Freehand Miami, hostel in Miami
Freehand Miami is a hostel in Miami Beach with modern design housed in a 1930s building, offering various room types with bunk beds or private bathrooms and amenities including a courtyard with palms and pool. The property features two bars including the well-known Broken Shaker and an on-site restaurant using fresh local ingredients, plus free bike rentals and a space that can accommodate events for up to 90 people.
The building was originally built in 1930 as the Indian Creek Hotel, preserving the style of that era in its structure. It was later transformed and reimagined as a modern hostel while maintaining its historic architecture and character.
The name "Freehand" reflects the relaxed and creative approach to design seen in colorful walls featuring local artists' work and handwoven textiles from around the world. The courtyard with its palms and pool serves as a gathering place where travelers from different countries meet, share stories, and form friendships.
The hostel is within walking distance of Miami Beach and reachable from the airport by public transport, with free bikes available to explore the neighborhood independently. Luggage storage is offered before check-in and after check-out, and guests have access to free WiFi and city maps to navigate the area.
The Broken Shaker is known for inventive cocktails like the Burning to Shine with tropical flavors and the Cocoa Puff Old Fashioned, a playful twist on a classic drink. String lights illuminate the courtyard at night as guests gather to sip creative beverages and experience the energy of the place.
