Where to Stay in Miami Right Now: The Expedia Data Tells You Exactly Which Hotels Are Worth It
Part of our ongoing curation of what it means to live, love, and play in the Magic City.
The Miami hotel market is large, loud, and full of marketing. Every property claims to be exceptional. The Expedia guest scores — aggregated from verified stays — cut through that noise. PGM pulled the full results page and identified every property scoring 9.0 or above. Here is what the data says, organized by neighborhood.
The Moore Miami leads the entire page with a 9.8 out of 10 from 62 reviews — the highest score in the market. Multi-level atrium, green pathway through the building, two restaurants, bar and lounge. The Moore is the most underreported exceptional hotel in Miami. If you are staying in the Design District, this is the answer.
Domus Brickell Park scores 9.6 with 58 reviews at $272 a night — rooftop pool, balcony, hot tub, and the strongest value proposition in the exceptional tier. EAST Miami scores 9.2 with 4,226 reviews — connected to Brickell City Centre, private balconies, award-winning dining, and one of the largest verified review samples in the city. The InterContinental Miami under Gencom scores 9.4 with 2,577 reviews — spa, buffet restaurant, bar and lounge, Biscayne Bay location.
The Shelborne by Proper scores 9.4 with 233 reviews — a historic property that just joined Design Hotels, with private beach access and a spa. The Faena scores 9.2 with 911 reviews — the most theatrical hotel on the beach, with two renowned restaurants and an Art Deco identity that no competitor can replicate.
The 27 Wynwood scores 9.4 with 143 reviews — rooftop terrace, Italian restaurant, bar and lounge. Wynwood now has a hotel that matches the neighborhood's ambition. Stay here if you want to be in the art district rather than commuting to it.
The Biltmore scores 9.4 with 1,005 reviews — a 1926 National Historic Landmark with a Donald Ross golf course and the most famous hotel pool in South Florida. This is not a hotel. It is a destination.
The Vagabond Hotel on Biscayne Boulevard scores 9.4 with 572 reviews — a thoughtfully restored mid-century property in the MiMo District with an outdoor pool, parking included, and a restaurant. Most hotel guides overlook it. The guest scores do not.
The exceptional tier in Miami is real and it is wide. The data does not lie. Book from this list and you will not be disappointed.
