DORCHESTER HOTEL & SUITES, Miami Beach

The location is within easy walking distance of the beach and the convention center, as well as numerous restaurants, bars, and shops along Lincoln Road and Collins Avenue. The free trolley bus stops nearby and provides convenient access to the wider South Beach area. For trips farther afield, South Beach's main dining and nightlife strip is a 7-minute drive. On-site parking is available but limited to 30 spaces and costs $33 per night. No airport shuttle is offered; taxis or rideshare are the best options from Miami International Airport.

Accommodation ranges from double rooms with one or two double beds to large one-bedroom apartment suites. Apartment suites include a separate living room, dining area, and a well-equipped kitchenette with a full-size refrigerator, microwave, and basic cookware, though no stovetop is provided. Suites with one king or two double beds also include a sofa bed in the living room, accommodating up to five people in a two-double-bed suite. Most apartment suites have a porch, while only two rooms in the entire property have a balcony. The property is older and furnishings are basic; some units show signs of wear such as stained carpets, broken blinds, or older bathroom fixtures. Air conditioning is available but may be noisy or difficult to regulate in some rooms. Road-facing rooms and thin walls can allow noise from neighboring rooms or the street.

Moreno's Cuba is the hotel's restaurant, serving American-style dishes. It has a lively Cuban-themed bar and lounge area where a daily happy hour from 17:00 to 18:00 offers drinks for $1. The bar often features live music in the evenings. Breakfast is not available on-site but can be taken at the sister hotel, Le Marseille, just across the street; vouchers may be provided depending on booking. Many guests choose to use the in-room kitchenette to prepare simple meals due to the limited on-site dining variety.

The on-site heated outdoor swimming pool is open to all guests and is surrounded by a sun terrace with loungers and a small garden. For a more comprehensive beach experience, guests receive daily vouchers for two lounge chairs and an umbrella at the Le Marseille hotel's private beach area, located just across the street. This partnership also grants access to the larger pool and facilities at Le Marseille. The main pool's condition can vary, and some have noted that it may appear less well-maintained during periods of high use. No spa or fitness center is available on the property.

The 24-hour front desk staff can assist with check-in, late arrivals, and luggage storage before check-in or after check-out. Coin-operated washers and dryers are located on-site for guest use. A resort fee of $18 per day covers beach towels, two lounge chairs and an umbrella at the beach, free local calls, and Wi-Fi access. The property is entirely non-smoking. Safety deposit boxes are available at the reception free of charge. The front desk can also provide assistance with arranging transportation, as the hotel does not operate a shuttle to Miami International Airport.
