Miami always buzzes, but the excitement reaches fever pitch with the arrival of Art Basel in December. As the city transforms into a global hub for art and culture, the demand for exceptional accommodations soars. Whether you’re an art aficionado, a seasoned collector or someone simply craving a vibrant Miami experience, Forbes Travel Guide has curated a list of the best hotels in Miami to ensure your stay is as inspiring as the art itself.

You can trust Forbes Travel Guide’s exclusive list — we have been rating hotels since 1958 using an objective and independent process. To find the best hotels in Miami, our incognito inspectors posed as ordinary guests and stayed multiple nights at each property. The inspectors tested hundreds of exacting standards, with an emphasis on exceptional service, which accounts for 70% of a property’s rating.



The remaining 30% comes from the quality and condition of the facilities. FTG does not require a business relationship from the properties it rates, and it does not earn a commission if you book one of the following hotels.
