Art Basel Miami 2023 has arrived, offering a glimpse into amazing art and glamorous events.
Embark on your Miami Art Basel journey on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, starting with breakfast poolside at W South Beach. Then, check in at 3 pm to one of these recommended hotels: The Miami Beach Edition, W South Beach, 1 Hotel South Beach, The Setai Miami Beach, Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel, or SLS South Beach Miami. These accommodations boast stunning pools, beach access, and are conveniently located within two blocks of the Miami Beach Convention Center, the epicenter of Art Basel Miami.
