DublinFC Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hello, Just wondering if anyone had a suggestion for hotels by the port that would give good views of the ships in port? I was looking at a list from my TA, but I thought I would ask the group here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Here is a very similar thread from not too long ago: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/boards/index.php?/topic/20918-hotel-recommendation-for-miami/&tab=comments#comment-217679 Matt and AnnetteJackson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Intercontinental is my top pick for Miami, although it is not cheap. The DoubleTree Biscayne Bay is a bit cheaper, and also offers nice views of the port (not as close though) Cruisegirl1976, cruisellama, Ogilthorpe and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Definitely Intercontinental Miami! We book a Bay view room every time. Ogilthorpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 The Kimpton Epic is right next to the Intercontinental, has rooms with a view of the port, is beautiful, and doesn't command the price of the Intercontinental. It may be worth checking out. It's where we stay every time now. JimnKathy, karl_nj and Ogilthorpe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I've stayed at the Doubletree Biscayne Bay and it was a decent hotel. Walking distance to restaurants and a grocery store to pick up wine/water/soda to bring onboard or any last minute things you forgot or didn't want to pack. I made some comments about the hotel (with bad photos) at the beginning of my Thanksgiving 2019 live blog here: AnnetteJackson, Ogilthorpe, Matt and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy & Sheryl Unwin Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Not a hotel with a view, but this is the one we use for Miami departures. Its close to the port and there are plenty of restuarants in the area withing easy walking distance COURTYARD MIAMI DOWNTOWN/BRICKELL AREA 200 SE Second Avenue, Miami, Florida 33131 USA +1 305-374-3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The room had a small balcony with a fun view of the Miami River; I enjoyed watching all the traffic on the river. Whenever a drawbridge opened, it causes chaos on the roads. We got upgraded to a junior suite, so we had a nice sitting area to relax. If you have an Amex Platinum card, they do participate in the FHR program, so we also got breakfast included and a $100 F&B credit.

GaryAA Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Marriott Biscayne Bay. It is next to the Doubletree with a mini strip mall between the 2 buildings that includes a few restaurants and shops.
