As the College Football Playoff National Championship takes over Hard Rock Stadium on Monday, January 19, at 7:30 p.m., Miami is matching the moment with a hospitality blitz of its own. Hotels across Miami and Miami Beach are rolling out elevated, game-day-ready packages that go well beyond a place to sleep.

The Continental Championship Playmaker Package
Hotel Continental leans fully into championship fever with a game-day getaway designed for fans who want the full experience on and off the field.

Transportation to and from the stadium is seamlessly covered with a rideshare credit, while a custom QR-coded playlist, aptly titled Continental Championship Anthems, sets the tone throughout the weekend. Mornings kick off with a complimentary Breakfast of Champions for two from Divebar, followed by poolside downtime featuring football shaped floaties and a menu of playful, team color-inspired cocktails, including round or bottomless Hail Marys. For guests staying in to watch the action, Mixer transforms into an interactive viewing hub with live score predictions, trivia competitions, raffles, and high energy fan moments. The package is available upon request and subject to availability.
The Gates Championship Weekend Experience
Set along the Collins Canal in the heart of Miami Beach, The Gates Hotel South Beach delivers an easy, sun-soaked home base for College Football Playoff National Championship weekend. The experience begins with complimentary celebratory drinks at the Lobby or Pool Bar, where ice-cold beers, spiked seltzers, and Miami-inspired cocktails set a relaxed, coastal tone. Throughout the weekend, the expansive pool deck transforms into a lively gathering point, complete with private cabana access, beer pong tournaments, lawn games and standout activations like Tipsy Salsa and Sip & Paint. A rideshare credit ensures smooth transportation to and from Hard Rock Stadium, while recovery minded touches, including discounted in-room massages from K’Alma Spa and morning beachside yoga, help guests recharge between game-day celebrations.
