Magic City Getaway - The Top Destinations Near Hotels in Miami

By Eric Sidone



Surrounded by miles of sandy beaches, iconic architecture and legendary hotspots, Miami is one of the few cities that, after more than 100 years on "the scene," has managed to sustain its cache.

So what makes this city so special? Maybe it's the perennially chic hotels in Miami or the warm, sultry breezes that waft in from the Atlantic. Perhaps it's the laid-back vibe the city gets from its Latin American and Caribbean neighbors - or the effortless style of its residents. Whatever "it" is, you'll definitely want to hit some of the city's landmarks and hangouts to find it. So when you're looking for hotels in Miami, book your stay at a place that offers easy access to these one-of-a-kind destinations:

• Vizcaya Museum. In the city's Coconut Grove area, this Italian Renaissance-style villa - and its 10 acres of formal gardens - was Miami's first truly lavish residence. Today, it's a museum filled with unique art, stunning décor and ornate gardens.

•  Little Havana. Just minutes from some of the top hotels in Miami, Little Havana is a vibrant community filled with pulsing music, charming restaurants and colorful artwork. Don't forget to take a stroll down Calle Ocho or sip a cup of the area's rich Cuban coffee.

• South Beach. With its sparkling waters, warm beaches, Art Deco architecture, stylish boutiques and more than 150 nightclubs and restaurants, SoBe is one of the chicest spots in town and a true "must-see."


• Miami Seaquarium. Located near many family-friendly hotels in Miami, the Seaquarium features 38-acres of aquatic exhibits, marine animal shows and, if you plan ahead, the chance to swim with dolphins by joining the Seaquarium's WADE program.

•  Miami Art Museum. In the heart of Downtown Miami, this world-class museum showcases works from the 20th and 21st centuries by renowned artists throughout the western hemisphere. Artists in the museum's permanent collection include: Gerhard Richter, Christo, Francesco Clemente and Guillermo Kuitca. Recent traveling exhibitions included "Carlos Bunga: Metamorphosis" and "Space as Medium."

If you're planning more than a weekend getaway at one of the many hotels in miami, there are far more places to see. For the best information about the events and attractions throughout the city, pick up a newspaper, get a newly printed guide book and talk to your hotel's concierge. After all, almost no one knows better what's hot and happening in the city than the people who work at hotels in Miami.
