Insider Tips for Miami
- ✓ South Beach hotels charge resort fees ($30-60/night) on top of room rates — factor this into your budget
- ✓ Uber or Lyft is essential — Miami's public transport outside of Brickell is limited
- ✓ Cuban coffee (cortadito) from Versailles or La Carreta is a must — it's a cultural institution, not just caffeine
- ✓ Art Basel (December) makes hotel prices soar by 200-300% — book 6+ months ahead or avoid the first week of December
- ✓ Beach access is free everywhere in Miami — you don't need to stay at a beachfront hotel to enjoy the sand

Should I book hotels in Miami (2026) in advance?
Yes, advance booking is recommended for Miami (2026), especially during peak travel season and around major events or holidays.
