Trump National Doral Miami, part of the Trump Hotel Collection, has expanded its meeting and event spaces, including newly enhanced ballrooms. The transformed venues offer more than 100,000 sf of elegant indoor space, state-of-the-art technology, and sophisticated catering and event planning services coupled with abundant outdoor venues throughout the vast 800-acre resort.
“Our vision for Trump National Doral from the onset has been to create an ultra-luxurious resort property in the heart of Miami, and these venues are an incredible reflection of this and the grandeur of the resort in its entirety,” said Ivanka Trump, executive vice president of development and acquisitions, The Trump Organization. “The newly designed ballrooms and meeting spaces are stunning; a true representation of elegance and one of many defining characteristics that will make Trump National Doral an unparalleled experience for our guests.”
In June, the resort will begin transforming Legends, the largest ballroom (24,000 sf), and reintroduce the venue in October as The Donald J. Trump Grand Ballroom.
“Meetings and events are a very large part of our business, and while the resort is currently being transformed into the ultimate golf destination, we also made sure to enhance all of the current group offerings and provide impressive function space that will far exceed our clients’ expectations,” said Jim Petrus, chief operating officer of Trump Hotel Collection.
Three new ballrooms have been added to the resort. Currently open, they are: The Crystal Ballroom, a stunning 7,300-sf venue perched on the top level of the resort clubhouse with expansive views of the famed Blue Monster Golf Course. The venue can accommodate up to 500 guests, and more than 1,000 guests when used in conjunction with its 8,000-sf outdoor terrace. The Ivanka Trump Ballroom, comprised of 8,100 sf of elegant indoor space, boasts well-appointed seating for up to 1,200 guests. The new White & Gold Ballroom (9,500 sf) redefines classic style and seats up to 1,200 guests.
Additionally, two other ballrooms have been transformed: The Majestic Ballroom (2,800 sf) and The Imperial Ballroom (7,500 sf). The Imperial is currently open, and the Majestic opens soon.
Vibrant new restaurant and bar concepts also will be introduced to the property in 2014, including a BLT Prime restaurant, a highly touted restaurant from among the Trump global golf portfolio. With three private dining rooms encompassing indoor seating and an expansive veranda, BLT Prime is a robust space with seating for nearly 350 guests.
The resort has enhanced five golf courses, including the famed, redesigned Blue Monster golf course, which has been the official home of the PGA Tour for more than 50 years. The acclaimed Jim McLean Golf School is also available onsite.
Other noteworthy updates include a new hotel lobby; a completely revamped pool complex; a 48,000-sf resort spa; and a redesigned state-of-the-art fitness center.
