Why this matters in The Miami
Miami 's hotel scene is getting a boost from day-trippers looking to experience luxury without the overnight stay. With ResortPass, locals can enjoy rooftop pools and high-end amenities at spots like the Elser Hotel and Residence in downtown Miami or the Hotel Continental on Miami Beach. This trend could be a boon for local businesses, particularly in neighborhoods like Brickell and Miami Beach, where hotels are plentiful and foot traffic is high. By offering day passes, these hotels can attract customers who might not otherwise book a room, potentially driving sales at on-site restaurants and bars. As Miami continues to grow as a tourist destination, it will be interesting to see how this day-cation model expands to other hotels and neighborhoods, such as Wynwood or Little Havana, and how it impacts the local economy. For now, it's a win-win for locals looking to indulge in some luxury and for hotels looking to fill a niche in the market.
