Why should I book an official Sibos hotel?

Reasons to book an official Sibos hotel

  • Best available rates at hotels which have been inspected and validated as official Sibos hotels for 2026.
  • Sibos hotel booking service and customer support.
  • Sibos hotel shuttles – complimentary shuttles between official Sibos hotels located over 15 minutes walking distance from the venue and the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) during Sibos week. Further information coming soon.
