Travel Note
We recommend staying anywhere in the Miami area, including Miami Beach, North Miami, Brickell, Downtown, Coconut Grove, or Coral Gables. There are plenty of hotels and vacation rental options to choose from. While Miami is large (and yes, the traffic has a reputation!), getting to The Palms Hotel from these areas is fairly easy. If you’d like any help with accommodations, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Travel Note
Travel Tips • South Beach is easy to navigate—walking, bikes, ride-shares, scooters are all great options. • If you’re booking at a different hotel or have questions, just reach out—we’re happy to help!
