InterContinental Miami

Quiet rooms with high quality beds, and a prime downtown waterfront location five minutes from the Port of Miami, makes the InterContinental a go-to for cruise passengers. But biz travelers choose it, too, for its helpful staff; and rooftop pool area with requisite bar, DJ and brand-new and quite chic poolside cabanas. Its proximity to pretty much everything—restaurants, bars, shops, and attractions—is the biggest draw. The $33/night resort fee can potentially be a wash as it gives guests a $20 spa credit and $13 allowance in the restaurant, Toro Toro, the hotel’s pan-Latin steakhouse featuring the acclaimed cuisine of chef Richard Sandoval.
