Hilton Garden Inn Homestead
10–15 min from venueBook
Travel & Stay
The venue is located in Redland, Florida: an agricultural oasis south of Miami known for its groves, wineries and slow afternoons.
Miami International (MIA) is the closest airport to the hotels we recommend, about a 30-minute drive. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL) works too, about 30 minutes further north. We recommend a rideshare app (Uber, Lyft) or a rental car.
Hotels
There is no hotel block, but we suggest staying in Homestead (close to the venue) or Coconut Grove (further away, but it gives you a more "Miami" experience with shops, restaurants, and waterfront views at a walkable distance.) Airbnb works well too if you prefer your own space.

Things to do
Robert Is Here
A legendary Homestead fruit stand since 1959. Get the tropical fruit milkshakes (they're famous for a reason), browse exotic fruits, and visit the little animal farm out back. Minutes from the venue. Open daily, 9am–6pm.
Everglades National Park
Just south of the venue. Guests can do an airboat tour, walk the Anhinga Trail (great for spotting gators), or kayak through the mangroves.
Schnebly Redland's Winery & Brewery
Florida's southernmost winery, fifteen minutes from us. Tropical-fruit wines (lychee, passionfruit, mango), live music on weekends, tiki garden with a waterfall.
Biscayne National Park
A hidden gem right in the area. Mostly underwater, it's perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, or taking a glass-bottom boat tour over the coral reefs.
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden
83 acres of tropical gardens, a butterfly exhibit, and a free narrated tram tour. Allow at least 2–3 hours. In Coral Gables, about 30 minutes from the venue.
Vizcaya Museum & Gardens
A stunning Italian Renaissance villa on Biscayne Bay with 10 acres of manicured gardens. One of the most beautiful spots in Miami.
