For most travelers arriving in the region, Miami International Airport (MIA) is the primary and most practical hub. Located within the city of Miami, it offers the most extensive range of domestic and international flights, supported by seamless metro and high-speed rail connections that make reaching the city center effortless. Travelers seeking a quieter executive experience may utilize Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), which is also located within the city but focuses on private and executive aviation. Other airports in the region serve neighboring cities and are significant distances away. Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) serves the city of West Palm Beach; while it is a major facility, it requires a longer, high-speed rail or road journey to reach Miami. Meanwhile, Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), located in the city of Fort Myers, and Grand Bahama International Airport (FPO) in the city of Freeport, Bahamas, are not suitable for direct Miami access and should generally only be considered if your itinerary specifically requires travel through those respective locales.

First time in Miami and I picked a great hotel! The view is stunning, and the staff are incredibly friendly. They proactively helped me with my luggage, carrying it up and down, and even refused a tip. Thank you so much! Amazing, amazing, amazing!FromUS$248

From check-in to check-out, everything was perfect. The butler at all the door allowed us to park the car in front for 15 minutes to unload our luggage and to check in quickly - really appreciated the flexibility. The room was clean, the bed was super comfortable. Highly recommended!FromUS$191

This hotel was just a 10-minute drive from the airport, so I booked it for one night since I had an early 7 AM flight. It's a pretty standard hotel, a bit old-fashioned perhaps, and the facilities are a little dated, but I didn't have high expectations for a one-night stay. They offer a shuttle service to and from the airport every half hour, no prior booking needed. We took the 5:30 AM shuttle; when we got to the door at 5:26 AM, there was already a long line of guests waiting to get on, each with at least one suitcase. I thought we'd have to wait for the next one, but the driver was amazing. He stacked everyone's luggage one by one in the back, and incredibly, managed to fit all twenty-plus suitcases! We arrived at the airport right on time.FromUS$93

Stay was generally good overall, they allowed early check in as rooms were available when we arrived which is a plus, only thing is wifi isn’t great kept disconnecting. Overall it’s a good hotel and in a more quiet part of downtown not too far from port of Miami.FromUS$133

Brickell Miami|0.56km from city center
The hotel's location was perfect, and the catering service was excellent. I also appreciated how quickly I could go between the pool and the main building, though the high number of people using it was a bit of a downside. I realized I should avoid using the pool during the times reserved for the hotel's main guests. If I don't use the pool during its rest hours, it seems more VIP guests will get to enjoy it. It always feels like more guests are using the pool when I'm not there.
Everything else was perfect, and I want to express my respect and gratitude for the staff's kindness, cleanliness, and exemplary behavior. Seeing the staff work so diligently made me feel a little guilty, but also very pleased.FromUS$96

Great location and the room was very spacious. The restaurant offers complimentary hot water, and there's a swimming pool and a gym. My only complaint is that I booked a twin room but was given a king-size room instead, without any explanation, and I'm still working with Ctrip to get this sorted out. The deposit refund was also a bit slow. Apart from that, everything else was good.FromUS$119

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for two nights before our cruise. At check-in, we were given sodas and snacks for our room, along with a coupon for a free drink in their lounge.
Everyone was very friendly and our time at the hotel was terrific. I would definitely recommend this hotel.FromUS$133

There is a swimming pool on the roof, which is quite beautiful.
The style of the hotel is relatively trendy, but the lobby is relatively small, and it is difficult for the driver to find an accurate location.
There is a relatively large balcony, but smoking is not allowed.
The location is in the city center, which is relatively safe, and there are many hotels around.FromUS$163

The location is good, and the Bay Park is just a 5-minute walk downstairs. The room is large, fully equipped, and the service is also very good. Every time I return to the hotel, they provide water. There is a coffee machine that can also be used as a kettle, so there is hot water to drink. There are mirrors everywhere.FromUS$229

The price is generally good. There is no need to live here. Parking a car is 1,000 yuan a day. It is better to add some money to live in a hotel. The environment facilities are also relatively ordinary. There is no surprise. The pool view is good. The backstroke can see the high-rise buildings and the blue sky.FromUS$192
