James L. Knight Center Hotels

Big show at the Knight Center? Make a night of it. From riverfront convenience to rooftop cocktails and coastal luxury, these nearby stays bring the best of Miami within arm’s reach of your seat.

Hyatt Regency Miami

Attached to the venue. Literally.

Address: 400 SE 2nd Ave (connected to the Knight Center)

Price: $$$

There’s no hotel closer. The Hyatt Regency is physically connected to the Knight Center via an indoor corridor. No sunscreen, no Uber, no stress. Perfect for dressing up, strolling over, and slipping into your seat without ever stepping outside. The best rooms overlook the Miami River and you’re just steps from the Riverwalk and Bayfront Park if you feel like a stroll. 

Best for: Anyone who wants the shortest walk possible (and a soft landing after a late-night encore).

The Setai, Miami Beach

An oceanfront oasis before (or after) the show.

Address: 2001 Collins Ave (15–20 min drive from the Knight Center)

Price: $$$$

Looking to pair your show with a splash of South Beach luxury? The Setai is the move. In the heart of the iconic Art Deco District, it promises a serene, minimalist design that feels miles away from the buzz of Downtown Miami, without actually being too far. Think oceanfront pools, palm-shaded grounds, upscale restaurants (with incredible Asian-inspired cuisine), and rooms that feel more like private retreats than hotel suites.

Best for: Concert-goers who want the buzz of Downtown Miami and the sunshine of South Beach, all in one day.

JW Marriott Marquis Miami

Luxury without leaving downtown.

Address: 255 Biscayne Blvd Way (5-minute walk)

Price: $$$$

A five-minute stroll from the Knight Center, this polished high-rise feels tailor-made for big nights out. Rooms at JW Marriott Marquis are sleek, service is top-tier, and the river views are stunning. 

Best for: Ticketholders who like their hotels high-end and close by. 

W South Beach

Glamour, poolside mojitos, and that Miami glow.

Address: 2201 Collins Ave (20–25 min drive from Knight Center)

Price: $$$$

If you’re planning to roll your Knight Center night into a full Miami Beach experience, W South Beach turns things up. Expect ocean views, celeb sightings, and a lobby that doubles as a photo op. Plus, there’s rooftop basketball and tennis courts, because, well… Miami. Pre-show? Chill poolside with a mojito. Post-show? Hit the in-house club or wander down Collins Ave.

Best for: Show-goers who want to pair downtown energy with beachside chill (and maybe spot a celebrity by the cabanas).

Kimpton EPIC Hotel

A boutique feel in the heart of the city.

Address: 270 Biscayne Blvd Way (5-minute walk)

Price: $$$

The EPIC leans into its name. Expect a rooftop pool with a view, two standout restaurants, and rooms with private balconies overlooking Biscayne Bay. It’s stylish but not pretentious. Walk five minutes to the show, then return for a cocktail under the stars. It’s that Miami sweet spot between beachy and business.

Best for: Couples, style aficionados, and anyone who wants their concert night to roll seamlessly into a rooftop nightcap.
