Brickellwhere to stay.

Brickell is Miami’s polished “mini-Manhattan” of glass towers and high-end retail, so it suits travellers who want an upscale downtown skyline view and easy access to excellent restaurants. For accommodation, the best match to this vibe is Suites At Sls Lux Brickell Managed By Ce (5★) (guest 9), Kimpton Epic Miami Hotel (5★) (guest 8.8) or Hotel Beaux Arts Autograph Collection (5★) (guest 8.8), while Novotel Miami Brickell (4★) (guest 8.6) is the smart-value option if you still want to be right in the action. If you prefer apartment-style living, consider Iconbrickell Tower 3 W Residences (guest 8.8).

Most attractions are walkable around the Brickell core—especially around Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village, both known for shopping plus day-to-night dining. (marybrickellvillage.com, brickellmag.com) For classic waterfront views, head to Bayfront Park and the downtown-bay skyline walk.

Dining is diverse and concentrated, ranging from casual hotspots to slick, upscale menus within the Brickell cluster—so you can switch between quick bites and proper dinners without long commutes. Nightlife leans more “lounge + cocktails” than dive-bar energy, with many spots centred around Brickell’s restaurant-and-hotel strip.
