Located just outside of Miami, at the Hard Rock Stadium, the Miami International Autodrome is centrally located enough to choose from a wide range of comfortable and convenient accommodation options. From hotels in Miami, to Hollywood, to Fort Lauderdale, staying directly next to the track, or homeshares, check out this guide before you decide where to stay during the Miami Grand Prix.
Miami Beach (south and mid-beach) and Downtown Miami (including neighborhoods such as Brickell, Coconut Grove and Wynnwood) are the most popular neighborhoods for those visiting Miami. Nightlife, rooftop bars, shopping, cultural attractions, wall-to-wall restaurants from celebrities like Bad Bunny and Drake line each of these neighborhoods and are among the safest in the Miami area. Many of Miami’s best 5-star hotels, upscale boutique hotels, and oceanside resorts are in this area, but there are still several options for different budgets. Overall travel time from these neighborhoods to the track will be about 20 – 30 minutes by car.
In these neighborhoods, two star hotels start at about $70 USD a night during the week but can get up to roughly $160 USD a night on the weekends on average. Three star hotels start at $130 USD a night during the week and get up to about $200 USD a night on the weekends. Four star hotels start at about $260 USD a night during the week but can reaches prices as high $400 USD a night on the weekends. As is very popular in these neighborhoods, 5 star hotels average $800 - $1,000 USD a night and are the absolute lap of luxury.

Fort Lauderdale is another major hub that neighbors Miami and is about 30 minutes from the circuit (almost completely avoiding all traffic from the south). Fort Lauderdale is known for its extremely relaxed and laidback vibe, especially compared to Miami Beach. This could be a good area to stay with families or if you’re not looking for parties and glamour and are just there for the racing.
Two star hotels start at about $70 USD a night during the week and on the weekends prices can get up to $110 USD a night. Three star hotels begin at about $120 USD a night during the week but on the weekend prices can get up to about $160 USD a night. Four star hotels begin at about $205 USD a night during the week but can reach prices as high as $280 USD a night on the weekend.

Homeshares are a great option if you are traveling to Miami for the Grand Prix. There are different accommodation options located all around the city ranging from entire houses, to apartments, to single rooms. Miami itself has some of the most highly developed condominium buildings in the US, and many of these condos are specifically rented out for homeshares. Prices are very dependent on the type of accommodation you choose, how many guests there are and lastly how long you plan on staying. Many homeshare options offer long term stay deals, so if that is something that interests you, it may be worth extending your stay in Miami for the week prior or after the race!
