WHERE TO STAY
ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH & ART WEEK 2026
The world’s top art week reaches far beyond the exhibition halls. Running December 4-6, 2026 with VIP previews starting December 2 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, Art Basel anchors a citywide celebration. EAST Miami places you in the heart of Brickell, giving you a central place to reset between daytime fair tours and late-night dinners in the city.
Daytime at the fair. Evenings in the city.
ART BASEL
MIAMI BEACH 2026
Event Weekend Highlights:
● VIP & Private Days (Invitation Only): December 2-3 2026
● Vernissage: December 3, 2026
● Public Days: December 4-6, 2026 (11:00 AM - 6:00 PM) at the Miami Beach Convention Center

It is one of the busiest weeks of the year both on the show floor and across Miami’s main neighborhoods.
CENTRAL BRICKELL LOCATION
WHY EAST MIAMI
While the primary fair draws daytime crowds across the bay, the late-night energy lives on the mainland. As galleries wrap up for the afternoon, the pulse of Art Week shifts toward Brickell’s dining hubs and rooftop lounges.
Staying at EAST Miami puts you right in the center of the city’s best restaurants, bars, and gatherings. After the day’s exhibitions, gallerists, collectors, and visitors step away from the crowd to recharge, dine, and libate.
At EAST Miami, you’re steps from:
● Mainland Satellite Fairs: Minutes from Art Miami & CONTEXT at One Herald Place (Dec 1-6) and Red Dot & Spectrum at Mana Wynwood (Dec 2-6)
● Brickell City Centre: Luxury shops, coffee spots, and top dining (including Motek, Marabú, and Casa Tua Cucina) directly connected to the hotel indoors
● Wynwood & Design District: Direct routes north via the Brightline train at nearby Central Station, the free Metromover, or a quick ride-share to runway shows, museum events, and pop-up galleries.
● Built-in Nightlife & Wellness: Access to Sugar rooftop bar, Quinto restaurant, and our 20,000-square-foot outdoor deck featuring four pools (including an all-year-round heated pool and Jacuzzi).
EAST Miami gives you a central base in Brickell, making it easy to get to the beach in the morning and head out in the city at night.

YOUR ART BASEL WEEKEND, EAST STYLE
DINING THAT MOVES WITH YOU
Start your day with something light at Domain or settle in for open-fire Uruguayan dining at Quinto before a night out in Brickell. Everything is within reach.
SPACE TO REST
Lounge by our year-round heated pool, soak in the Jacuzzi, or kick back in your floor-to-ceiling glass suite before heading out for the night.
ROOFTOP AFTER THE FAIR
After a day browsing galleries, head up to Sugar on the 40th floor. Expect skyline views, drinks, and a crowd that keeps the energy going well into the night.
