Candlewood Suites Miami Executive Airport - Kendall By IHG

Comfortable Suites Near the Action, Without the Noise

Modern and relaxed, Candlewood Suites Miami Executive Airport - Kendall offers a quiet home base in Kendall, just outside the buzz of downtown Miami. With spacious suites featuring full kitchens, free parking, and a laid-back vibe, it's a smart pick for music fans seeking both comfort and convenience. The hotel is located about 14 miles from Miami International Airport and within driving distance to several of the area's top concert venues and nightlife districts.

Guests enjoy access to a 24-hour front desk, an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and a snack bar—making it easy to recharge between shows or wind down after a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location offers a perfect balance for concert-goers: you're close enough to reach major venues in about 25–30 minutes, but far enough out to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep. The hotel provides free parking, which is a huge perk if you're driving to and from shows. Flexible check-in at 3:00 PM and a generous check-out time of 12:00 PM lets you sleep in after a late concert. The on-site laundry and kitchen-equipped suites are also handy for longer stays.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want roomy accommodations with kitchen space
• Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
• Couples planning a low-key weekend around live music
• Fans seeking quiet after a loud night out
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, each suite includes a fully equipped kitchen—perfect for late-night snacks or pre-show meals. The 24/7 snack bar in the lobby offers quick bites, and there are several local eateries within a short drive. Breakfast is not formally served, but you can stock your in-room fridge for a slow morning after a night of music.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a chill zone, you’re within easy reach of Miami’s vibrant nightlife scene. Head downtown or to Coral Gables for live music bars, lounges, and clubs. Back at the hotel, the poolside area and shared lounge offer a relaxing way to wind down.

What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness and spacious layout of the suites, especially the full kitchens. The staff gets shout-outs for being friendly and helpful. Concert-goers appreciate the quiet atmosphere after high-energy shows, and many mention the easy parking and solid WiFi as major pluses.

Areas for Improvement

The location is a bit far from downtown Miami, so plan on having a car or using rideshares to get to and from venues. Some guests note that the area is more suburban, so nightlife options nearby are limited.

The Bottom Line

A clean, quiet, and value-packed stay for concert-goers who want space to relax after the show and don’t mind being a short drive from the main music scene.
