The 96-room, mid-range Dorchester Hotel is
located in South Beach’s Art Deco historic district, a block from the beach,
and guests are free to use the beach club at a neighboring hotel. A low-rise Art Deco-style property surrounded by other deluxe (and famous) hotels, the Dorchester delivers excellent value in a pricey area. Nothing is perfect -- rooms are small and simple, and could use a style shake-up -- but that lack of polish is also reflected in lower rates. The
Dorchester’s proximity to the Miami Beach Convention Center, a 10-minute walk away, makes it a good choice for business travelers, as well as tourists. Overall, the hotel is relaxed and
warm, if a little worn and dated around the edges. For a three-pearl property with more up-to-date decor, travelers could try the Freehand Miami.
