Get ready for the ultimate summer experience! The 18th Annual Miami Takeover (MTO) returns to the sun-drenched shores of Miami Beach from July 24th to July 27th, 2026.

Founded by HBCU-educated professionals, MTO has become the signature travel destination for urban professionals, culture tastemakers, and music lovers nationwide. This isn’t just a weekend getaway—it’s a high-energy fusion of Black culture, networking, community service, and nightlife, all while experiencing South Beach through the eyes of those who know it best.

Lodging & Host Hotel: The Marseilles Hotel

Experience the heartbeat of the takeover by staying at our official host hotel, the iconic Marseilles Hotel. Located directly on the oceanfront in the heart of South Beach’s Art Deco district, the Marseilles offers the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern luxury.

Flexible Booking Options:

• Base Three-Day Package: Enjoy the core MTO experience with our standard 4-day, 3-night lodging and party pass bundle.

• Extend Your Stay: Want to arrive early to beat the rush or stay late to recover from the festivities? You can customize your trip by adding a night on either end of the official dates (July 24–27).

• Amenities: Enjoy direct beach access, a private pool oasis with cabanas, and the convenience of being steps away from all MTO-sanctioned events.
