DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay

On Biscayne Bay in downtown Miami, this waterfront condo-hotel puts you steps from the marina and city sights. Walk to the Adrienne Arsht Center, Bayside Marketplace and the Brickell financial district. PortMiami and cruise terminals are a short hop away, making the property a popular pre-cruise stay. Miami International Airport is roughly 15 minutes by car.

A full-service waterfront property with about 219 guestrooms plus one- and two-bedroom condo units. Many rooms offer bay, park or garden views, marble baths, pillow-top mattresses, in-room coffee makers and executive desks. Expect roomy suites and condo-style accommodations for extended stays or family trips.

Olympic-size heated outdoor pool, marina access with scenic charters and fishing trips, tennis and sand-volleyball courts, spa, sauna and outdoor jacuzzi. On-site salon and concierge services keep things easy. Fitness center and poolside spots let you wake up to bay breezes and then cool off with a swim.

Extensive meeting and event facilities including a grand ballroom and a terrace overlooking Biscayne Bay. 24-hour business center, conference rooms and high-speed wired and wireless internet available (surcharge). Cruise-terminal shuttle service offered for an extra fee.

Multiple on-site outlets — several restaurants, a steakhouse serving Argentinean-style cuts, a kitchen-bar, deli/cafe and a lounge. Full breakfasts are available daily for a fee, snacks and poolside options are handy, and limited room service is offered during set hours.
