S4x26 is held at the Loews Miami Beach, and the S4x26 Cabana Sessions are at the Surfcomber Hotel. We have room blocks with highly discounted rates at both of these hotels. When you buy your S4x26 ticket you will get links to reserve a room. We will verify weekly that only ticket holders hold reservations in the room block.

Rooms are available in the block at this price Sunday night through Thursday night. There are fewer rooms available on Sunday, Monday and Thursday nights. (NOTE: Make sure you select the nights you need. The default is five nights, Sunday – Thursday)

The S4 room blocks have sold out in November in recent years. Get your room right after you have your ticket.

Loews Miami Beach

400 Rooms at $349+tax

The Loews Miami Beach is the most convenient hotel for S4x26. All of the S4 Stages, POC Pavilion, Birds of a Feather, S4 Cafe, … are held in the Loews.

Loews is also the best hotel in Miami South Beach. It’s one of the few South Beach hotels that was built in the last 70 years, so it doesn’t have the problem of thin walls, tiny rooms, and very limited space for restaurants/bars/amenities.

• It’s right on the beach
• The pool is large and fantastic
• They have a kids program if you bring your family
• It’s close to Lincoln Road
• And it’s even better than S4x24 when attendees raved about it. All of the rooms are being refurbished in 2025.

And the rate of $349 + tax is a substantial discount over the best online rate of $959. Get your ticket and reserve your room in the Loews Miami South Beach.

Notes on the rate: First, sorry for the complexity. It is the only way the hotel will let S4 pay down the rate. You will be charged $349 + tax per night when you checkout. S4 Events is paying $105 + tax per night to get the rooms down to that rate. You will see this documented on the first Loews page you click on to reserve the room. The reservation will show a rate of $429 + tax per night plus a $25 + tax resort fee for a total of $454 + tax per night. At checkout our $105 + tax payment will reduce this down to a net price of $349 + tax per night. Your first night deposit at the time of reservation will be for $429 + $25 resort fee + tax.

Surfcomber Hotel

60 Rooms at $349+tax

The Surfcomber was the host hotel for the early years of S4 in Miami South Beach. It is a boutique, art deco hotel. It has a great pool, outdoor bar and other facilities and where we hold the Cabana Sessions. Many S4 attendees like to sit around the pool at night … it is where the BeerISAC was born.

The rate is $349 + tax per night. You will see a $49+tax resort fee. S4 will pay this fee and you will not be charged at charged the resort fee at checkout. You will be charged a one night deposit, $349+sales tax, when you make the reservation.

Other Nearby Hotels

There are a large number of hotels with a variety of price ranges within a five-block walk of the S4 venues. These tend not to be chain hotels. They are art deco / historic hotels. The less expensive hotels are off the beach, check out James Street. The map below shows some of the options and prices in September.

Do Not Rent A Car

All of the S4 activities are within a few, easy to walk blocks. Parking is expensive. Miami South Beach is a crazy driving environment at night. And there are plenty of taxi’s and Ubers if you need to go farther.
