Art Basel Miami Beach Hotels

Where it's all happening...

Art Basel Hotels Miami: Beaux Arts Hotel

Art Basel and Miami Art Week are one of the most sought after weeks to be in Miami. Where to stay will depend largely on your preferences and budget. Hotels in close proximity of the Miami Beach Convention Center where the main Art Basel Exhibition show takes place are in high demand during this time, but with so many events and satellite fairs scattered around Miami and Miami Beach plus a fairly good shuttle / trolley system to get around, your options for convenient accomodation during Art Basel are vast.

Top picks within walking distance of the Miami Beach Convention Center are Miami South Beach Hotels MapThe Betsy, the newly transformed Miami South Beach Hotels Map Ritz Carlton South Beach and the Miami South Beach Hotels Map W South Beach... These hotels are not only within easy reach of the main Art Basel Exhibition Hall but also host many high-caliber art exhibitions of their own private collections and are buzzing with activity, parties, private soirees and the like. You will definitely have a front-row seat to everything Basel from these hotels, another plus is their oceanfront locations if you manage to squeeze some sun and surf among all the happenings.

The Basel vibe spreads to Miami Beach where we also find some gems, in the up-and-coming Faena District Miami South Beach Hotels MapFaena Hotel and Casa Faena will also be centers of activity, Faena hosts its very own Faena Art program during Art Basel Miami Beach in addition to their on-going art and cultural programs in a number of superb venues which are architectural art icons on their own right.

And next-door the Miami South Beach Hotels MapMiami Beach EDITION will go all out at their renowned party hub BASEMENT that houses a nightclub, a bowling alley and an ice-skating rink and plans an unrivaled schedule of events and beach concerts for Art Basel week.

Art Basel and Miami Art week extend from Miami Beach to the mainland where many events will be happening at the up-and-coming neighborhoods of Mid-town, the Design District and Wynwood Arts District. To be close to this action there are two superb choices, brand new Miami South Beach Hotels MapArlo Wynwood and Miami South Beach Hotels MapHyde Suites Midtown which put you right in the heart of the edgy and alternative fairs of these hip neighborhoods and the high-octane designer shopping and fashion mecca of the Design District.

Closer to Downtown, the Miami South Beach Hotels MapHotel Beaux Arts Miami inside the Marriott Marquis is a top luxury boutique choice with its own special exhibition in conjunction with Art Miami.

If retreating to peaceful and relaxing surroundings after a day of Basel pandemonium and art fairs is more your style, consider the Miami South Beach Hotels MapSetai, which is close enough to the action but a world away, or the Miami South Beach Hotels MapMandarin Oriental in private but convenient Brickell Key.

Also for a quieter scene consider some of the areas in Surfside, Sunny Isles or Coconut Grove, which are still within easy reach of all the action and may even be easier on the wallet!

Rates for hotels during Art Basel not surprisingly skyrocket to stratospheric levels. Some of the most popular hotels book a year in advance, so needless to say, reserving your hotel as early as possible is a must during this time.

Please be aware of the many extra fees you may encounter and check what is included in your quoted rate.

Most hotels charge a "Resort Fee" which can run from $20 - $40 per day extra and cover things like beach chairs and umbrellas (yes, seriously). Parking and valet services can tack on an extra $35-$50 per day. Cleaning fees in the case of apartments and rentals are billed per stay, $100 - $150 so consider this if only staying for a couple of days.
