- Located in charming Coconut Grove, Mr. C Miami is a whimsical boutique hotel with a clever nautical theme.
- The hotel has an intimate feel with just 100 sailboat-inspired guestrooms and suites with private outdoor terraces, plus an indoor-outdoor Italian restaurant, and rooftop pool with panoramic views.
- Rooms start at just $167, which makes a strong argument to consider heading off the beaten path for such a unique stay. After spending a night here, I think you'll be glad you did. Coconut Grove is a hidden gem.

There's a well-kept secret in Miami that somehow hasn't been fully exposed yet.
While South Beach, Miami Beach, Brickell, and Wynwood regularly draw droves of tourists, there's another area you'd be well-advised to seek out, and that's Coconut Grove.
This picturesque small city on the mainland, a quick drive down the coast from downtown Miami, is a lovely town dotted with trendy boutiques, open-air restaurants, and frequented by in-the-know locals and visitors who've caught on to its contagious charm.
Hotels are starting to pay attention too, with just a few offerings, but one leads the pack: Mr. C Miami - Coconut Grove.
This boutique hotel with outposts in Beverly Hills and New York City is as whimsical as the area itself, fashioned like a glamorous Italian cruise liner where every detail feels nautically-inspired, from porthole windows, to glossy walnut wood, deck paneling, and sail-like tarps separating each balcony. With a nearby marina and views of sailboats in the distance, it's certainly fitting.
I spent the night in a Deluxe City View Room, which starts at $180. It's a slightly elevated version of the standard Superior Courtyard King which starts at $167, though the cheaper room is actually a hair larger and better placed in the hotel, in my opinion.
As someone who has been on their fair share of cruises, staying at Mr. C felt like I had checked in to an elegant vessel and set sail with a hotel unlike any other in Miami.
