Miami TRAVEL GUIDE AND DEALS

Sprawling, sexy, sometimes unruly, and occasionally outrageous, Greater Miami has become an urban mix unlike any other in America. The beach vacation city of Miami is one part sun-splashed resort playground, one part glamorama party capital, and one part bustling, Latin-flavored sprawl.

Why Go

To party with beautiful people by night and recover on beautiful beaches by day.

Miami Hotels

Thanks to its long vacation-magnet history, Greater Miami has a well-developed hotel and hospitality industry. Some properties date as far back as the '50s and hang on as budget digs, while others, especially in South Beach’s Deco District, have been splendidly refurbished. More properties are on the horizon as well.

Miami Restaurants

No Michelin guide just yet, but both the mainland and Miami Beach have made impressive strides in the past few years, creating a new “Floribbean” blend of restaurants to add to the already plentiful Latin American options.
