Just 9 miles away from the Hard Rock Stadium, the Miami Lakes Hotel was previously known as the Shula’s Hotel & Golf Club, (named after the Hall of Fame Dolphins coach Don Shula). To be more precise, it is actually the Miami Lakes Hotel on Main (the name change occurred January 2022). This is a great destination for business travelers and leisure travelers alike in a unique setting not far from Miami International Airport (about 20 to 30 minutes by car depending on traffic.) The hotel praises itself as the only full-service hotel resort in the Miami Lakes area on their website. As the name suggests, it is located in the quaint town of Miami Lakes, on Main Street, just minutes from downtown Miami, Florida. Main Street is known for a variety of upscale shops, a 17-Cineplex movie theater, and over a dozen restaurants all just steps away from the hotel.
The Miami Lakes Hotel is a place where you can fully embrace your golf passion with an 18-hole championship course, besides having also 16,000 flexible square feet of modern indoor and outdoor meeting space for corporate or social events available.
Dining is at the premises available!
The hotel’s restaurant offerings range from a casual sports bar, a charming French-style bakery and a golf course grill called ML Steaks + Sports.
Fitness and Athletic Activities are encouraged:
Also, while enjoying your stay at the Miami Lakes Hotel, guests are welcome to take advantage of complimentary access to the hotel’s 45,000 square foot state of the art fitness facility, called the Miami Lakes Athletic Club formerly known as the Shula’s Athletic Club. Work out and stay healthy with unique fitness classes, enjoy a fully equipped weight room, and full size indoor basketball courts.

(formerly Shula’s Golf Club)
The Senator Course is known as one of Miami’s best Championship Golf Courses. The Miami Lakes Golf Club offers an 18-hole, Par 72 course with Championship Bermuda greens, a driving range, and a practice area. The Senator Course has reopened again after it underwent a full renovation of all greens, tees, and bunkers.
The golf course was originally designed by Bill Watts in 1962 and later updated by Golf Course Architect Kipp Schulties back in 1998. The classic style with the lush tropical landscape make this course a beautiful golf destination.
Formerly, the hotel was called the Don Shula Hotel and you may have already guessed correctly, that the name of the hotel is not talking about any random Don Shula, but the famous Donald Francis “Don” Shula (January 4, 1930 – May 4, 2020), the former American football cornerback and coach, best known as coach of the Miami Dolphins: He is the unforgettable one, who led the Miami Dolphins to two Super Bowl victories, and to the National Football League’s only perfect season! Also, he was the NFL head coach, with the most winnings. He compiled 347 career victories and 328 regular season victories. We will always remember him!
