Doral Hotels

Doral, Florida

Located in the Miami-Dade county of South Florida, the city of Doral is most famous for its golf resort and features luxury hotels alongside world-class shopping and dining. With an airport close by and only moments from bustling Downtown Miami and the vibrant vacation hot spot of Miami Beach, this is the perfect destination for both vacations of every ilk.

Golf

The Trump National Doral Miami, formerly the Doral Golf Resort and Spa, boasts five championship courses that have played host to an array of international competitions. The TPC Blue Monster is part of the PGA Tour’s Tournament Players Club network. This historic resort was founded in the 1960s and has since welcomed numerous champion golfers such as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.

It is hard to believe that the picturesque palm tree-lined scenery was once desolate swampland; today it is one of the most iconic golfing locations in Florida and worldwide. This golf resort is designed for professionals and amateurs alike. In fact, America’s top golf school can be found here providing everything from private lessons and group clinics to after-school classes and summer camps for children.

Shopping and Dining

Doral has an impressive selection of shops for indulging in retail therapy. Miami International Mall boasts four department stores including Macy’s and Sears, along with more than 140 shops. Set over an incredible one million square feet, this family-friendly mega mall is also home to a variety of restaurants and coffee shops. Close by is the Dolphin Mall – the largest shopping destination in Miami and a beautifully-designed venue that has different sections created to reflect the area’s vibrant culture. Chic fashion boutiques can be found in Moda and a variety of Latin-flavoured restaurants and cafes are located in Ramblas Plaza. The luxury Bal Harbour shops and unique open-air mall of Lincoln Road in South Beach are easily reached by car. 

Sightseeing and Activities

If visitors are seeking diversion other than of the golfing variety, Doral has an abundance of opportunities for sightseeing right on the doorstep. The fascinating neighborhoods of Miami are well worth exploring and a day at the beach is only a short drive away. Admiring Art Deco architecture in South Beach, joining walkers, joggers, rollerbladers and cyclists on the famous Miami Boardwalk and perusing incredible street art at the Wynwood Arts District are just a few suggestions.

Sports fans can head to the nearby Miami Gardens where the Sun Life Stadium is situated - this is home to the Miami Dolphins and the University of Miami Hurricanes football team. There are plenty of pretty parks to relax in and enjoy recreational activities. Soccer fields, volleyball courts, tennis courts and basketball courts are featured at the 14-acre Morgan Levy Park, while a picnic pavilion and leisure facilities such as baseball fields and a jogging trail are at Doral Meadow Park.
