As you can see, there is no shortage of hotel rooms close to Miami International Airport, and Travelated has just the right one for you! The properties recommended above are just a sample of what’s available on our website. Of course, due to seasonality in Miami, not every hotel will be available on every date, so we strongly suggest making your reservations as early as possible.

Be aware that while the Miami area does have many thousands of hotel rooms, they do fill up during peak wintertime periods, and during major sporting events and major concerts that come to town.

Travelated also offers incredible prices at dozens of popular hotels on Miami Beach, downtown, the adjacent Wynwood and Brickell neighborhoods, and throughout Greater Miami and nearby Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood.

But a final reminder that “the early bird gets the worm” is definitely true during peak season travel to Miami and all of South Florida. Plan early and book early to ensure that the hotel you desire is available for your visit.
