Miami
Hotels -In Miami you can
have any type of hotel or hostel room you want, following
on an extensive building programme during the 1990's,
there is a huge range of new hotels and of course
all the longer established hotels have gone through
renovations and rebuilding. So you will be spoiled
for choice - depending on your wish for upmarket expensive
luxury hotels or more modest mid price, indeed budget
price, accommodations.
Miami is a seasonal city with the
higher prices for accommodation at the peak times
such as Christmas, New Year and Spring/Easter time.
Weekends also tend to be busy. Outside these peak
times you may be pleasantly surprised at the great
value available. September-October is the main hurricane
season in Florida so you may want to avoid these months
but this is also the time when accommodation prices
are at their lowest.
There are literally hundreds of Miami Hotels,
Motels, Resorts, and hostels to choose from,
with thousands of rooms on offer. Prices will range
from $15 a night in a shared facility hostel to $2,000
a night or more in a penthouse suite. The internet
is a great place to do get your information and it
is worht while surfing around before making a final
decision as to the type of accommodation you really
want. Then start looking for the discounts 'cos the
competition is fierce.
Different areas of Miami offer a
different kind of staying experience. Downtown is
the business and shopping area and hotels here tend
to be frequented by people visiting Miami on business.
On the other hand if you want to stay up through the
night partying the South Beach is the place to be
- right in the centre of the action. The main hotel
area is Miami Beach and this is the
centre for beach, nightlife and general hustle and
bustle.
Quieter parts of Miami include Coconut Grove area
and the Art Deco District or there are lots of hotels
north of Miami that are right beside the ocean but
are a little more quieter in the evening time.
When booking your Miami Hotel, note
the additional taxes as these can mount up - there
are city and resort taxes and it is as well to be
aware of these and cost them into your room rate.
However all the main websites will make this quite
clear when you are doing your research..
You want luxury and pampering, these top of the range
Miami Hotels might be to your liking:
Doral Golf Resort & Spa

if you have a more modest budget, go for some of
the better value hotels like Hampton Inn, Days Inn
or a Ramada Inn and if the location is right you can
make a good choice. There is also the option of Miami

indeed the some of the bed and bath places can be
