Grand Beach Hotel Surfside West

The three-star mid-rise on Collins Avenue at 94th Street, Grand Beach Hotel Surfside West sits in Surfside just north of Bal Harbour Shops, a quiet residential stretch away from South Beach's nightlife. Beachfront access is direct across the street, suited to families and long-stay guests seeking a low-key base.

Rooms lean toward kitchenette suites, useful given the walk to Harding Avenue's grocery stores and cafes rather than hotel dining. Bal Harbour's shops and restaurants are a ten-minute walk north; the Julia Tuttle Causeway route into downtown Miami keeps the drive under twenty minutes.
