Dorchester Hotel & Suites

Built along Collins Avenue in Miami Beach's Mid-Beach corridor, Dorchester Hotel & Suites sits two blocks from the sand and a ten-minute walk from the Art Deco Historic District, putting Lincoln Road's restaurants within easy reach without the South Beach crowds. It works well for budget-minded couples and families wanting beach access without paying oceanfront rates.

Rooms and suites include kitchenettes, useful for longer stays. A courtyard pool sits away from street noise, and free parking is rare this close to the water.

Collins Avenue buses reach downtown Miami in under thirty minutes.
