HOUSING
NOTE: Au Pair Weekend is not affiliated with and does not recommend any of the specific accommodations below. Please do your own research before choosing your weekend housing.
Reserve Housing with Your APW Registration
As a convenience to students, we offer the option of housing at a hotel where the course takes place. Simply choose your hotel stay as an add-on during course registration. Prices listed reflect a discount because multiple students share a room (we do not offer any private rooms). There will be 3 students per room.
Au Pair Weekend coordinates this housing option as a courtesy for our students and it is only available on a first-come, first-served basis. There may not be enough rooms and beds to accommodate all students.
Each hotel room will include 2 queen beds and 1 sofa bed. There is only ever 1 sofa bed in a room, so if you want to be in a room with a friend, only one of you can register for a sofa bed. Each person staying at the hotel must register and pay for their spot. Breakfast and wifi are included with all rooms.
There will be a $50 administration fee for all housing refunds. Refunds only allowed up to 30 days prior to the weekend start date.
Important Note: Please keep travel time to/from campus in mind if you arrange housing on your own.
TRANSPORTATION TO CAMPUS
Public Transportation
The MIA Metromover and the Metrorail are a great way to get around Miami. You may still need to rely on Uber or Lyft to complete your journeys.
Travel Between Airports & Campus
If you are coming directly from MIA Airport, you can use the MIA Metromover to get to the hotel where classes are held. If you choose to drive yourself (or take an Uber or Lyft, etc.) please note that Miami traffic is unpredictable and it can take anywhere from 15 minutes - 45 minutes to drive the 8 miles between MIA and our downtown campus.
Hotel Parking
Comfort Inn has valet parking available beginning at 11am daily for $40.
There is additional paid parking in the area. Check out the mobile app ParkMobile for spots near the hotel. Please read street signs when you arrive to be aware of any restricted areas or no parking zones.
