Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay  

On Miami’s Biscayne Bay, this waterfront hotel drops you in the heart of the city. It’s a short stroll to the Perez Art Museum and the Frost Museum of Science, and close to the city’s main sports and concert arena and downtown shopping — perfect for culture, concerts, and cruise-day plans.

Rooms (about 600) come with Smart TVs, refrigerators and pillowtop beds with down comforters and premium bedding. Expect sweeping bay-and-city views from private balconies, a newly added fifth-floor rooftop for skyline backdrops, terraces and garden spots, and a fresh first-floor lounge to recharge before you head out.

Dive into an outdoor pool, hit the 24-hour fitness center, or sip at the poolside bar with sea-breeze mornings on offer. Concierge services, gift shops and a terrace/garden add convenience, while 24-hour room service and a lively rooftop set the tone for evenings.

Large-scale meeting capabilities include up to roughly 20,000 sq ft of event space and some two dozen-plus meeting rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows. A business center, express check-in/check-out and wireless internet access keep things efficient.

Waterfront dining focuses on fresh, local flavors with a seafood-forward menu and citrus-based craft cocktails. There’s also an ocean-view grill, a coffee shop/café, a bar/lounge and a poolside bar — plus buffet breakfasts (fees may apply) and 24-hour room service for late-night cravings.
