Hop in the free airport shuttle for an effortless journey to this boutique hotel just north of Miami International Airport. Like many area hotels, EB Hotel offers a full-sized gym, outdoor pool, on-site restaurant and full bar. Business travelers will be pleased to hear that EB Hotel caters to their needs with a specially designed business suite with a small meeting area in addition to the standard bathroom and bedroom. The hotel also features three large conference rooms for larger meetings. On vacation? You can class it up in a suite with a balcony and jacuzzi tub, but even the standard rooms come with a few fancy amenities. Once you slip on the Turkish cotton robes that the hotel lays out in each room, you’ll at least feel like you’re living the life of luxury.
Neighborhood: Its location on the north side of the airport puts EB Hotel Miami Airport near another ‘hood: Miami Springs, one of the first planned communities in Florida. These days, it’s a relatively quiet suburban community full of mom and pop shops.
Nearby:
La Camaronera: For lobster poppers, fish fingers and popcorn shrimp that have been featured on Food Network
Futurama: For fascinating gallery shows by primarily Cuban artists
Union Beer Store: For the rotating selection of local, American-made and internationally brewed suds
Time Out tip: Guests wanting some time to commune with nature might want to check out Amelia Earhart Park. Though it’s a solid 20-minute drive from the hotel, the park offers something for everyone: Kiddos will find endless entertainment in the farm village, petting zoo, skate park and playground, while grown-up adventure seekers can rent mountain bikes to traverse the park’s well-maintained trails.
