South Beach is entirely walkable. It depends on your definition of walking. It's a decent hike from 1st to north of Lincoln Rd. It's an easy walk but will take some time. |

There are lots of hotels right on Ocean Drive: They vary in price and atmosphere so think about each. Some are great if you're a 22 yr old and want to party all night ( The Clevelander, Pelican) and others are not so centrally located , but are much quieter. http://www.gmcvb.com/visitors/accommodations.asp www.hotels.com has 'em all too. I'll be there in a few weeks myself for some fishing, then the Pro bowl. Narrow down what you are looking for and reply - I have a lot of bookmarks.

What's your price range? Have you checked http://www.hotels.com http://www.expedia.com and other travel web sites to see what's available in your price range? If not, you should. |

I still don't know you're price range ( ON Ocean Drive is NOT cheap in Jan/Feb), but I can tell you I've stayed at The Avalon in the past ( and this time too). It's about $250/night+tax.

What are you going to do there ? Relax ? Peoplewatch? See the sights? Sit by the pool ? Have room service and a massage ? etc. Think about it and " on a map of the beach, do you care if ON Ocean Ave ? Ocean view from room ? ( more $$) What about one block back ? ... http://www.avalonhotel.com/area-miami-beach.html http://miami.hotelguide.net/hl1sb.htm We've go fishing every Jan/Feb and have tried many on Ocean Ave and many (most) are older places that are NOT up to " Marriot" standards. You're paying for location. There are some newer ones that meet" Marriot standards ", but VERY big $$$. I'd be hestitant to even summarize since they change so much from year to year - sometimes overhauled/updated / sometimes looks like nothing has changed at all - maybe not even vacuumed since last year. For instance, the Breakwater was being overhauled last year ( it needed it) so it MIGHT be very nice now - or maybe still doing it ?? I'll leave that info to locals/ recent visitors. We spend no time in the room so not important to us. Look here for feedback on Avalon and you'll see what I mean: it depends on what you need/want in a hotel.
