HOLIDAY INN MIAMI BEACH-OCEANFRONT BY IHG, Miami Beach

The hotel is located directly on the beach, separated only by a public walkway, providing immediate sand and surf access. South Beach and Lincoln Road's shops and nightlife are a 3-minute drive or a short trolley ride - the public bus and trolley stop is near the hotel entrance. The Miami Beach Convention Center is 3 km away, and the cruise port terminal is about 25 minutes by car. The area also offers several restaurants within walking distance, including nearby options such as Aqua, Soho Beach House, and Sungrass Cafe. A walking and biking path runs parallel to the beach directly outside the hotel. For those renting a car, Sixt and Alamo rental services are available on-site.

Rooms feature traditional decor and are equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a work desk, a mini-fridge, and tea and coffee-making facilities. Private bathrooms are standard, and some rooms include a bathtub. For an ocean view, you must book an Oceanfront category; standard rooms do not guarantee any view. King rooms can accommodate an extra bed for $15 daily, while rooms with two double beds cannot take a rollaway due to fire safety rules. Bed type preference is allocated upon arrival based on availability. Some rooms have been recently renovated and have comfortable beds and soft linens, though other areas may show wear. The property has an elevator and rooms are non-smoking throughout, with a designated garden smoking area.

Paradise Cafe is open all day and offers an à la carte breakfast each morning, plus a full American buffet with hot items like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, pancakes, oatmeal, fruits, and cold deli meats. À la carte breakfast prices range from $8 to $15, and the buffet costs $30 per person. Kids' meals are available free when an adult entree is purchased. The Blue Parrot Bar serves a full bar and snacks, with cocktail service also available at the pool and beach. Late-night food is limited, though a nearby club (Liv at the Fontainebleau) is within walking distance. The hotel has vending machines for drinks and snacks.

The outdoor swimming pool features sun loungers and is open daily from 07:00 to 18:00. The hotel offers a free fitness centre that follows enhanced cleaning standards. A standout feature is the complimentary morning yoga class held by the pool - a well-received wellness activity.
