$$$, Downtown
Fodor's Review:
This 31-story tourist-friendly waterfront property overlooking Biscayne Bay is a stone's throw from the new Carnival Center for the Performing Arts. It's also convenient to Bayside Marketplace, AmericanAirlines Arena, and the rest of downtown. For business travelers there are "Rooms That Work," with work stations, and an executive floor. The Bay View Grille and Lounge has floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the marina. Most rooms have excellent views looking out at the port of Miami and the MacArthur Causeway. Pro: Shuttle to Bayside and Port of Miami. Con: Not a leisure hotel, geared toward port and business travelers.
