If you’re looking for a hotel near Ultra Miami, but won’t stay in Downtown or super close to Bayfront Park, Brickell could be your best choice.

Brickell is the Miami’s financial hub. Overlooking Biscayne Bay, it is home to many shiny business towers and high-end houses. Bankers and businesspeople like rooftop bars and surf ‘n’ turf grills.

The area is just minutes away by car from Ultra Music Festival. If you don’t have a car while visiting you can still take Uber or, even better, the metro mover will bring you in just a couple of minutes at Bayfront Park.

If you love walking, Bayfront Park and Brickell are less than 30 minutes away.

Miami Brickell hotels, just a couple of minutes from Ultra Music Festival

During our times at Ultra Miami, we have chosen Brickell several times while staying at the hotels. There are several interesting options in the area like the Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami, the EAST Miami, or the famous W Miami.

All of them are near the waterfront, with a nice view of the ocean as well as very close to Mary Brickell Village. If you want to go shopping or have a decent dinner after Ultra Music Festival, you’re covered.

Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami

The Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami has beautiful views of Biscayne Bay, right in the middle of Miami’s business and financial area. In Miami’s Brickell area, sparkling skyscrapers stand tall above the beautiful Biscayne Bay. Brickell is the city’s most important financial area, but it’s also a lively place to hang out at night when the cafés, clubs, and shops along Brickell Avenue come to life. The Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami puts you right in the middle of all the action, even for the Ultra Music Festival.

Hyatt Centric Brickell was our first choice back in 2019 when we were looking for a hotel near Ultra Miami. Rooms’ prices start at around $ 1150 per night

EAST Miami

EAST Miami is in the middle of the Brickell area and has high-end shops, a movie theater, restaurants, bars, a spa, and more.

The rooms and suites are tastefully decorated and have modern conveniences like floor-to-ceiling windows and a walk-in rain shower. Each room has a big balcony and a place to make tea and coffee. For your entertainment, all rooms have 50-inch flat-screen TVs.

Bask in the Florida sun and enjoy the view of Miami from our 15th-floor pool after getting into your high-end hotel room. At ADDIKT, W Hotel’s flagship restaurant, you can enjoy food from around the world while taking in the view of Miami.

The Iconbrickell Spa has a water lounge, a steam room, and a sauna for you to relax in after a busy day raving at Ultra Music Festival. Rooms’ prices start at around $ 850 per night.

Miami Beach and its hotels

If Downtown Miami and Brickell are not for you, we can suggest having a look at Miami Beach. You will find the iconic Ocean Drive with tons of hotels to choose from.

We have to warn you tho. Even if during the Miami Music Week (the period in which Ultra Music Festival is held) tons of parties and events are located in various hotels in Miami Beach, Ultra Music Festival is not so close to the area.

Choosing a hotel in Miami Beach means you’ll need a car or, at least call an Uber or a taxi to reach Downtown Miami.

We would avoid Miami Beach if you’re looking for hotels near Ultra Music Festival. If you don’t mind calling a taxi or an Uber, that could be the perfect choice if you want the famous Miami Beach Pool Parties experience as well as attending Ultra Miami.

When no traffic, Miami Beach is 15 minutes by car close to Bayfront Park. During Ultra Music Festival Miami expects traffic congestion and an increase in requests for Uber and taxis, especially at the end of each day of the event.
