The mention of Miami conjures images of sultry appeal, dazzling sunshine and beaches narrowing in the vast distance,
while oceanfront hotels and skyscrapers dot the landscape. Miami isn’t a city that has a pulse, so much as a pulsating
rhythm. It’s laid-back and slow-paced, but constantly churning. The days are meant to be spent poolside, and the
evenings are meant for cruising down Collins Avenue, soaking in the neon lights glowing from art deco buildings. Whatever the purpose for your visit, Miami is different from any other place you’ve ever been.

Greater Miami has miles and miles of beaches beckoning sun seekers, and nearby parks luring nature lovers to discover a fascinating variety of flora and fauna. In fact, Miami is the only place in the U.S. with two national parks. Everglades National Park is an untamed ecosystem unlike any other on earth, while Biscayne National Park is the only living tropical reef within the continental US.

Miami has many other attractions. Just imagine dolphins doing backflips and jumping sea lions! Is that a parrot on a bicycle? Yes, and he’s just one of many jaw dropping sights in a sea of wonders that make up our attractions landscape. You can go from outer space to the bottom of the ocean in one day, or travel from the prehistoric era to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and back to the future in a week. Miami is known as the Magic City, and justifiably so. By day, it’s alive with activity, from the bustle of the Downtown business district to the sultry shores of Miami Beach. At nightfall, the vibe changes as everyone comes out to play, whether that means sipping champagne at a wine bar, dining al fresco, taking in a live show or dancing into the wee hours. With a quick turn of mood, you can go from the sophisticated shopping district of Coral Gables to the bohemian coffeehouses of Coconut Grove to the lusty Latin quarter of Little Havana all in a half-hour’s drive, then cross the causeway to South Beach, switching from stilettos to sandals at a stoplight.

There are many reasons to plan a Miami vacation. It’s a travel destination for those who love the beach, the arts, festivals, shopping, sports, sightseeing and culture. The Hyatt Regency Miami is in the middle of the action. Indulge in the spirit of the “American Riviera” at Hyatt Regency Miami. Just 15 minutes from South Beach and two miles from the Port of Miami, this downtown hotel is easily accessible to everywhere you want to be.

Knight Center, Coral Gables, and the Latin flavor of Little Havana. Experience Miami, a multi-cultural city that speaks ultra-cool fluently. There’s no better way to discover it than with Hyatt Regency Miami as your home base.
