Hotels we recommend

The Hyatt Centric Hotel is in the middle of all the action in Miami Beach with access to fine art by Mexican artist Rodolfo Choperena and delicious Spaniard food from Executive Chef William Milian.

Nautilus, a SIXTY Hotel, the official Hotel Partner for the Art Basel Miami Beach show. It offers a salt-water pool and bar surrounded by cabanas; and a playful lawn setting with Bohemian hammocks that overlooks the beach. This gem is located in the heart of Miami's Art Deco district. Don't forget to check out the Artsy, the online resource for art collecting and education, on a series of projects all week featuring artists including Dan Colen, Katherine Bernhardt, Mira Dancy, Nicolas Lobo, and more.

The Hotel Croydon is also an exceptional choice for those who are attending this year’s celebration as one it is close to all the action, but far enough to catch one’s breath and settle back after a day browsing enthralling galleries, boutiques, murals, and restaurants.
