Five-star towers · oceanfront icons · design hotels
Miami does luxury in a few distinct dialects: glassy bayfront towers in Brickell, oceanfront resorts on Collins Avenue, and design-forward boutiques tucked into Coconut Grove and Mid-Beach. These are the properties on TheMiamiHub rated 4.5 stars and up — where the pool deck, the service, and the address all pull their weight.
