Crypto hotel field guide · Miami Beach 25
Loews was the Crypto Gathering home base—not every ticket’s included hotel
Real Vision centered talks and its help desk at Loews, with the Banana Zone on the beach steps away. The gathering was capped at 500; only the Visionary package named a hotel inclusion, and that hotel was the Ritz-Carlton.

The honest take
Talks, support and beach programming shared one walkable base.
Loews worked as the gathering’s social and operational home base, with talks and beach programming clustered around the hotel. The event published multiple passes. Its Visionary package included accommodation at the Ritz-Carlton, not Loews, so attendees needed to read the exact package instead of inferring a hotel benefit from the home-base label.
0FIAT VERDICT Best understood as the 2026 programme hub, not an automatic ticket-and-room bundle.
Talks, support and beach programming shared one walkable base
Real Vision called Loews the home base and placed the Banana Zone nearby on the beach. That made the no-panel, scheduled-experience format easier to navigate on foot.

VENUE DIRECTORY
VENUE · Loews Miami Beach Hotel and adjacent beachfront→STAY · South Beach→STATUS · PAST EDITION
The January 2026 gathering limited attendance to 500 and replaced conventional panels with talks and scheduled experiences. Loews worked because South Beach, the help desk and the beach programme were close together. That operating model matters more than the hotel’s resort category. A room booking never establishes badge or private-event access unless the organiser says so explicitly.
