Which of these Miami hotels would you select?

[Anonymous]

I'm limited to these choices for a business trip, and I'd appreciate feedback from folks who are familiar with the area.

I'm hoping to pick a hotel that is on the water/near the water or has a nice view AND is within walking distance of something (restaurants, bars, etc.).

JW Marriott Marquis
Marriott Biscayne Bay
Conrad
Epic
Intercontinental Miami

Okay, nervous Nellie.

I'm fairly certain people actually live in Miami year round, so I'm not going to pass up the opportunity for a free trip to speak in Miami. I'll be indoors much of the time, so I don't anticipate getting bitten by a zika infected mosquito. I'm also north of 40 and done having kids.

I stayed at the Marriott marquis last October when I was there for the half ironman. It was fine but nothing special. If others are strongly recommending the intercontinental, that is probably a better choice.

OP here: is the Intercontinental walking distance to Bayside marketplace? I was briefly at bayside, and I think I recall seeing the Intercon off in the distance.

I've only stayed at the marriott Biscayne bay, and it isn't near anything.
