There is a developing hub of global businesses and travel surrounding Miami International Airport.

Miami International Airport (MIA) is the hub of a fast-growing area with new hotels and offices. Marking the corporate and commercial focus is Blue Lagoon Drive directly west of the airport - a beautifully landscaped 12.5-acre tropical peninsula surrounded by a 100-acre freshwater lake. Miami International Airport is minutes away from several popular Miami neighborhoods, including Coral Gables, Doral and Downtown Miami, plus it has easy access to expressways that will drop you off right on Miami Beach or your hotel near the Miami airport.

Like any major international airport, Miami International Airport is surrounded by hotels conveniently located for a layover. Unlike some airports that are located in remote corners off of the city, Miami International Airport is right in the heart of Miami. You'll get a feel for the flavor of Miami before you even leave the airport. The airport's many recent upgrades make Miami International Airport not just a top international airport, but a true welcoming gate for the Miami visitor. Purchase stone crabs to go, order a mojito at the bar or get a taste of Cuban cuisine before you even leave the airport. Welcome to Greater Miami & Miami Beach.
