Find the perfect bed and breakfast or quaint hotel for your next visit.

Bars B&B South Beach

Among the fabulous hotels in Miami Beach, venture to Bars B&B South Beach. In a quiet South Beach neighborhood on exclusive Lenox Avenue, this tranquil boutique retreat has just over 2,000 square feet of living space. The 7 guest rooms are decked out in white linens, color-rich art and soft white lighting to make you feel at ease. Try the popular Nutella Banana Pancakes or omelets filled with your favorite ingredients served during the complimentary breakfast. Complimentary wine and cheese is also served on weekends.

A helpful on-site concierge can suggest things to do while you’re in Miami. Bars B&B provides a lush, outdoor Asian-style garden beautifully adorned with statues, a Zen gazebo and plush lounge chairs.

Villa Venezia B&B

The name of this Miami Beach bed and breakfast evokes visions of a rustic Italian villa, and the Villa Venezia B&B on Lenox Avenue in South Beach does not disappoint. With more than 5,000 square feet of space, up to 12 guests can utilize the bed and breakfast as their vacation home. Six guest rooms are opulently painted in royal blue and white with hardwood floors and sheer curtains.

The complimentary breakfast is continental, but it’s not the typical bread and cereal. You’ll enjoy the fresh, cook-to-order or buffet style of options, especially the omelets. Jewel-toned furnishings in the dining areas and proximity to all that South Beach has to offer enhance your stay here. A scenic sun terrace and picnic areas are available. Villa Venezia is known for its fine customer service, and the staff is known to speak several languages. Parking is complimentary for registered guests, too.

Local House Miami

Local House Miami, a boutique hotel on Ocean Drive, is situated just south of Fifth Street, giving it a completely different vibe from its neighbors to the north. Quieter, with guestrooms featuring a crisp, coastal decor in striped blues and tans, this 18-room inn offers ocean views, a rooftop pool, complimentary yoga classes at nearby State of Yoga and occasional live music performances. Although meals are not included with some room rates, the downstairs restaurant is popular among locals, serving crowd-pleasing brunch, where their Lobster Eggs Benedict is king. Guests can also enjoy lunch and drinks, while dinner is served Wednesdays through Sundays. The hotel’s knowledgeable, friendly staff will help you experience South Beach like a local.

The on-site River House Wine & Bar is a local favorite, featuring a vintage bar, tasty empanadas and charcuterie boards – a perfect outdoor vibe to unwind with friends or loved ones. Don’t miss the lush grounds, antique bus, movie room, outdoor pool and complimentary morning yoga lessons at this charming hotel.

Dunns-Josephine Hotel

If staying overnight in handsomely appointed suites named after historical figures like Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald or the Nicholas Brothers intrigues you, then the Dunns-Josephine Hotel is an ideal choice. This 15-room boutique property offers a variety of queen, king and double rooms, complete with jewel-toned corridors to honor Miami and Harlem Renaissance decor. A light continental breakfast is included with the rate. Guests can snack on nutrition bars, oatmeal, grits, pastries and more.

The lobby expresses African American culture through bold prints and fabrics that its neighborhood, Historic Overtown represents. The second floor features national visual artists’ works available for purchase. Enjoy the intimacy of the bed and breakfast’s quiet street and its convenience to area attractions, including the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater, where many of the best-in-class entertainers (and namesakes of the suites) played from the 1930s-1950s. The area is also minutes from popular stops like Lil Greenhouse Grill and Downtown Miami.
