Top-rated hotels in Miami Beach
This shortlist gathers the top-rated hotels in Miami Beach, drawn from a list of 46 stays that are all four or five star. It is for travellers who want a high guest score first and a star class second, whether they are booking a couple's break or a family stay.
Staying in Miami Beach
Miami Beach sits in Florida, and every one of the 46 places listed here is classed four or five star by the booking supplier, with 11 of them five star. All 46 carry a guest score from verified stays, and this page opens on the best supported of those, so the names below have both a high score and a substantial number of reviews behind it.
The addresses run along Collins Avenue and its neighbours, from 40 Island Ave and 1 Lincoln Rd in the south up to 10295 Collins Ave in the north, with a single entry on Ocean Drive. That spread means the shortlist covers a range of positions along the beach rather than one cluster. With scores from 4.3 to 4.7, it suits couples and business travellers who want a known class of hotel, and families comparing larger properties on the strength of past guests' verdicts.
