With its pastel-colored 1930s buildings, luxury hotels and 24-hour buzz, Miami Beach in Florida is the place to be for party lovers. It’s still possible to enjoy Miami’s vibrant streets, beachfront restaurants and endless sand stretches without breaking the bank at these centrally located hostels. Ideal for groups of friends and wallet-watching travelers, generous extras include happy hours, free breakfasts and bike rentals.

The Freehand has its own award-winning cocktail bar and the wildly popular 27 Restaurant, serving flavor-packed global dishes such as spicy Thai mussels.
