# The best family hotels in Miami Beach

Written 2026-10-10 by Play Day. Miami Beach hotels with a kids' club or a family program, by stretch of Collins Avenue: South Beach below 23rd Street, and Mid-Beach from the Edition up to the Fontainebleau. Connecting rooms, kitchenettes and the pools that have a slide.

Nightlife put Miami Beach on the map, and the hotels have worked out that kids want in on the fun too. The Art Deco is pastel, the neon is on and the beach never turns the music down.

South Beach, below about 23rd Street, is the Art Deco strip with Ocean Drive, Lincoln Road and the crowds. Mid-Beach, from the 29th Street Edition up to the Fontainebleau at 44th, is the resort stretch: bigger hotels, bigger pools, a quieter beach and a boardwalk that runs the whole way. Every hotel here is on the sand. Some run a real kids' club with hours, and others an activities desk by the pool.
