Where to Stay In Miami Right Now
Chase Travel experts explore the world to help you find the perfect hotel for every situation. Get inspired for your next trip with more curated hotel guides.
Beyond its perma-sunny beaches and ocean temperatures that hover comfortably between balmy and bathwater, Miami is, at its heart, a hotel city. Joining the ranks of the Art Deco landmarks that line Collins Avenue are a slew of new and reimagined luxury properties, each of which appeals to a different kind of traveler. Consider one of the hotels below for your next trip to Miami, whether you’re looking for eco-minded amenities, Old Hollywood glamour or buzzy global cuisine.
Faena Miami Beach
Mid-Beach
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
More is more at the Argentine hotelier Alan Faena’s unabashed ode to maximalism—starting with the museum-worthy art collection, which includes showstoppers like Damien Hirst’s Gone but Not Forgotten, a gilded woolly-mammoth skeleton encased in a glass box en route to the beach, and ending with the live-fire asado experience at Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann.
The Miami Beach EDITION
Mid-Beach

Fans of hotelier Ian Schrager will recognize all his hallmarks here—an iconic spiral staircase, tons of potted palms—but there are plenty of nods to Miami, too, like oceanfront bungalows with private plunge pools and a restaurant from Jean-Georges Vongerichten that draws flavor inspiration from Latin America, Spain and the Caribbean. For fun out of the sun, check out the neon-lit Basement Bowl & Skate, which has a four-lane bowling alley and indoor ice-skating rink.
1 Hotel South Beach

The building is LEED Silver certified, the house Audi is electric and salvaged driftwood features heavily in the decor—all thoughtful details we can get behind. Other ones we like? The rooftop pool, the kitted-out Bamford Wellness Spa and the plant-based cuisine at Plnthouse.
The Setai Miami Beach
South Beach

Spanning The Setai’s two buildings—the original 1930s Dempsey-Vanderbilt hotel and a glittering new tower—you’ll find three pools (each one is set to a different temperature), a restaurant that serves a signature Peking duck and an elegant bar that whips up wasabi martinis.
The Shelborne by Proper
South Beach
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
Collins Avenue is one of the country’s premier Art Deco hot spots, and The Shelborne has been among its most iconic stays since 1941. The hotel was later expanded by modernist architectural icon Morris Lapidus, and recently, Proper Hospitality took the reins, injecting $100 million into a full refresh. Outside, the sculptural diving board still stands watch over the tropical-tinged, palm-lined pool (note: you can no longer jump from it) and would be recognizable to guests who visited decades ago. But the interiors have been completely updated, with a pastel-heavy palette and an art collection that skews toward Latin and Miami-based creatives. Especially showstopping is the restaurant Pauline, where the menu is all about the freshest seafood through a Caribbean and Latin American lens.
Delano Miami Beach
South Beach
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
This South Beach icon reopened in May 2026 after a six-year, top-to-bottom restoration, which preserved the Art Deco façade, original terrazzo floors and sea light that reaches every room. In the lobby, the gauzy curtains and sceney Rose Bar of the hotel’s previous era also remain, but a new fleet of cozy curved couches now welcomes both laptop work and late nights. Dining comes courtesy of Paris Society, a French group making its American debut. Try matcha and flaky pastries at Café Delano; long Italian lunches at Gigi Rigolatto, where the dining room extends to the pool deck; and Wagyu-and-foie-gras gyoza at Mimi Kakushi, which also serves martinis theatrically frozen in ice. A social spa built around a 22-seat sauna is to come, but the truest wellness here might be the oldest kind: an afternoon by the pool, swaddled in Miami’s humidity, a cafecito before dinner and a great night’s sleep.
Mayfair House Hotel & Garden
Coconut Grove
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
Reopened in 2022 after a $50 million renovation, this hotel is so overflowing with tropical vegetation that it looks like the building has been left to nature. The botanical blitz doesn’t stop there, though; jungle-themed murals back the pool by the rooftop rum bar, and in the jewel-tone guest rooms, claw-foot bathtubs cozy up to other quirky touches, including record players and even a piano.
The Standard Spa, Miami Beach
Belle Isle
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
With its Turkish-style hammam, infinity pool and hemlock sauna, it’s not hard to see why the spa is the main event. But the rooms, some of which have outdoor soaking tubs, and the waterfront restaurant, where you can nibble on raw-bar delicacies in the sun, are hardly second-best.
Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, Surfside, Florida
Surfside
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
Opened on New Year’s Eve 1930, the oceanfront Surf Club has been a magnet for royals and Hollywood stars from the very beginning. Don’t miss the eponymous restaurant, chef Thomas Keller’s first in the state, which serves the kind of continental classics that those early bigwigs would’ve loved.
Esmé Miami Beach
South Beach
This village-like complex of Spanish-Mediterranean buildings on Española Way was built in the 1920s as an artist colony, and Desi Arnaz was known to play rumba here. Don’t miss Sundowner Happy Hour at The Drexel, its on-site restaurant—there are smoky, charcoal-grilled appetizers and $10 cocktails to chase them with.
The Betsy – South Beach
South Beach
In a sea of flashy Art Deco divas, this prim 1942 mainstay’s “Florida-Georgian” style is the mashup you didn’t know you needed. Behind its stately columns and shutters, rooms are unfussy and bright, with colorful accent walls and black-and-white photos, and the family-owned property is known for its CEOs (canine executive officers), whom you might meet during a stay. (Your own dogs are welcome, too.)
The Goodtime Hotel
South Beach
This dream-team collaboration between Pharrell Williams and hospitality giant David Grutman is all about whimsy, with pink-and-white-striped cabanas, jaguar-print robes and even carts doling out free ice cream. DJs preside over pool parties, there’s an indoor-outdoor gym and yoga classes are offered on the beach right outside.
Mr. C Coconut Grove
Coconut Grove
Given its pedigree—owned by the Cipriani family of restaurateurs, who are best known for founding Harry’s Bar in Venice—it’s hardly surprising that the F&B at this glossy boutique hotel is a major draw. At the house restaurant, which takes its name from the Bellini (a drink invented at Harry’s), you can hobnob over orders of crudo, carpaccio and refreshing salads.
Arlo Wynwood
Wynwood Art District
This Arlo outpost channels Wynwood’s artsy vibe with colorful works on surfaces across the property, from the exterior walls and staircases to the pool deck. Prints from local artists add pops of color to rooms and suites, which are otherwise minimalist spaces with bright white bedding and clean-lined, white oak furnishings. The hotel is particularly well-suited for solo travelers, thanks to a surprisingly robust roster of events and activities: Think 5K group runs, stand-up comedy shows, Pilates classes set to Latin music soundtracks and thumping Afrobeat dance parties on the rooftop.
