Travel tips
Plan for valet parking fees if you’re arriving by car, since valet service is the documented on-site option. The hotel’s edge-of-downtown location makes it practical to build days around nearby hotspots like Bayside Marketplace and Bayfront Park (both around 2–2.5 km away) and museum visits at PAMM and Frost Science (around 3 km away). If you’re heading to farther attractions like Wynwood Walls (~4.6 km) or South Pointe Park Pier (~6.9 km), allow extra travel time, especially at peak hours.
