Geography for 1st time visitors:





Most visitors want to stay on Miami Beach, a city on a barrier island of the same name off the coast of Miami %26amp; connected to it by several causeways. ';South Beach'; is the southernmost 2 miles or so of Miami Beach. It contains the best known beaches, shopping streets, restaurants, hotels, and the historic ';art deco'; district.





Sobe hotels:


To be in the center of or within walking distance of the center of SoBe you want to stay somewhere below 23d street (address number under 2300) and on or within a block of Washington or Collins Aves., or Ocean drive. You won't need a car.





I don't make recommendations, but the following list will give you locations of most SoBe (under 2300) (%26amp; some mid beach) Hotels:

North Miami Beach is more condos and big resort hotels. South Beach is a designated historical site with smaller older hotels built in an art deco style. It is more walkable and cafes and bars line Ocean Drive in this area.


South Beach is more ';trendy';.


All of Miami Beach is very expensive; I personally would check out the comments on www.tripadvisor.com as far as ratings for hotels. This site posts consumers' personal opinions about places they've stayed at, and the hotels are rated best to worst. I found The Park Central Hotel, in South Beach, on this site in the spring and was very pleased with it. Mid-price range but in a very cool neighbourhood.
go to tripadvisor and search for the Majestic hotel at south beach, I was just there and it is very well located (on ocean drive) and it was usd 70 /night! decent and clean.
north side is far and boring. south beach is where all the action takes place. i dont like catalina (sleeze) i would suggest pelican hotel on ocean drive
