With downtown Miami’s nightlife and dining scenes on the upswing, staying in South Beach puts you far away from the action. YVE Hotel, located just across the street from Bayside Marketplace, is near it all: head north five minutes to Wynwood, drive over the MacArthur Causeway to Miami Beach and walk south on Biscayne Boulevard to Brickell, where you’ll find some of the hottest restaurants and rooftop bars. Location comes at the expense of amplitude, as rooms tend to be on the smaller side. Basic amenities are included in the price of your stay, but valet is extra and rather expensive. Compensate for parking with discounted drinks at Biscayne Tavern, the downstairs pub with a daily happy hour.
Neighborhood: Downtown Miami is growing fast and you've got a good view of it all from here. Plus, the Metromover makes this one of Miami's few areas where free public transportation makes sense.
Nearby:
The Corner: Cozy cocktail bar that gets packed with party people from the adjacent clubs
Fooq’s: One of the most exciting restaurants in Miami, dishing out French/Persian fare
The Wharf: Always-packed waterfront bar with food trucks and plenty of champagne
Time Out tip: You’re across the street from two huge Miami venues: Bayfront Park Amphitheatre and the American Airlines Arena. Check their event calendars—chances are, your stay will coincide with a cool concert or event.
