Some of the best moments on a trip never make it onto the itinerary.
A conversation over coffee. A walk after dinner. That first afternoon when you put your bags down, take a breath, and realize there’s nowhere you need to be for a little while.
At Miami Lakes Hotel, we like to leave room for those moments.
For more than 45 years, we’ve welcomed guests traveling for work, getting together with loved ones, celebrating something special, or simply taking a break. Every visit has a different purpose. Our approach stays the same: make people feel welcome and take good care of them.
That’s where Main Street & Beyond begins. Consider this your introduction to our corner of South Florida—and an invitation to enjoy it at your own pace.
A Different Setting for Your South Florida Stay
Miami Lakes has its own character: tree-lined streets, tropical landscaping, and a setting that invites you to look around rather than rush through.
Our address on Main Street is part of that experience. You might arrive with plans to explore Miami, attend an event at Hard Rock Stadium, or spend a day farther afield in Fort Lauderdale. But you can also make time for the place right outside your hotel.
Before you fill every hour, leave yourself an afternoon to settle in. Take a walk. Get familiar with your surroundings. Let the first day be a little less about getting somewhere and a little more about being here.
There will be plenty of time for the rest.
Great Service Starts with the Small Things
“Raving Fan” hospitality is how we describe our commitment to guests. It’s a memorable phrase, but the idea behind it is straightforward: we want you to feel genuinely looked after.
That starts with listening. A business traveler may need a stay that fits neatly around a busy schedule. Someone planning a celebration may have a dozen questions before arriving. A guest visiting for the first time may simply appreciate a friendly conversation about the area.
We know that good hospitality isn’t the same for everyone. It’s paying attention to what matters to the person in front of you.
As an independent hotel, that personal approach is central to who we are. We take pride in our surroundings, but we care just as much about how you feel while you’re here.
Make Space for Something You Enjoy
A trip doesn’t have to be packed with activities to be worthwhile.
If keeping up with your fitness routine helps you feel your best, hotel guests have complimentary access to Miami Lakes Athletic Club. If you’ve spent the day in meetings, you might prefer to leave the evening open and enjoy dinner without another appointment on the calendar.
And if you’re traveling with someone you don’t see often enough, a little unplanned time together might be the best part of the visit.
There’s no single right way to spend your stay. Make plans for the things you’re excited about, then give yourself some breathing room around them.
You don’t need to turn every free hour into another item on a list.
A Place with a Personal History
Our connection to the area goes back well before your arrival.
The Graham family, who own and operate Miami Lakes Hotel, have been part of Miami’s history since 1920. That longstanding connection is part of what makes the hotel feel rooted in its surroundings.
We bring that history together with contemporary Florida style and a simple focus on service. Whether you’re joining us for one night or making the hotel part of a longer visit, we want your experience to feel personal—not interchangeable with anywhere else.
