Doral

Doral is a city located in north-central Miami-Dade County, FL. A suburban and industrial mixed neighborhood of Miami, it lies just northwest of Miami International Airport and takes its name from the Doral Golf Resort & Spa located within its municipal boundaries.

For a city of its size, Doral has a large number of shops, financial institutions and businesses, especially importers and exporters, primarily because of its proximity to the Miami International Airport. In 2008, Fortune Small Business and CNN Money ranked Doral as 51 on a list of 100 cities with the best mix of business advantages and lifestyle appeal. Originally built by Doris and Alfred Kaskel, who coined “Doral” by combining their names, the city is nicknamed “Doralzuela” due to the city’s large and affluent Venezuelan community.
