FLAHAM Posted June 7, 2010 #26 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Just checking for other dates....and TWO 5* downtown miami hotels pop up (at rates that are slightly more....) Seems that the other 5* hotel could be the Conrad which is over in the Financial area closer to Mary Brickell Village.....(this seems to be the one with a 36 story tower...) SO......it's possible to get something other than the IC....just so people are aware...make sure to check the amenity list..... still good deals though! Gee, in Brickell you would be stuck with a choice of some very nice places to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ontario cruise duo Posted June 9, 2010 #29 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Thank you all for the great info! With all the information that you were provided with, what if anything did you end up booking? Just a little curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBunny Posted June 9, 2010 #30 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Gee, in Brickell you would be stuck with a choice of some very nice places to eat. Yeah. Like Perricones. I just love that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAHAM Posted June 9, 2010 #31 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yeah. Like Perricones. I just love that place. I had Perricone's proscutto di Parma and mozzarella sandwich for lunch just last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBunny Posted June 9, 2010 #32 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Jealous! I love their bruschetta. Just sitting in the garden, taking all the time in the world to eat a proper lunch, complete with espresso. Ah! I do miss doing business in Miami!

Doglady Posted June 9, 2010 #33 Share Posted June 9, 2010 We just booked the Intercontinental also for 8/28. Can't beat the price so hopefully we won't have any of the negative issues about the hotel or Bayside that I have read. Thinking positive!!

dsg560 Posted June 10, 2010 #34 Share Posted June 10, 2010 What is the best way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkat9438 Posted June 10, 2010 #35 Share Posted June 10, 2010 What is the best way? I would just take a cab unless you are going to rent a car and explore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanfromatlanta Posted June 10, 2010 #36 Share Posted June 10, 2010 What is the best way? Take a cab. It is fast, easy and not expensive. Tons of them will be lined up just outside of the baggage claim area at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted June 10, 2010 #37 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Everyone talks about how close the HI is to Bayside but when I just went on the Bayside website it states that the HI is "12 blocks away". Anyone know the truth?:confused: I guess by now you have found out it is across the street from the market. We are looking for someplace in late Jan (the 22nd) and the rates everywhere seem out of line, plus a lot of the hotels are already sold out..

Nita It's still way too early for all of the pricing to come out. Most hotels haven't even negotiated pricing for next year. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyette Posted June 10, 2010 #39 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Yeh if you want to take out a mortgage for your stay!!!lol Just got back from our cruise where we had 3 nights at the Intercontinental.I can highly recommend it, and yes the Holiday Inn is directly across the road from Bayside Actually EPIC can be the same price as the Intercontinental - I stayed there last November for $300. Very nice...just have to keep checking their internet site and the usual hotel discount sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted June 10, 2010 #40 Share Posted June 10, 2010 It's still way too early for all of the pricing to come out. Most hotels haven't even negotiated pricing for next year. ;) That's what I finally figured out. I retired from a major hotel chain (res dept) and our rates were posted a year ahead of time but were always changing. We have decided to drive and I started pricing rooms at various stop points. Coming back we will stay in Albany GA the first night. A couple of the hotels show sold out or no prices. I can't believe hotels in Albany Ga would be sold out, so my silly brain said "guess what Nita, prices haven't been posted yet" HELLO Thanks, Nita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binky66 Posted June 10, 2010 #41 Share Posted June 10, 2010 What rate did you get and what cruise are you booked on. Wife and I are spending 8/27 and 8/28 in Miami and sailing on the Valo on 8/29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doglady Posted June 11, 2010 #42 Share Posted June 11, 2010 We booked the Intercontinental thru lastminutetravel.com and paid a total of $100 for 8/28. We are happy with that. Doglady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
