Gabriel Miami Downtown, Curio Collection by Hilton

Gabriel, part of the Hilton’s collection of upscale chain hotels, is a 129-room hotel occupying the first 15 floors of a residential building in Downtown Miami. Digs here are spacious and stylish, with very plush platform beds, astonishing views of Biscayne Bay, and strong showers. There are two pools on the 14th-floor pool deck: a serene resort-style rooftop pool and an infinity lap pool with sublime views of the Intracoastal, Miami Beach, the Port of Miami, and Biscayne Bay. If you’re not feeling the apartment-living-as-hotel vibes, choose from one of the 28 cabana rooms, which offer seating surrounding the pool. There are three restaurants and the nightly resort fee includes a $25 food and beverage credit. There’s also a 24-hour-gym and free shuttle to the hotel’s South Beach sibling at 640 Ocean Drive.
