The 7 Best Hotels for Families in Miami
1. Loews Miami Beach Hotel (luxury) – Miami Beach
Wonderful kid-friendly hotel located right on South Beach – an easy walk to the area’s attractions. Nice pool area and the beach and boardwalk just beyond a gated entry. There’s a kids club, water activities, and a lively bar off the lobby if parents want to pop down for a drink but still stay close. The location is perfect if you want a bit of everything: the family-friendly (but still cool) restaurants on Lincoln Road are 5 minutes in one direction. The party area of Ocean Drive is 5 minutes in the opposite direction (and easy to avoid if you want to). Most room types sleep a family of 4.
2. Four Seaons Miami (luxury) – Downtown/Brickell
Awesome location in downtown Miami. Large one-bedroom suites and huge kid-friendly pool. Easy walk to restaurants and shopping.

Can you swim year-round in Miami? Thinking about a family vacation in winter to Florida and hoping the water is warm enough for our 2 kids (ages 7 and 14) to swim in the ocean. Thanks!
Late December and January are the chilliest months but still will be swimmable for many (especially fearless kids). If the wind picks up that can make getting out a little jarring but just be prepared with the quick dry-off. For guaranteed comfortable swimming March through November are the best months.
