Miami Florida Hotels
Miami visitors have the choice between staying at a major chain hotel with easy access to everything the downtown area has to offer, or an upscale boutique hotel in Miami Beach that is part of the National Register of Historic Places. Either way, any one of these
Miami hotels will be where the action is, from the cultural and sporting events in downtown Miami to sun-soaked days and dance-filled nights at South Beach.

When choosing one of the Miami hotels, keep in mind that Miami Beach is a separate city from Miami, and it is located just across the causeway on a barrier island. The most historic Miami Beach hotels were built to blend in with the region's natural tropical beauty, which is why the Art Deco designs that can be found in the Miami Beach Architectural District are unlike any other hotels in the country.
The Colony Hotel is one of the most photographed hotels from the height of the Art Deco era of the late 1920s through early 1940s. After many renovations since it was opened 1939, The Colony has been transformed into a boutique hotel. Other boutique hotels in the historic district include the historic Hotel Chelsea, which dates back to 1936; the 1940s era Riviera South Beach; and the Hotel Shelley, built in 1936. Other, more modern boutique hotels include the Clinton Hotel, Catalina Hotel and Beach Club; Chesterfield Hotel, Suites and Day Spa, Metropole South Beach, and the Hotel Whitelaw. Historic hotels tend to have smaller rooms and might not have the free wireless Internet access that guests have become accustomed to, but if you want to stay in a hotel that you can't find anywhere else, the historic South Beach experience is for you, plus the added benefit of location, location, location.
While many Miami hotels in South Beach have a distinctively vintage atmosphere that harkens back to the boom years of the 1920s, the Miami hotels in the downtown area highlight modern amenities and urban adventures. These hotels include the Hyatt Regency Miami, which has more than 100,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space and is connected to the Miami Convention Center; the Four Seasons Hotel Miami, with modern amenities and round the clock multi-lingual guest services; and the Intercontinental Miami Hotel, located in the heart of Miami's financial and business district, which boasts breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay.
Hotels in Miami are used to accommodating international travelers, so there is usually a concierge on hand to make sure that travelers feel welcome in just about any language. Miami hotels have been growing Florida's tourism industry for the past century, and the tradition continues with some of the most luxurious downtown hotels and funky beachside boutique hotels in the entire state.
