InterContinental Miami by IHG
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is worth booking if you want a 5-star downtown base near Bayside Market, the cruise terminals and Brickell, with a spa and pool. Skip it if extra charges for parking, water and breakfast would sour the stay, or if you want the best score per euro.

InterContinental Miami by IHG is our Luxury choice in Miami. It is an officially rated 5-star hotel in Downtown Miami with a guest score of 8.9 out of 10 from 1,658 reviews.
It suits cruise passengers, couples and business travellers who want to be central. The property lists a spa, a pool, a gym, a restaurant, family rooms, a garden, a terrace, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. It is also tagged as pet-friendly.
Travellers who watch every cost should think twice. The most common complaint is about the price of extras, not the room itself.
Location and getting around
The address is 100 Chopin Plaza, in Downtown Miami. The location score is 9.5 out of 10, the best of our three Miami picks.
Guests say it is central, near Bayside Market, the cruise terminals and Brickell restaurants.
Distances are straight-line estimates. LoanDepot Park is 3.4 km away, around 43 minutes on foot. Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is 4 km away, about 50 minutes, and Virginia Gardens, Florida, is 11.9 km away, roughly 149 minutes. All three are over 30 minutes on foot, so they are far. Use public transport or a taxi.
What guests say
Location wins praise first. Guests like the downtown setting and being close to the waterfront market, cruise port and Brickell.
Staff also do well in reviews. Guests mention a friendly, professional team, a warm welcome and helpful concierge service.
The main complaint is value for money. Guests say high costs for parking, water and breakfast often outweigh the quality of the stay. Budget for these before you arrive.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was about €528.46 per night. The median in our Miami sample was €188.79 per night. These are reference prices, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, El Jardin Inn, is a 4-star scoring 8.4 at about €115.47 per night in Little Havana. Our Best Value pick, Hampton Inn Miami-Airport West, is a 3-star scoring 8.7 at about €149.26 per night in Doral.
You pay more than three times the Hampton Inn rate here. The gap in guest score is small, 8.9 against 8.7, so the money mostly buys the downtown position, 5-star service and the spa.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 16 eligible properties in Miami. The InterContinental sat in joint first position by review score in that sample.
For the Luxury slot we give priority to official 5-star hotels, and a 4-star fallback would need at least 8.5. A downtown 5-star with this score and more than 1,600 reviews was a clear fit.
