1. Hilton Bentley Miami, South Beach
Hilton Bentley Miami/South Beach is right on the beach. Stroll through gardens packed with swaying palms, lush greenery, and an exotic pool, and you will reach the soft, silver sands of Miami Beach.
This beachfront hotel is in the “SoFi” enclave of South Beach, a short walk from dining, nightlife, and the boardwalk. The Bentley Beach Club offers views of the Atlantic Ocean and access to the pool, fitness center, spa, and hair salon. Enjoy streaming TVs in the rooms, room service, and dining at Santorini by Georgios and Prime Italian Steakhouse.
We think the gorgeous Hilton Bentley Miami, South Beach is the best Hilton in Miami.
2. Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort
Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort is another Hilton in Miami that’s right on the beach. It also has great grounds, but being oceanfront is the big pull to staying here.
This gorgeous Hilton resort is right on the sandy shores, set in a lush green area behind the beachfront sidewalk that runs from one end of the beach to the other. Its location, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with direct access to the beach and the nine-mile Miami Beachwalk, can’t be beaten.
Lincoln Road’s shopping, dining, and Miami Beach Convention Center are within four miles. Features include two ocean-view outdoor pools, poolside cabanas, and a private beach – bliss. Enjoy complimentary bike rentals and a bar with beach service.
3. The Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton
The Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton is not the cheapest Hilton in and around Miami, this prize goes to the Doubletree and the Hampton Inn (which are budget rather than resort hotels), but this Curio Collection hotel is a proper resort hotel.
It does not feel like a budget option, but it is a bargain because it is further north than central Miami. It sits south of Fort Lauderdale and north of Miami Beach in Holywood. Discover the relaxed ambiance of South Florida at this oceanfront retreat.
Tucked away along the shoreline, this lavish resort provides a rejuvenating getaway and gets great reviews. The hotel has two pools overlooking the sea, an entertaining splash pad for kids, and an abundance of weekly events to delight in. With 1,000 feet of immaculate beachfront, immerse yourself in the splendor of Hollywood, Florida, while relishing in stunning vistas, delightful dining options, and perpetual sunshine.
4. DoubleTree Resort & Spa by Hilton Hotel Ocean Point – North
DoubleTree Resort & Spa by Hilton Hotel Ocean Point – North is another beachfront Hilton in Miami. Enjoy Atlantic Ocean views from a high-rise balcony on the beach, with a waterfront, palm-lined pool, loungers, and a poolside bar. Shopping and dining are blocks away, and the Aventura Mall and Brightline Aventura Station are within ten minutes. Every stay starts with a warm Chocolate Chip Cookie.
5. The Gabriel Miami Downtown, Curio Collection by Hilton
The Gabriel Miami Downtown, Curio Collection by Hilton has super stylish communal areas with vivid colors, and the rooms have lovely big windows, many with huge balconies.
While the location of this hotel by I-395/Highway 1, overlooking Biscayne Bay and Maurice A Ferré Park, is a short drive rather than a walk from most places that you want to be as a tourist, this hotel has a very high-end finish, and we love the airy rooms.
The hotel is within a half-mile of Kaseya Center and 10 minutes from downtown Miami. Enjoy the 24-hour fitness center, weekend yoga classes, courtyard and rooftop pools, and library-style lounge.
6. Hilton Aventura, FL
Hilton Aventura, FL is two miles from Aventura Hospital and nine miles from Hard Rock Stadium. Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura Mall, and Gulfstream Park are within ten minutes via the hotel’s afternoon shuttle.
Their restaurant, Gala, serves South American-inspired cuisine, and MuseBar offers specialty cocktails. Guests can enjoy the fitness center, two amenity decks, and poolside cabanas.
The communal areas here are lovely and modern, with stylish fixtures, fittings, and decor in browny oatmeal hues. The rooftop pool here is a highlight, surrounded by astroturf and luxurious cabanas and loungers. This is a nice space to take in the rays.
7. The Gabriel Miami South Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton
Explore the sights and sounds of south Florida at The Gabriel Miami South Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton at this Ocean Drive hotel. The hotel has a resort-style pool and a rooftop pool and some of the other benefits of a larger resort hotel, and you are moments from South Beach and Miami’s legendary strip, bustling with local culture, Art Deco architecture, sidewalk cafes, and boutique shops.
At less than a mile from South Beach and 10 minutes from Lincoln Road, this hotel offers a rooftop pool and oceanfront views.
8. Hilton Miami/Downtown
Hilton Miami/Downtown is not our favorite Hilton, but it offers value and a pool and bar area surrounded by astroturf and boasting sunset and skyline views
Looking out over Biscayne Bay, the hotel’s a mile from Kaseya Center and Bayside Marketplace. South Beach and the Port of Miami are within a 10-minute drive. Explore all of downtown with the free Metromover, which stops around the corner. Every room features floor-to-ceiling windows and modern furnishings.
9. Hilton Grand Vacations at McAlpin-Ocean Plaza
Hilton Grand Vacations at McAlpin-Ocean Plaza is on Ocean Drive, across from Lummus Park Beach, this Art Deco hotel is a registered historic site. South Beach and Lincoln Road Mall are within walking distance and a mile from the Miami Beach Convention Center. Miami International Airport is 10 miles away.
This hotel has a rather small and disappointing rooftop deck and whirlpool, generic and slightly dated suites with full kitchens, and a fitness center.
