Though it’s located just across the street from Miami International Airport, the Pullman Miami Airport Hotel brings sophisticated flair to an otherwise humdrum area. A free shuttle service runs to and from the airport every 30 minutes, so arriving couldn’t be easier. After a long flight, you’ll want to settle into one of the 281 rooms and suites featuring colorful decor, free wifi and C.O. Bigelow toiletries. The outdoor pool looks out onto the Blue Lagoon, as do many of the guest rooms.
Neighborhood: The hotel’s immediate surroundings are primarily occupied by office parks: Accenture, FedEx, Boeing and Oracle are just a few of the companies with nearby offices. Still, it’s only a few miles south to the ritzy nabe of Coral Gables or west to the thriving community of Little Havana.

Tower Theater: For Latin-American films and features in a historic cinema
Bar Nancy: For seafaring-themed drinks at a nautical bar
Time Out tip: Traveling with family? The Pullman Miami Airport offers free accommodations and breakfast for up to two children under 12. Guess you can afford to bring the kids along on your next vacation.
