Map / Hotels                                                                       Updated 9 Sep 2005

MAP
We will play at Ocean Drive and 14th Street.
This interactive Google map opens in a new window.
You can zoom in & out, drag the map, calculate distances to/from any other address. And actually see the sand if you click on the 'satellite' button!


 

PARKING
Is in short supply in South Beach, and can be expensive - especially valet parking.
The Miami Beach Convention Center Parking building, a 10 min. walk, would be your best bet. The South Florida Auto Show is going on that same weekend, but it does not open till 11 AM. On this map other parkings are indicated in yellow.
If you are flying in, we would recommend to take a cab (abt $ 24) or a shuttle ($ 16) instead of renting a car.


HOTELS
In South Beach you can find hotel rooms from $ 45 up to $ 450 a night.
Many hotels are old, and their rooms tend to be small. Some have been fixed up very nicely, some have not.
Any hotel between 5th and 20th Street (street # from 500 to 2000) is no more than a 10 min. stroll  from the courts. The blocks in South Beach are small, especially S. of 15th Street.
Hotels that are one or two blocks inland (Collins and Washington Ave) are obviously cheaper than those one Ocean Drive itself.
We have contacted several hotels for special rates, but find that they are not always better than the deals you can find on sites like Expedia.com , Travelocity.com or Tripadvisor.com.
Some samples.

If you need several rooms for your club, call a hotel directly and ask for a group rate, or call
Mario at 1-800-682-2557 for tips.

Hotel tax in Miami Beach is 13 %.
Below are some suggestions - more to follow as they come in:
