Headed to Miami? There are many, many options of where to stay in the different parts of the city. But don’t overlook the downtown area, where new bars and restaurants are popping up, and where you have easy, centralized access to the city’s attractions and neighborhoods. Looking for something fresh? Here are five reasons to consider staying at The Gabriel Hotel in Downtown Miami.
The Rooms and Views
The view from The Gabriel is interesting in that the east-facing rooms provide an expansive lookout over many parts of the city – the downtown skyline to the south, the cruise ship ports straight out in front, and then the island of Miami Beach off in the distance.
You can also see both the intracoastal waterway as well as the Atlantic Ocean. This mix means you get multiple perspectives on Miami and its parts – the cruise industry, the beach, the city streets – each playing its own key role in the city’s overall identity.
Sexy Art and Design If you’re feeling frisky in Miami, the Gabriel wants to celebrate it. Located throughout the hotel you’ll find some sexy and limit-pushing art, reminding you that Miami is classy, but certainly no city of innocence. In the lobby, look for the picture with three girls licking a heart-shaped taffy, and on the 14th floor (pool level) you’ll find some partially-nude, beach yoga photos. All have been curated in a stylish way – i.e. there’s no outright nudity to worry about, should you be traveling with your parents – but it definitely sets the tone should you find yourself on a weekend getaway.
