Family-Friendly Hotels in Miami, Florida
The family-friendly hotels on this list are on the mainland side of Biscayne Bay rather than on Miami Beach, which shapes the kind of trip they suit. In Brickell and downtown, Hampton Inn & Suites Miami Downtown/Brickell is a short walk from the Brickell Metromover station and Fortune House Hotel Suites offers suites with kitchens and in-suite laundry. Doral, west of the airport, has larger properties with year-round outdoor pools, such as DoubleTree by Hilton Miami Doral and Homewood Suites by Hilton Miami Dolphin Mall. Coral Gables and Coconut Grove add a greener setting, with the historic Biltmore Hotel and the Loews Coral Gables Hotel.
Miami spreads along the western shore of Biscayne Bay, from the towers of Brickell and downtown to the leafy streets of Coral Gables and Coconut Grove. Doral and the airport area lie to the west, while Miami Beach sits across the bay on its barrier island.
Where to stay
Picking the Right Miami Neighborhood for Families
Miami works for families when the hotel covers the basics: a pool you can use all year, a kitchen or kitchenette for long hot days, breakfast included and a neighborhood that fits your plans, whether that means Brickell for the bay, Doral for shopping and the airport, or Coral Gables for quieter streets.
Brickell and downtown suit families who want to walk and use public transport. Hampton Inn & Suites Miami Downtown/Brickell is a short walk from the Brickell Metromover station, has an outdoor pool and serves a daily hot breakfast. Courtyard Miami Downtown Brickell Area sits near Bayside Marketplace, with an outdoor pool and a small refrigerator in each room. Fortune House Hotel Suites on Brickell Avenue goes further for families, with fully furnished suites that include kitchens, balconies and in-suite laundry, plus an outdoor pool, a hot tub and a sauna. InterContinental Miami adds views of Biscayne Bay and an outdoor pool in the business district.
Doral, west of downtown near Miami International Airport, is the practical choice for families who drive or plan days of shopping. Homewood Suites by Hilton Miami Dolphin Mall has kitchenettes, a year-round outdoor pool and a complimentary American buffet breakfast, and guests rate it 8.8 across more than two thousand reviews. DoubleTree by Hilton Miami Doral offers family rooms, a year-round outdoor pool and a family-friendly restaurant. Sonesta Simply Suites Miami Airport Doral has suites with fully equipped kitchens, a heated outdoor pool and a convenience store on site, useful for picking up snacks and breakfast supplies without another drive.
Coral Gables and Coconut Grove give families a greener, calmer base south of downtown. The Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables is a historic resort set in 150 acres of tropical landscape, with a vast outdoor swimming pool with cabanas, ten lighted tennis courts and an 18-hole golf course. The Loews Coral Gables Hotel, rated 9.3 by guests, has a family-friendly restaurant and rooms with balconies overlooking the pool. In Coconut Grove, Mr C Miami Coconut Grove offers free bicycles and a pool with a view, while Hampton Inn Miami-Coconut Grove/Coral Gables includes breakfast and has a pool and a hot tub.
Families arriving late or leaving early will find several suites hotels close to the airport. Candlewood Suites Miami Intl Airport - 36th St has a kitchenette with a stove top, refrigerator and dishwasher in each room, an outdoor pool and airport transfer services. EB Hotel Miami Airport, rated 9.0, has a spacious outdoor swimming pool. The Rover Miami offers family rooms and free bicycles near LoanDepot Park, home of the Miami Marlins. For a larger group, The 27 Wynwood has family rooms with a kitchen and dining area and a rooftop pool, close to the murals of the Wynwood district.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a family trip built around pool time and easy logistics, I would choose Homewood Suites by Hilton Miami Dolphin Mall: kitchenettes, a year-round outdoor pool and breakfast included, rated 8.8 by guests. If you would rather walk and use the Metromover, I recommend Fortune House Hotel Suites on Brickell Avenue, where suites have full kitchens and in-suite laundry.

Local tips
- 1Choose the neighborhood first: Brickell or downtown to walk and use the Metromover, Doral for driving and shopping, Coral Gables or Coconut Grove for a calmer, greener base.
- 2In Miami's heat, a pool you can use all year matters; DoubleTree Miami Doral and Homewood Suites Dolphin Mall both list year-round outdoor pools.
- 3Book a suite with a kitchen at Fortune House, Sonesta Simply Suites Doral or Candlewood Suites to keep cold drinks and snacks within reach.
- 4Look for breakfast included, as at Homewood Suites Dolphin Mall, Hampton Inn Brickell or Hampton Inn Coconut Grove, to start the day without a restaurant search.
- 5For early flights with children, Candlewood Suites Miami Intl Airport offers airport transfer services and rooms with a full kitchenette.
- 6Remember that these hotels are on the mainland, not Miami Beach; plan transport if a day on the Atlantic beaches is part of your trip.
