February 2019 Hotel Miami

[GabbyKeira]

Hello all - this will be my first time cruising out of Miami. There will be five of us and we are looking for a hotel that has a suite we can call fit in (3 adults, 2 children). Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

February in Miami is peak time so expect rates to be very high.

 

There are several locals here on the boards that I am sure will chime in with their recommendations soon.

 

But I would make reservations immediately if possible.

 

Have a wonderful cruise!!

Thank you so much - adding on to that...do you prefer flying into Fort Lauderdale and staying there instead?

I see from your roll call posts you are boarding Symphony of the Seas on February 16.

 

President's Day Weekend is one of, if not the, busiest of the year in South Florida. Flying down that Friday you need to start looking for your flights, and deciding whether to fly to MIA or FLL, ASAP (pardon the alphabet soup).

 

If you find a flight into FLL that arrives late in the day it is best to stay near that airport. More transportation options Saturday morning than Friday evening.

 

Do you have a budget in mind? There are Embassy Suites location near both airport but will likely be $300+ for that night. The nearest hotel to PortMiami that I have discovered allowing more than four in a room is the Homewood Suites Brickell.

Thank you so much for your advice - we actually have plans to fly down that Thursday - but I agree booking now is the way to go. Thank you so much.

If you want a suite in Fort Lauderdale, check out Hyatt Place near 17th Street. You may get a deal by booking through www.valutrips.com their calendar for next year will be released soon. It does take them awhile to get back with you. We have stayed at Hyatt Place several times...always satisfied with the room & staff. You will be walking distance to many restaurants & some shopping.

 

There are already some posts Hyatt Place on this forum that may have more information.
