Downtown Miami Hotels

Bayside · Kaseya Center · 5 minutes to the cruise port

Home › Hotels › Downtown Miami

Downtown Miami sits at the northern edge of PortMiami's orbit — the cruise terminal is a five-minute drive over Port Boulevard, and Bayside Marketplace is right on the water with restaurants, live music, and boat tours.

Kaseya Center, home of the Miami Heat, anchors the neighborhood for concerts and basketball. Downtown is less polished than Brickell but more central — a practical base for exploring multiple parts of the city without committing to one end of Miami.
