The countdown is on for Art Basel Miami Beach. Procrastinators beware - hotel rooms are a hot commodity in Miami. Most everything on the Beach is sold out - even the hostels (seriously). We made lots of front desk calls and found two consistent themes: be prepared to pony up for a minimum of four or five nights and venture off the Beach for maximum success (think North Beach, Sunny Isles, Aventura and Downtown).
Here's availabilty as of 4pm on Wednesday, Nov 28 - happy hunting!
