist below.

How many hotels in Miami made this shortlist?

36 properties cleared our criteria and 12 are shown above, ranked by Charming Score. The highest-scoring is Trump National Doral Golf Resort at 9.8, with a 9.4 guest rating from 669 Booking.com reviews.

What do these stays cost?

Indicative nightly rates for the shortlist run from about $122 to $795 in our data export. Rates move with date, season and availability, so the figure on each card is a starting point rather than a quote.

What is the Charming Score?

It is our own 0-10 selection score, not a guest rating. It combines the Booking.com guest score (45%), review volume (20%), property class (10%), amenity fit (10%), independence and property character (10%) and price positioning (5%). The full method is published on the Charming Score page.

Have you stayed at these hotels?

No, and we do not pretend otherwise. Our selections come from guest data, property facts and location, not from first-hand visits. Our editorial policy explains exactly what we do and do not claim.
