Best for

Best suited to travelers who want to stay right on South Beach’s Ocean Drive, with Lummus Park and the beach directly across the street and major South Beach sights within walking distance.

Couples and weekend leisure travelers may particularly value the ocean-view patio dining and proximity to The Bass and South Pointe Park Pier.

Travel tips

Because the hotel sits across from Lummus Park and the beachfront, it’s easy to plan beach time without needing transportation; many nearby points of interest (like The Wolfsonian–FIU and The Bass) are also close. For shopping and a change of scene from Ocean Drive, plan a walk to Lincoln Road Mall (about 15 minutes). If you want to explore beyond Miami Beach—such as Wynwood Walls, Pérez Art Museum Miami, or Vizcaya Museum & Gardens—expect a short drive or rideshare trip.
