Rare huntr104 Posted July 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Hi all. My wife and I are looking for Hotel or Resort recommendations in Miami for 2 nights before our cruise on Freedom OTS in October. We've never sailed out of or stayed in Miami before, so I have no experience with the area. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby114 Posted July 14, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Intercontinental Hotel is a beautiful hotel less than five minutes away from the Port Of Miami. The hotel is located in downtown Miami. Very close to Bayside Marketplace, a touristy area with shops and restaurants. Close to the Brickell area that a lot of restaurants too. A nice area to keep you busy for two days. Another plus you can Uber, Lyft or cab over to South Beach in Miami Beach. Plenty of things to do there too!

rkacruiser Posted July 14, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 14, 2022 If you would consider a resort in Fort Lauderdale, I can recommend the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort. Private beach, a variety of restaurants, good service, a large pool with plenty of lounge chairs and bar service to the area (at least when I last stayed there), very nice rooms with a choice of locations (at various price levels, of course). Almost always a taxi-line up if one wants to go elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we're flying into Miami this time so we're looking for something down there to switch it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually just looking at this Hotel. It's definitely an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1976 Posted July 26, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 26, 2022 YVE in Miami, is right across the street from Bayside Marketplace and less than 10 minutes to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted July 30, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I am booked at Hampton Inn in Brickell for two nights prior to my Freedom of the Seas cruise. Miami has a free trolley service that takes you up and down the bayside and Brickell area. The host of this forum recommends this Hotel and it has been recently remodeled and the rooms are good size and the location for restaurants and sight seeing are all within walking distance.

Any recommendations for restaurants nearby? Depends on what you want and price range. Some of the spots in Brickell I enjoy most: River Oyster Bar Edge Steak and Bar Crazy About You B Bistro + Bakery (for breakfast) In Downtown(you can walk or take Metromover) CVI.CHE 105 niu kitchen If you want off the boat seafood (uber) Garcias There are also some typical places that offer good meals like Capital Grille, Trulucks etc.. I am not a big fan of the what I call "Instagram" places like Sexy Fish or Komodo though they are popular.

AF-1 Posted January 20, 2023 #21 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Piola Pizza and Pasta is very good. It's around the corner from Hampton Inn and Suites in Brickell. I stayed at Hampton Inn two week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
