The Carillon Miami has benefited from a wave of visitors arriving from New York this winter.
While most major metro areas have seen hotel occupancy plummet throughout the pandemic, the greater Miami market has emerged as particularly resilient this winter, with both beach resorts and short-term vacation rentals reporting strong demand.
"We're finding that people are driving here, not just from elsewhere in Florida or the southeast, but believe it or not from as far as the Midwest and California, because they're doing longer stays," said Wendy Kallergis, president and CEO for the Greater Miami and the Beaches Hotel Association. "They're setting up shop here and working in their hotel rooms or suites."
