Setting

Little Havana ’hood

Ready to rumba to the top of Little Havana’s must-stay spots is The Rover Miami — a boutique base from which to explore Calle Ocho’s Cuban-rich roots. Legendary Latino bars, family-run restaurants, community-led arts centers and abuelos knocking dominoes are on-your-doorstep immersions into local life. Back at the hotel, deftly designed rooms are the city’s calming antidote and a light-bathed courtyard is the setting for convivial events enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.

Our Favourite Rooms

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Cuban culture is infused into the streets of Little Havana. Start with a wander down Calle Ocho, where a clutch of cafés, restaurants, family-run shops and street art induct out-of-towners into local life. If you’re looking to learn more about this district’s Latino heritage, art galleries such as the Cubaocho Art & Research Center, Artefactus Cultural Project and the Little Havana Cultural Arts Center are your thought-provoking pitstops.

But lessons aren’t limited to exhibitions in this part of Miami, for traditions run down Cuban Memorial Boulevard, too, where dedicated monuments line the streets and Máximo Gómez Park — named for the former military leader — fills with the sound of salsa and residents rivalling over ongoing games of dominoes. Back at the hotel, check the lobby’s schedules as there’s a timetable of live events held in the courtyard throughout the year.
