Quick Verdict: The Elser Hotel Miami vs Trump International Beach Resort

When The Elser Hotel Miami wins: choose The Elser if you want to be in the heart of Downtown Miami within walking distance of Bayfront Park, Bayside Marketplace, and the Kaseya Center; if you prefer residential-style suites with full kitchens and washer/dryers; or if a large rooftop pool and fitness complex are priorities.
