Best Hotels near Lummus Park

Nestled on the hopping Collins Avenue by South Beach, the Dream South Beach stands out for its quintessentially Miami Beach art deco design and unique ambient lighting found throughout the hotel. Rooms are the swankiest of swanky, featuring chrome and glass decor, cascading chandeliers, minibars and flat-screen TVs. Despite its cool interiors, some guests complained of the small size of the rooms, while others found that the thin walls limited privacy. But what all guests could agree on was how ridiculously delicious Naked Taco is. After you've gotten your fill of classic Mexican cuisine, consider heading to the chic (but small) rooftop infinity pool for some R&R or indulge at the on-site Shala Spa. Recent guests praised the hotel's prime location, noting that the greatest nightlife venues, shops and restaurants are only a few blocks away.

Describing this Ocean Drive hotel as colorful would be an understatement. In addition to the neon-colored lights that illuminate the Pelican's façade come nightfall, the rooms here boast psychedelic shades of green, yellow, orange and blue. What's more, each accommodation has an equally flashy name, ranging from "Birth of the Bubbles" to "Optique Diabolique" to "Me Tarzan, you Vain" to "Love, Peace and Leafforest." Recent guests love that each room has a unique quality, though they each come with features like recycled oak floors, LCD televisions, iPhone or iPod docking stations and complimentary Wi-Fi access. Previous guests also rave about the fresh seafood served at the in-house RestCafé, which serves dishes like red snapper ceviche, tuna carpaccio and king crab. But according to past visitors, the most impressive aspect of this hotel is its customer service: Guests describe the staff here as friendly and helpful.

Finding a place to unwind in frenetic Miami Beach is key for many vacationers, which is why so many travelers praise The Tides South Beach, located on Ocean Drive by South Beach. This property has a spa-like ambiance that makes it easy for its guests to relax in luxury. Decorated in a neutral color palette and outfitted with modern decor, The Tides South Beach also provides an iPod docking station, a flat-screen TV with a DVD player, a walk-in closet and a Nespresso coffee machine in every room. Extra touches like free beach setup and Wi-Fi access are covered by the property's daily resort fee. What's more, the friendly, accommodating staff receive frequent praise from travelers. However, some visitors warn that – even though the hotel itself doesn't partake in the area's rowdiness – noise from the street and nearby nightlife venues can often disturb a sound sleep. If you need to catch up on some R&R, spend your afternoon lounging by the pool, where attendants will serve you drinks and ensure your comfort. And at the end of the day, grab a bite to eat at The Tides Restaurant and Terrace.

Recent visitors raved about the location, service and relaxing ambiance of the Leslie Hotel. Located on Ocean Drive, across the street from the beach, this canary yellow, 35-room boutique property offers prime access to South Beach's vibrant nightlife and dining scene. But according to past guests, you don't have to go far for either: The on-site Cala Cafe was a hit with past guests for its delicious menu and attentive service, while the rooftop pool and terrace offer a panoramic vantage point for taking in the Miami Beach scene. If you do want to check out the beach, you can borrow beach towels and chairs from the hotel. Reviewers were also impressed with the rooms, which they described as spacious and stylish (rooms average around 350 square feet, while the hotel's two suites span 550 square feet). In addition to their modern design, accommodations are equipped with flat-screen TVs, minifridges and, in the suites, separate showers and bathtubs. You'll find that the hotel's eye for style extends beyond the rooms; the hotel features art deco aesthetics throughout the entire property, an homage to the building's original construction in 1937. Another aspect of the Leslie Hotel that sets it apart from its Ocean Drive neighbors: It boasts its own game room, ideal for those traveling with kids. But if you plan on bringing a car, be prepared to pay more than $36 per day for valet parking.

According to recent guests, The Marlin Hotel offers a great value for its enviable location along Miami Beach's Collins Avenue and near South Beach. Built in the 1930s and renovated in 2016, the art deco boutique hotel welcomes guests with a cocktail and bottled water before they settle into their spacious accommodations. Guest rooms, which are decorated in a contemporary, minimalistic style, are equipped with remote-controlled blackout drapes, flat-screen TVs, Nespresso machines and minibars. Aside from the amenities, recent travelers were impressed with the little touches provided by the hotel, such as beach towels, umbrellas and complimentary continental breakfast each morning. But the hotel's restaurant may be its biggest claim to fame: It's the new home of the award-winning Osteria del Teatro, which originally opened in 1987. Travelers also recommend checking out the restaurants and nightlife situated within walking distance.

Recent vacationers couldn't get enough of Hotel Victor's central location along Miami Beach's Ocean Drive. Sitting right across the street from South Beach, the hotel offers excellent views of Lummus Park and the Atlantic Ocean, with guests recommending booking a higher room for sweeping water vistas.

When you're not enjoying your digs or making use of the nearby sands, you can take advantage of Hotel Victor's infinity pool, 24-hour fitness center and the hammam and Vichy shower room at Spa V. Along with a fantastic location, guests say what made their stay so special was the great customer service exhibited by the property's friendly and helpful staff. However, travelers will be charged a daily resort fee of $18 when staying here.

Conveniently located along Miami Beach's busy Collins Avenue and set just two blocks back from South Beach, this Autograph Collection hotel offers guests convenient access to the area's sights. Though some recent guests bemoaned the size of the rooms (standard accommodations start at 210 square feet), these Marriott-affiliated guest rooms and suites are outfitted with pillow-top mattresses, flat-screen TVs, L'Occitane bath products and complimentary Wi-Fi. When you're ready to explore the grounds, you can cool off in the hotel's small outdoor pool or take a five-minute stroll to the beach. The on-site restaurant, FIX, serves up all-American cuisine, and the Blue Moon Lounge keeps the libations flowing, but recent visitors suggest passing up the pricey dishes and drinks at the hotel in favor of exploring Miami Beach's diverse restaurant and bar scene. Keep in mind, if you're a Marriott Bonvoy member you can earn or redeem points at the Blue Moon Hotel.
