Florida Travel: Downtown Miami Hotels
Miami is a city rich in culture and history. With easy access from a variety of downtown Miami hotels, Miamis historical sights are something that should not be missed. For instance, the Freedom Tower stands tall in the center of downtown on Biscayne Boulevard and once was a Cuban Refugee Center. This is the place to which Cubans would come once they deboarded their boats.
Another place to visit while in Miami is the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. This Museum is home to numerous artifacts and artwork from natives of Miami. You can visit the museum at 101 Flagler Street. Also, the Coral Castle has a lot of history to tell. Built more than 60 years ago, this fantasy world is carved out of stone. It is said that the builder, Ed Leedskalnin may have used supernatural powers to create this park as no one ever witnessed his doing so. The Coral Castle is still one of Miamis many mysteries.
Some Great Downtown Miami Hotels
There certainly is no shortage to the number of hotels that can be found downtown. Three of my favorites are the Doubletree Grand Hotel, the Hyatt Regency and the Radisson Miami Hotel. The Doubletree Grand is located on North Bayshore Drive on the waterfront. This hotel offers complimentary health club facilities and high-speed internet access. It overlooks the Port of Miami and is within minutes of the South Beach golf courses, the AA Arena and Bayside Market Place. With luxurious marble bathrooms and pillow-top mattresses with down-filled duvets, this hotel is filled with luxury.
The Hyatt Regency located in downtown Miami offers superb amenities, including turndown services, bathrobes, voice mail and computer data ports. The Hyatt also boasts an outdoor heated swimming pool and a fully equipped exercise facility. For business travelers, it offers a business center, complete with secretarial services, photocopying, packing and shipping, faxing and more. The Radisson Miami hotel overlooks the Miami downtown skyline and is located on Biscayne Boulevard, close to the Port of Miami, the AA Arena and Bayside Marketplace. It is the official hotel used by the Florida Marlins, the Miami Heat and the American Airlines Arena.
