Miami is all about extravagance. From its beautiful stretches of beach to the luxury shopping and dining options and then there is, of course, that nightlife. The city also has a wonderful range of art deco architecture (best seen along the coast) much of which has been turned into swanky hotels. With so much on offer, it is hardly surprising that there is a wide range of luxury hotels across the city. However, if you are really looking for the crème de la crème why not browse through our collection of the best hotels in Miami?

Best Hotels In Miami
Though the hotel underwent a $50 million renovation in 2017, it still elicits that feeling of having one foot planted in the past and the other moving quickly toward the future. As one of Miami Beach’s biggest hotels (there are nearly 800 rooms), the Loews attracts as diverse a clientele as Miami welcomes as visitors. Families with kids, couples with dogs, business travelers with laptops—everyone happily coexists and gets what they need from the hotel, which counts adults-only poolside cabanas, a beachfront location, and Lure Fishbar, a South Beach outpost of the popular Manhattan eatery, among its draws.
Stepping into The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort feels a little bit like entering an abstract art gallery: the entryway is a largely empty room, save for an enormous metal sculpture hanging from the ceiling and a few tufted chairs and couches that you may or may not be allowed to sit on. But check into your butler-serviced, Yabu-Pushelberg-designed suite, outfitted in a neutral palette, and you’ll feel right at home. The four restaurants, two pools, cabana-lined beachfront, and adjacent Bal Harbour shops offer a bevy of entertainment and leisure.
Kimpton Angler’s Hotel South Beach
A six-year, $61 million expansion has breathed new life into this Mediterranean Revival boutique hotel. “The design and personal touches are second to none,” raved one respondent. “You really feel that you are tucked away in your own private sanctuary.” Steps away from the beach, the newly refreshed, 132-room hotel is a refined take on coastal style: lava-rock-textured coffee tables and wicker armchairs pop against sleek, geometric floor tiles and clean white walls. If the snazzy design doesn’t win you over, all the wellness-minded extras, including loaner bikes and in-room yoga mats, surely will.
Grand Deluxe Three-Bedroom Suite
Opened in January this year, the new Grand Deluxe Three-Bedroom Oceanfront Suite is located on the 32nd floor and features sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Miami skyline. Guests enter the suite through an opulent foyer with marble flooring and three round mirrored sconces.
The suite’s expansive living room boasts a queen sofa sleeper and an antique brass coffee table, making it a sophisticated place to relax. The dining area has a Ralph Lauren Baxter metal shade chandelier, bay window and floor-to-ceiling views of the ocean, two bar stools and dining table for four people.
The Miami Beach Edition
Situated in the Mid-Beach area, The Miami Beach Edition hotel is a central figure in an area that is rapidly growing. Although only a five-minute drive from the heart of South Beach, the hotel’s surroundings are noticeably quieter and all the better for it. The lobby complements its original gold mosaic columns with dozens of potted palms.
The forest theme continues throughout its public spaces and the dining areas, particularly the outdoor terrace at the Matador Room, which is beautifully decorated with hanging baskets. World-renowned Jean-Georges Vongerichten oversees the food here, which serves a menu that blend Caribbean cuisine with traditional Spanish tapas. The other main dining options are Market, a casual Italian eatery, and Tropicale, an al fresco lunch spot located by the pool.
