crusinmomwithtwo Posted January 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I know the MIA pre-cruise hotel question has been asked a ton (and I think I've read them all). Our situation is a little different. I always book for two nights even though we only stay one. We fly into FLL, land at 6 am on 3/11, cruise is 3/12. I will book a room for the 10th and 11th, so the room is ready for us as soon as we arrive around 7 am. Which means I am paying for 2 nights and only staying for one. There are three of us, myself, and my two daughters 13 year old and 11 year old. The twist is that I am a bit of a hotel snob due to the fact that I work in hospitality in Las Vegas in a 5 star hotel, so looking for more upscale, or at least newer and clean and safe. Stayed at the Intercontinental last time in a bay view room and it was just okay. I'd like to stay less than about 700 a night. Considering the Kimpton Epic, the Cadillac Miami Beach, the Intercontinental again. Any other thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted January 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I am looking into EB Hotel. Seems to have very nice reviews. On April 1 the price is $299 for Deluxe Suite on expedia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted January 9, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Intercontinental is an older hotel built in the 80s. Unless you really want to be in Miami Beach for the day, I would stick with Downtown Miami and Brickell. Brickell has some nicer hotels. East Miami is not 5-star but new and in a great location. There is also the Four Seasons in Brickell, JW Marriott (4-star built in early 2000s) in Brickell. Mandarin Oriental on Brickell Key is very nice. W Miami is also an option. JW Marquis and Epic are also good options right next to each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver2014 Posted January 13, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Kimpton Epic is best by a long shot. It's right there and is one of the newer hotels on Biscayne Blvd. I worked in the building across the street and would go over there at lunch time to watch the dolphins in Biscayne Bay.
