Hotels in Miami

[cleob]

We have a four night cruise on Mariner in October. We booked a hotel for one night prior to the cruise but recent reviews of this hotel haven’t been great. Any suggestions of hotels relatively near the cruise port?

We like the Intercontinental. The Holiday Inn Bayside is across the street. Both are "Holiday" properties.

I also recommend the Intercontinental. Lovely property and easy access to Bayside Marketplace and lots of shopping nearby.

 

The last time we stayed in Miami (Dec 2016) we needed two rooms and the Intercontinental was just too expensive. We ended up staying at the Marriott Biscayne Bay. It was comfortable but not much within walking distance with four kids in tow at night that we found that evening. The taxi ride wasn’t too long but definitely further than the IC.

Another vote for the intercontinental

Look at hotels in the Mary Brickell area (Hampton Inn, etc.) with lots of local dining and nightlife nearby. Any downtown hotel will be close to POM - under $15 in a taxi or closer to $10 in an Uberx.

Hampton Inn Brickell is our choice.

Holiday Inn , port of Miami. It overlooks the port and is directly opposite the Bayside marketplace, which is a great place to spend a pre cruise evening. Lots of shops and restaurants, live music, set around a marina. https://www.baysidemarketplace.com

The Hampton Inn, Hyatt, Conrad, JW Marriott, Marriott Marquis and the Intercontinental are all good nearby choices--it depends how much you want to spend.

We stay either at the Intercontinental or the Hampton Inn/Brickell. Both are great and a short taxi/Uber ride to the port.

We have stayed 3 times at the Intercontinental. We love it. In fact all 3 times we were able to get it through Priceline for under $100.00.

Hampton Inn Brickell is our choice.

 

I agree!

we loved the JW Marriott Marquis!

Last time we cruised out of Miami (July 2018), we stayed at the YVE Miami. It’s right across the street from Bayside Marketplace and a very short ride to the port. We had a fantastic 16th floor view of the port and we watched our ship come in right from our window.

 

The hotel has a trendy, modern vibe and they give you free drink vouchers to be used at the Biscayne Tavern located in the lobby.

 

The best thing was the rate: $99 which made me wonder if the place would be a dump but it was far from it. Would absolutely stay there again.

Flying into Miami a day early (don't trust the New England weather in January). Staying at the Hilton Downtown Miami on Biscayne Bay. Looks like a nice hotel but what is nearby?

 

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

We stay at the Hilton Downtown. It's a place to stay pre-cruise. There's a couple of fast food places and a supermarket across the street (that's all we're looking for pre-cruise).
