From beaches to people-watching to free museum days, some of the best things to do around Miami don’t cost a dime. But you’ve still gotta find a place to rest your head at night, and that can get pricey. Luckily, we’ve found some cool Miami hotels that’ll leave you with enough cash leftover for a top-shelf mojito.

The fine print. All prices reflect a one-night stay on a random mid-week date in June, quoted at the time of writing.

What: A 34-room Art Deco hotel with an outdoor pool, on-site spa and updated guest rooms.

Why: You want the best of both worlds: two blocks’ walking distance from Lincoln Road Mall, with enough foliage to block out noise from the bustling shopping district.

Most Miami thing about it: The Clark Gable Suite, complete with marble accents, a clawfoot tub and bragging rights as the World War 2-era home of the actor-turned-Air Force captain.

The Whitelaw Hotel, $68 a night

What: High-rise “condo hotel” with fully-equipped one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, plus shared spaces including a gym, concierge and outdoor pool.

Why: You like the idea of a full kitchen, separate living and sleeping spaces, but you’re leery of Airbnb.
