Wynwood Walls and the street-art trail
Wynwood Walls is the neighborhood’s outdoor street-art museum and the single most obvious reason visitors stay in Wynwood. The hotel is roughly an 8-minute walk from Wynwood Walls, making it easy to visit at opening or return for evening murals.
Hours vary by season; Wynwood Walls generally opens in the late morning and closes in the early evening. Admission is ticketed — check the Wynwood Walls site for the current schedule and ticket prices before you go.
- Good to know: bring comfortable shoes for walking the blocks of murals and galleries.
- Many murals are on private buildings; respect any placards or ropes and avoid climbing on walls.
- Wynwood’s galleries and independent murals extend well beyond the Walls, so plan time to wander adjacent blocks.
