Miami skyline at night

Rooftop parties are all the rage in the summertime, and Miami is certainly not the type of city to pass up on a trend. With Miami skyline (and sometimes ocean) views, hotel rooftops are the ideal spot to sip a cocktail (or chug, you are in Miami) after the sun goes down. Below, find the hottest hotel rooftop bars in Miami.

Plunge at Gansevoort South

Plunge at Gansevoort South

With ocean views from 18-stories high, a 110-foot pool, and cabanas shaded by palm trees, Plunge at Gansevoort South may take our top spot for best Miami rooftop bars. Plunge, the largest rooftop lounge in the United States, has the same vibe as its exclusive, see-and-be-seen sister bar at Hotel Gansevoort in New York City. The drinks may be pricey, but the feeling of cool you get is so worth it.
