I stayed at the Dorchester recently while visiting Art Basel Miami Beach. The location can't be beat, but the hotel itself is very shabby. Sloppy paint job, scuffs and chips everywhere, the bathroom was very dingy, and the entire place smelled stale--except in the places where it smelled overwhelmingly of very cheap air freshener. The beds were clean but the... more

I was looking for an apartment with 2 bedrooms in miami beach for our 5 days stay and it was not easy and cheap. But finally, after searching the web, i found this hotel. They contacted me for a 2 bedroom apt the price was reasonable. Much more, the director, Fara who mailed me, was very friendly and very helpful... more

We booked to stay here for 3 nights in total, two at the beginning of our stay in Miami and the other the night before flying out of Miami. This hotel was recommended to us so we were disapointed to read others comments on tripadvisor about how The Dorchester was not up to standard. Despite our reservations we stayed there.... more

I had the pleasure of staying at the Dorchester on 7-10-08 thru 7-13-08. This was a girl's escapade! My friend & I were quite impressed with the hotel. We were almost certain that we were going to be staying in a DUMP based on the reviews we had read. However, it was definitely the opposite! Whatever you do: DO NOT... more

My Wife and I stayed at the Dorchester for one week. April 08. English is not the 1st language of any of the staff on reception. Communication was a problem when asking for directions or almost anything else. Room was cleaned daily but noise from the Shore Club opposite was a problem,with car horns sounding throughout the night and early... more

The hotel was clean and air conditioned (with a $4 per night charge that they don't tell you about). Rooms were ok, no complaints. The hotel could do with some refurbishment of the rooms but the foyer was lovely. My only complaint was at the front desk, with a woman called Viji-who was very rude to all female residents but... more

I had a bit of a mix up with the hotel due to me booking through book it .com the suite that I reserved with a king bed and a pullout sofa wasnt available so I ended up with a room with a queen bed. Despite that and the fact that the pool side bar didnt have what I wanted... more

The only reason why this hotel earns two stars is that the price -considering the trendy location- was OK for what we got. Be prepared to adjust your expectations when you go there. Friends of ours stayed at the Marseilles next door (sister property) with -compared to us - high expectations and got terribly dissappointed. We saw the Marseilles room... more
