The hotel

Immerse yourself in the spirit of Miami, with a stay at Hotel Breakwater. In the heart of Ocean Drive in the iconic Art Deco district, and just steps from South Beach, you’ll be surrounded by the excitement that’s made Miami famous. Complimentary bicycle rental makes exploring more fun, although it’s just as easy to get around on foot. So, why not head to one of the nearby galleries, or treat yourself to some retail therapy? Cool off in the glass enclosed pool, and be sure to make time for a bite to eat at Ocean’s Ten, where your al fresco meal comes with a side of people watching.

My second visit to Breakwater Hotel in Miami and it still gave me the same Miami beach vibe I experienced the first time. It's right in the middle of Ocean drive. Kai was excellent and looked after us so well. Highly recommended.

Hotel Breakwater is an iconic art deco hotel and well worth the visit. Our holiday in Miami was fabulous, and the Breakwater and its staff were all part of it. Lily and Kai were fantastic hosts, really friendly, helpful, and providing great suggestions on where to go for food, drinks, or to visit. If we needed anything at the hotel, the staff were into it right away, and nothing was any problem. They couldn't have been better. Above all, they were smiley and happy, as were all the staff. The hotel itself is in a great location right across from the beach with us lovely promenade and in the centre of all the restaurants and bars and, of course, shops! A brilliant hotel in wonderful Miami! Read less
