Described by The New York Times as “retro-chic” and selected in the MICHELIN Guide 2026, The Vagabond Hotel Miami is a restored 1953 boutique hotel in Miami’s historic MiMo District. We’re also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which is the government’s very official way of saying, “Yes, this one matters.”
We’re talking 42 Mid-Century Modern rooms arranged around a lush courtyard, with our heated pool and iconic mermaid mosaic at the center. Set on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami’s Upper East Side, it’s low-rise, easy to navigate, and refreshingly human: pull up, park for free, check in with an actual person, and find your room without a resort map or lobby maze. No valet shuffle, no surprise fees at checkout, no wondering what's included and what isn't.
It's Miami, simplified.
The hotel is rumored to have been a Rat Pack hideaway (we'll never tell!), and every room comes with hypoallergenic bedding, Smart TVs, custom-designed furnishings, rainfall showers and vintage-inspired touches that walk the line between nostalgic and now. Think sleek lines, bold splashes of color, and just enough tech to keep your playlist flowing and your out-of-office background believable.
Select room types include extras like mini-fridges, coffee makers, and sofa beds. ADA-accessible options are also available.
But don't get too cozy. Just outside your door, palm trees sway, loungers flirt with the sun, and our mermaid steals the scene, effortlessly posed at the bottom of the pool.

A few more things worth knowing
Stay here. Go everywhere.
Sitting on Biscayne Boulevard, The Vagabond Hotel Miami is typically 10 to 25 minutes by car from many of Miami’s best-known neighborhoods, beaches, arts districts, and the cruise port, though of course Miami traffic sometimes has a mind of its own. Closer to home, our MiMo and Upper East Side guide covers neighborhood shops, local favorites, and ways to get out onto Biscayne Bay.
- 10 minutes to Midtown and the Miami Design District’s fashion, dining, and contemporary art.
- 12 minutes to Wynwood’s murals, bars, and indie galleries.
- 15 minutes to Downtown Miami, Brightline’s MiamiCentral station and venues like Kaseya Center, Bayfront Park, PAMM, Frost Science and the Arsht Center.
- 20 minutes to PortMiami and Miami International Airport.
- 25 minutes to South Beach's beaches, nightlife, and Art Deco Historic District.
We're near it all, but never in the middle of the noise. Of course, the real challenge is convincing yourself to leave the heated pool.

Close Enough. Calm Enough.
Let’s be honest, planning a Miami stay usually means picking your chaos. Not here. Around here, we prefer a better balance. With Wynwood, the Design District, Miami Beach, and PortMiami all within easy reach, The Vagabond Hotel Miami doesn’t ask you to sleep in the middle of the madness. It asks you to come back to something calmer. In the historic MiMo District, it’s all mid-century lines, laid-back energy, free parking, no resort fees, and none of the usual extra nonsense.
Small Hotel. Long Streak.
