More about Greater Miami

Thankfully, you can rest assured that whichever five-star property you choose for your sun-soaked getaway, you’ll find a glamorous and characterful atmosphere – perfect for enjoying an unparalleled level of luxury.
If you’re after the campy decadence that made Miami a staple of 80s and 90s cinema, you can’t beat a trip to South Beach. This electrifying neighbourhood is also home to one of the USA’s most beautiful and lively beaches.

Is Greater Miami LGBTQ+ friendly?
Miami is one of the great LGBTQ+ destinations in the United States. The city and Miami Beach have large, visible LGBTQ+ communities, and South Beach has been a gay favorite for decades, with the beach around 12th Street and a busy calendar of events, including Miami Beach Pride each spring.
Wilton Manors, just north in Greater Fort Lauderdale, is one of the most concentrated gay neighborhoods in the country and an easy add-on.
Florida as a whole is more divided on LGBTQ+ issues, and state laws on education and gender have drawn attention in recent years, but Miami’s hotels, restaurants and nightlife are diverse, international and welcoming. We choose hotels where you will be welcomed as a couple, in the middle of South Beach or somewhere quieter.
