9 Affordable Miami Hotels That Prove You Can Do Luxury for Less

Best for: Exceptional tranquility in downtown Miami

There are two entry points to the Gale: through the high-ceilinged, grand valet on one side, or via the rose-hued in-house restaurant, Casa Gianna, on the other. Either route makes for quite the entrance to this sparkling 51-story tower, where glamorous people with things to do come and go at steady clips. This is an affordable, reliable stay smack dab in the thick of downtown Miami that feels impenetrably tranquil despite the noise all around.

The rooms here mirror the residences in the same building, so you can book a studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom accommodation ranging from 410 to 910 square feet. Most of these have full kitchens and washer-dryers, so you can really set up shop. Decor is minimal and modern, with black-and-white photography on the walls and furniture in neutral colors. The windows are floor-to-ceiling for the most part, meaning massive Miami views. Take out a bike to Miami Beach—you’ll fly past traffic and will not regret it. —Charlie Hobbs
