Hotels Near South Beach

Miami's South Beach neighborhood, or SoBe as it is called locally, is located at the southern tip of Miami Beach. Developed in the 1920s and 1930s as a winter playground for wealthy northerners, South Beach has, miraculously, retained its pre-World War II charm. Original Art Deco buildings--over 800 of them--have been carefully restored with millions of dollars of private funding. Today, South Beach is a unique, vibrant area full on period hotels, fine dining, nightclubs, and shopping.

Accommodations in and around South Beach range from high-rise, downtown hotels to small, independently owned, low-rise hotels. Also within a short drive are the beachfront hotels of Key Biscayne and the mid 20th century architectural masterpiece, The Fontainebleau. Whatever your budget and tastes, there is the perfect hotel for you either right in South Beach or within minutes of it.
