The best hotels in the downtown area near the port are
The Epic Hotel
JW Marriott Marquis
The Four Seasons
The Mandarin Oriental
The Epic is home to the great Japanese restaurant Zuma. It is the pace to be seen downtown.
The Marriott and the Mandarin also have good restaurants.
Downtown is alive and flurishing, it's the place to live right now. Lots to do and see in Miami.
