The 2023 Forbes Travel Guide dropped this week, and Miami has made quite the showing. From Brickell Key to Sunny Isles, six hotels and resorts were awarded five stars—the guide’s highest honor. Ten additional Miami hotels earned four stars, and four more were given “recommended” nods.
This year, inspectors from the long-running Forbes Travel Guide anonymously visited, tested and rated nearly 2,000 luxury hotels, restaurants and spas based on as many as 900 objective standards—everything from noise reduction and water quality to use of outdoor space. With an emphasis on exceptional service, only the very best achieved the coveted five stars.
