Best for

Best for design-minded and history-minded travelers who want a preserved 1953 mid-century motel with character rather than a generic chain. Drivers benefit from the free parking, and the proximity to the Design District, Wynwood and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami suits art and neighborhood-exploring visits. The heated courtyard pool and bar atmosphere also suit couples and small groups.

Travel tips

Parking is complimentary, which is useful since most listed attractions are 5–11 km away, including Wynwood Walls, the Pérez Art Museum and Miami Beach sites. Nearby attractions are spread across Miami, so plan a driving or ride-share route and group them by area, such as the ICA, Wynwood Walls and Superblue for art. Ask about the room type at booking, since minifridges, Keurig coffeemakers and sofabeds are only in upgraded rooms.
