Miami boat show hotel
 

Anyone have any suggestions on reasonably priced hotels for the Miami Boat Show. Have stayed at a few different ones on Collins and have had NO good luck, need help. Would like to be within walking distance of Convention Center.

The Shelborne is a pretty good bet and does not break the bank.

Winter Haven

Back when we were ate up with it we always stayed at the Riu. (I know their prices used to be unreal, but steadily climbed over the years.) The pool and poolside bar is very nice! And the upgrade for an oceanfront room with balcony seating is well worth it...for those after party cocktails!

Shoot for Ocean Dr. - the Art Deco district. I think you'll find all those to be more reasonable than the big ones up on Collins. I always stay at the Park Central when I go down, great hotel and great location for the show.

Of course, another well-kept secret, if you like cuban food, hit Puerto Sagua on the corner of Collins and 6th. It is the real-deal-holyfield!!

Has anyone here ever stayed at the Catalina Hotel & Beach Club? They say it is only 0.5mi from the Convention Center? I am looking to book soon if you have any info on this Hotel please let me know good bad other. Thanks

looking also

I went ahead and got a room at the Catalina looks pretty nice has restaurant and a couple of lounges. Plus it is walking distance to the center.

We stayed at the Marriot the night before the boat show run last year and I liked it. We were way up near the top and wow what a view.

Hey Scott looking to head down there for a weekend also.

We will be driving up early Saturday morning. Im only a couple hours away. We are also staying at the Marriott at Biscayne Bay I made changes last night after some more research. I will be heading home on Sunday afternoon. Yes we need to meet up on Saturday. Look forward to meeting some of the Cult and OSO members. Lets set up something for Saturday?
Which cruise are you going on?

:drink::drink::drink::drink::drink:

The Marriott Biscayne Bay and DoublteTree right next door are right in front of Sea Isle Marina where the In-Water Powerboats will be displayed, including Active Thunder and the rest of the go-fasts that will be in the water. This is a couple miles from the Convention Center, and you have to rely on ground transportation to go out each night.

It would be my suggestion to stay in South Beach; Collins, A1A, etc. etc. within walking distance of the CC. This is where all the action takes place in the evenings.

With your Boat Show admission, you have access to free shuttles (which take FOREVER) between the show locations.

Pat nor myself will be releasing details on where we are staying. :D

Thanks Brian, I just changed my reservation back to the Catalina as it is with in walking distance to the convention center right on Collins ave. Should be fairly close to alot of action on South Beach.

What was the room # Pat charged that big bar tab to in Key Largo? You gota watch that guy!:drink:

http://www.essexhotel.com/ is my favorite when in SoBe.

Also, anything near/on Lincoln Road usually is a pretty safe bet.

Take a look at VRBO.com as well.
