OK, so here’s a little bit of content done for a client a few years ago that didn’t make it onto the site. Being that Metapilot is a Miami-based SEO company… it’s relevant…kinda.

Cheap Hotels in South Beach
Before arrival, be sure to get a handle on the difference between “South Beach” and “Miami Beach” – if you don’t already. Many people use these two terms interchangeably but they’re not really synonyms, at all. “South Beach” (a.k.a., SoBe) is effectively a district within the city of Miami Beach and “Miami Beach” is one of several cities on the long, quasi-man-made barrier island group that is situated just off of the coast of the city of Miami and its suburbs. Those islands also separate the northern part of the Biscayne from the Atlantic Ocean.
The area of South Beach is approximately one single square mile. Its southern edge is defined by Government Cut, the shipping channel used by freighters, Carnival Cruise Lines and a seemingly never ending variety of fishing boats and sailboats entering and leaving Biscayne Bay. Depending on who you speak to, South Beach extends to the north up to about 24th St. or about where the Ocean Dr. / Collins Ave. Historic District ends and to the west over to Alton Rd. Of course, to the east is the beach, the Gulf Stream, and the Atlantic Ocean.

So there you have it. One square mile that includes the largest 20th century historic district in the country, with more than 800 protected art deco style houses, boutique hotels, and buildings, the southeastern most strip of beach on the continental U.S., one of the great vacation destinations in all the world.
Ready to Make Hotel Reservations?
With it being such an international destination and with it having such a reputation for lavishness, it might be hard to believe that you can actually find cheap deals on hotel rooms in South Beach. But it is true. While the area does have its share of four and five star hotels (the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, Loews Miami Beach Hotel, Grand Beach Hotel, Royal Palm South Beach Resort, for example) a vast majority of the hotels within walking distance to the beach are relatively inexpensive boutique hotels that provide a marvelous South Beach experience without charging an arm and a leg. In fact, situated just off of Lummus Park, right between Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive, there are dozens hotels we’ve arranged inexpensive hotel deals with. Check out our cheap hotel prices for the dates you’re in South Beach.
The 5 block strip of beach just to the south of Lummus Park (the Lummus Brothers, along with Carl Fisher and John Collins, were the founders of Miami Beach back in 19151) is probably the most popular. Maybe just because it’s the southernmost strip of beach, maybe it’s got the coolest lifeguard huts, maybe it’s the availability of cheap hotels, maybe it’s the continual fashion shoots and modeling that take place here, maybe it’s the surfers that flock to this spot when the surf is right—but for whatever reason, it rocks. Once you’ve checked into your hotel and you are ready to get out to the beach, this might be the first area you want to try.
Use Us to Find a Hotel that Fits Your Budget
As you follow the beach north of Lummus Park you reach Lincoln Rd. and he northern half of South Beach. (If you take a left here and follow Lincoln Rd. two blocks, you come to Lincoln Rd. Mall and some of the best shopping on the island.). The beach up to the north is lined by some of the more expensive hotels in South Beach–the Ritz Carlton and Loews, for example, but there are still plenty of great places to stay on a budget. We have been able to arrange some cheap rates at some of these luxury spots, but often, the smaller, art deco style hotels provide a better South Beach flavor for a lot less money.
Well, that should give you enough information to get you started on your trip to South Beach. Explore and enjoy the sun. Please check out our cheap hotel rates and we hope you enjoy your stay
