Downtown Miami hotels have gained in popularity in recent years. The InterContinental Miami made a strong showing in Expedia's list of top 20 most in demand hotels in Miami.

Miami’s popularity is often associated with South Beach, but according to Expedia, many of the most popular hotels can be found elsewhere in the city.

USA TODAY asked Expedia to review its data to determine the 20 most booked hotels in Miami and other key U.S. destinations.

The most in demand hotel is an airport hotel: Miami International Airport Hotel
