Hyatt Regency Miami

Hyatt Regency Miami is a large convention-oriented hotel at 400 SE 2nd Avenue in Downtown Miami, Florida, beside the Miami River and connected to the James L. Knight Center. The location is next to the Metromover stop at Riverwalk, which links the hotel to Brickell, Bayfront Park, Bayside Marketplace and the Design District without needing a car. Miami International Airport is about 15 minutes away by car, and PortMiami's cruise terminals are a short ride from the hotel. The property is a mid-range, practical hotel in a long-standing riverside tower, designed more for events and business travel than for resort-style leisure, though its position makes it a handy base for exploring Downtown. Rooms include King Rooms, Two Queen Rooms and Suites, with higher floors offering views of the river, the bay or the city skyline. Amenities include an outdoor pool, an on-site restaurant, a fitness centre, extensive convention and meeting space, and valet parking. Dining on site serves breakfast and later meals, and the Riverwalk and Downtown areas provide many more restaurants and bars within walking distance. The direct link to the James L. Knight Center makes the hotel popular with conference attendees, trade-show visitors and groups, and the service character is that of an organised, business-friendly hotel with a concierge desk and event staff. Families and budget-conscious leisure visitors also use it as a central, mid-priced option compared with the luxury towers along Biscayne Boulevard. Nightly rates generally run about $200-$400 USD before taxes and fees, moving higher during major conventions, winter high season and Formula 1 weekend. With a 4.1 rating, Hyatt Regency Miami is a sensible choice for visitors who want a connected, transit-friendly Downtown base beside the Miami River.
