Nice Miami hotel in good walking area before cruise

[Rellyrooly]

Hello!

 

Looking for a hotel in Miami to stay at that has some eateries and things to do around it.  Just staying the night before our cruise.  Would like it to have a shuttle (don't mind paying for it) to the cruise port.  Not looking for a boutique or small hotel.  Chain is fine.  Thanks!

Hampton Inn and Suites Mary Brickell is often recommend. We stayed there in November and are again in May. Great location and walkable. Free breakfast and easy Uber or Lyft ride to the port.

Agree with Andymattmom's recommendation. We too stayed there in November and would have no hesitation in staying again. They do offer a shuttle service to the port. It is independently operated and you book it with the concierge on the ground floor. They have several time slots on offer. We made use of it and it was fine. Cost was $8 per person, so cost-effective for the two of us.

We stayed at the Hampton Inn Brickell this past November and enjoyed it very much!

Agree.  Great hotel, location and pretty reasonable price for downtown.

For Memorial weekend Saturday I have a 2 queen elite floor for 4 adults-$204 using Hilton MVP rate which is open to anyone .

Hampton Inn Brickell is the most recommended and popular for what you are looking for. Pretty much anything in Brickell will do the trick. Downtown (just north of Brickell) also has good options too. But Brickell is a more lively and dense area at night. 

 

Just Uber/Lyft to the port. Hampton has a shuttle for $8/pp an Uber from there would cost less than $10 total.

JW Marriott is another option. It is also located in Brickell area. Many restaurants within minutes walk and a large CVS next door.

Also easy to get to the water front for an evening stroll on the board walk.

There are a lot of ideas for hotels in the Brickell area.  Hampton Inn,  new Hyatt Centric, East Hotel, SLS, JW Marriott, The W, Four Season, and the Mandarin Oriental to name a few.  

Citizen M is about to start being built on the land that was Perricone's.  There are quite a few others coming to the area in the future as well.
