If you’re planning a Miami escape and debating between a hotel or an Airbnb, here’s your sign: Arlo Wynwood is your dream setup. This gay-friendly, boutique hotel in the heart of the Wynwood Arts District delivers all the things chic travelers care about—style, location, affordability, and that just-right balance of comfort and cool. Think: rooftop cocktails, contemporary art, and enough eye candy (in the décor and the crowd) to make you want to extend your stay. (Good news: you save when you stay longer!)
Whether you’re flying in for Pride, Art Basel, or just a warm-weather reset, Arlo Wynwood is the kind of place that feels like a vibe and a value. Equal parts curated and casual, it offers a polished home base for the kinds of trips that blur the line between vacation and lifestyle.
A Boutique Hotel That Gets You
Arlo Wynwood was the first hotel to open in the Wynwood Arts District—a bold, queer-friendly neighborhood that’s long been Miami’s creative and cultural playground. Known for its street art, eclectic galleries, and buzzy restaurants, Wynwood is where the city comes to be seen, snap selfies, and soak up something a little more authentic than South Beach.
Inside, Arlo reflects the neighborhood’s energy with design-forward interiors, bold colors, and thoughtful details. Whether you’re dropping your bags before hitting the clubs or spending the day exploring local galleries, this place feels like it was made for people with great taste and even better stories.
Rooftop Pool Vibes, All Year Long
If rooftop pools are your love language, you’ll fall hard for Arlo Wynwood’s 76-foot heated pool. It’s open year-round, perched above the city with skyline views and surrounded by plush cabanas, lush greenery, and the kind of vibe that invites both solo lounging and group selfies.
The rooftop is also home to ART Wynwood, a cocktail bar that mixes locals and guests in the best way. Whether you’re sipping a spicy margarita under the sun or clinking glasses with new friends at sunset, this spot turns pool time into social time. Bonus: day passes are available, so if you meet someone special while out and about, you can invite them up.
Affordable Luxury That Doesn’t Skimp on Style
Travelers looking for great value in Miami often assume they’ll need to choose between design and budget. But at Arlo Wynwood, you don’t have to! With smart booking perks like exclusive direct booking rates and discounts for longer stays, Arlo makes it easy to stay in one of Miami’s hottest neighborhoods without blowing your budget.
And this isn’t your standard budget stay: guest rooms are outfitted with minimalist white-oak furnishings, cozy beds, mini fridges, Nespresso machines, and lightning-fast WiFi. It’s the kind of setup that’s perfect for both work and play—whether you’re in town for business, a weekend getaway, or an extended vacation.
Eat, Drink, and Explore—Right Outside Your Door
No need to wander far for a good meal or strong cocktail. Arlo Wynwood’s on-site restaurant, Wyn Wyn, brings global flavors with a Miami twist—think inventive small plates, bold mains, and plenty of vegan-forward options if that’s your thing.
Then there’s Higher Ground, the hotel’s cocktail garden perched on the third floor. With twinkly lights, lush greenery, and plenty of room to mingle, it’s perfect for a pre-dinner drink, a low-key date spot, or a casual meet-cute after your art walk.
Plus, Arlo partners with local Wynwood businesses to give guests exclusive discounts—everything from massages at The NOW to curated pieces at Colombian fashion boutique Wanitta. If you love shopping small, supporting queer-friendly businesses, and discovering what makes a neighborhood tick, you’ll be in your element.
Your Gateway to the Best of Wynwood
Skip the tourist traps—Wynwood is where Miami’s heart beats loudest. Staying at Arlo means walking distance to Wynwood Walls, the Museum of Graffiti, and a maze of hidden bars, designer pop-ups, and rainbow-splashed murals just begging for a grid post.
Need a change of scenery? Grab a complimentary bike and ride over to the Design District, cruise through Midtown, or stumble upon a local speakeasy hidden inside a sandwich shop (yes, really).
Wynwood is also home to one of the city’s most active LGBTQ+ scenes outside of South Beach, with queer-owned galleries, drag brunches, and laid-back bars that welcome everyone with open arms.
Book Direct, Stay Longer, Save More
Arlo Wynwood makes it easy to say yes to that extra night (or that last-minute date). Direct bookings score you the best rates, and longer stays come with special perks that make an extended Miami moment feel extra worth it.
Whether you’re planning a solo escape, a friend-cation, or a sexy weekend for two, Arlo Wynwood delivers on every front: it’s welcoming, well-designed, and wonderfully walkable. In short, the kind of place that knows exactly what you’re looking for—even if you didn’t know it yet.
