About 4.5 miles from the fair. A long way from the queue.

Art Basel Miami Beach runs out of the Miami Beach Convention Center at 1901 Convention Center Drive, with satellite fairs scattered across South Beach, the Design District and Wynwood. The week is a logistics problem disguised as an art fair: everything happens at once, in three neighbourhoods, and the hotels closest to the venue price and fill first.

MB Hotel is about 4.5 miles by car or rideshare to the Convention Center door, a straight run down Collins Avenue. That is an easier door-to-door than many delegates staying in South Beach manage on foot through fair-week crowds, and it keeps your room away from the noise.

The mainland fairs work in your favour too. Wynwood and the Design District are reached over the causeways rather than through South Beach traffic, so the crosstown runs are not fighting the same congestion.

For the broader convention-week case, the Convention Center page covers rates, shuttle traffic and the walk-versus-ride maths in more detail.
