Thread: What Miami hotel has the best view of the port/ships?

Anyone have a hotel recommendation with best view of port/ships? Preferably a hotel with a tower near the turning basin.

I haven't the slightest but will post here so maybe someone else will see this.
Good luck

At hotels.com check under landmarks for cruise port and get all hotels within 1/2mile. You can then go to each site individually and look at a map.

Hotels.com - hotels in Miami (and vicinity), Florida, United States

I did some further research and the Intercontinental was recommended. Anyone else agree or have another suggestion?

We stayed at the Miami Hilton Biscayne Bay 1601 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, Florida, United States 33132

We were very pleased with it. Get a harbour view room and you can watch the cruise ships. It is close to Bayside with its shopping and restaurants. Very short shuttle ride to the port and there is a free transit in the area. We enjoyed our 3 nights there in April 2011.

I posted your question to the CruiseLineFans Twitter feed and got some second and third votes for the Intercontinental Miami.

Here's a picture of the Explorer of the Seas from one of the respondents posts:
