Miami’s Most Unusual or Creative Spaces for Meetings, Events & Experiences

There’s no better place to plan meetings and events year-round than Greater Miami & Miami Beach. From its idyllic tropical temperatures and miles of pristine beaches, the area abounds with the perfect blend of business and pleasure. While there are plenty of hotels and restaurants to host your clients and team members for corporate gatherings, consider choosing one of the city’s most unique meeting spaces, conference rooms, event spaces, and venues. From gorgeous oceanfront views at the Faena Forum to a historic estate in Coral Gables, Greater Miami & Miami Beach is the place to meet up. 


Why Choose an Unusual Location? 

Miami’s venue landscape is as vibrant and varied as its culture, blending historical character with cutting-edge design in ways that can transform any gathering into an experience. Opting for one of these distinctive venues is about connecting the essence of the event with the environment and inviting attendees into an immersive setting—one that aligns with the brand’s personality and inspires creativity and connection in fresh ways. 

By choosing a memorable locale, brands can subtly communicate values like innovation or sophistication while also anchoring their message in the physical space. This helps the experience resonate well beyond the event itself. The right Miami venue elevates an event, crafting an atmosphere that aligns with intention and leaves a lasting impression.
