Hotel
We have a room block at the Kimpton Surfcomber! The hotel is directly on the beach and in the middle of all the hubbub of South Beach. It is a short walk to the venue and offers a number of perks to guests, like access to beach chairs and umbrellas, rental bikes, a pool, and more. Book your room online by clicking "view" below! A few things to know about the room block: - Online booking is only available for the 1 King rooms and for a 2-night stay from November 14-15. Guests who want to book a different room or arrive earlier / stay later can email Maranda.Smith@surfcomber.com and Danette.Rodriguez@kimptonhotels.com to arrange directly. - Pre- and post-block nights are subject to availability. - The resort fee of $98 will be waived for our group upon check-in. The hotel is not able to remove it from the online system but the exception to the resort fee is in our contract. If the room block fills up or you have any other issues, please email us at amvidaurreta@gmail.com and haroldzhu1@gmail.com so we can coordinate with the hotel.
Flight
Miami International Airport is the closest airport to our venue and has direct flights all over the country. It is an American Airlines hub. Visitors can take a reasonably-priced Uber/Lyft/Taxi or the 150 Miami Beach Express bus to Miami Beach. Ft. Lauderdale International Airport is about a 40-minute drive to Miami Beach and has more options with Jet Blue, Delta, and budget airlines. We recommend coordinating any travel in/out of Ft. Lauderdale to avoid weekday rush hour traffic, which is heavy going towards Miami in the morning and towards Ft. Lauderdale in the afternoon.
Rental Car
Most of our out-of-town guests will be fine without a rental car. South Beach is very walkable with many hotel options near the venue. Also, parking options are terrible!
