Best Hotels near University of Miami

This chic boutique hotel is located in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, just north of Miami, offering a quiet respite from the party hard city but a convenient location close enough to visit the shops and restaurants found in Bal Harbour. The rooms here are dressed in white linens with pops of magenta and lime and are equipped with 42-inch HDTVs, iPod docking stations and Keurig coffee makers. Some guests found the accommodations to be small and in need of an update, but any issues brought to the hotel are met with a smile and solution. Hotel guests are treated to complimentary breakfast each morning (which is covered by the property's $15 "urban fee"), though some recent visitors note the offerings aren't anything spectacular. The Palm Restaurant, however, earns praise for its delectable (albeit a tad expensive) dishes. And while it doesn't offer a pool like other Miami-based properties, the daddy O hotel miami is just a short drive (or walk) to the beaches that line Florida's eastern coast.

Located a few blocks northwest of The Magnificent Mile in the Gold Coast area, Claridge House appeals to vacationers who desire a neighborhood feel without straying too far from downtown Chicago's amenities. Though you could easily spend your entire stay visiting the nearby eateries and beaches, travelers recommend saving time for a drink or meal in the lobby restaurant, Juniper Spirits & Oysters. The hotel also houses fitness and business centers and a spa that offers facials, nail services and waxing treatments. After a busy day on or off the property, retreat to your guest room or suite. All 165 pet-friendly accommodations feature neutral color schemes and come outfitted with complimentary Wi-Fi access, pillow-top beds, minifridges, coffee makers and flat-screen TVs. Select rooms also boast gas fireplaces, while suites offer separate living areas and an additional bathroom. Despite some reports of inadequate soundproofing inside the accommodations, most past guests appreciated the comfortable beds and tasteful decor.

At the Bal Harbour Quarzo Boutique Hotel, the amenities are abundant and the location is quiet, making it a great choice for families and couples looking for an uninterupted getaway. As its name suggests, this boutique property is located just 8 miles north of Miami Beach in the calmer Bal Harbour area. Accommodations at this hotel are sleek and contemporary, featuring Italian linens, kitchens, blackout drapes and flat-screen TVs. When it comes to the staff, some guests cite a few customer service snafus; however, others are impressed with the impeccable state of the suites. While here, you'll have access to the property's section of shoreline, where you'll find lounge chairs and parasols and indulge in beach food and beverage services. If you can, guests suggest paying the extra price for a suite on the higher floors. The closer you get to the bottom, the noiser it becomes, not to mention the really ugly views.
