President Donald Trump's 800-acre Doral golf resort and spa laid off or furloughed 560 staff members due to the hospitality shutdown imposed to contain the coronavirus pandemic.
Other big names in South Florida hospitality laid off or furloughed a combined 874 workers, according to state filings under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
Trump National Doral Miami, which has four championship golf courses at 4400 NW 87th Ave., is laying off full-time and part-time staff, including 123 servers, 43 housekeepers and 25 cooks.
The resort has a 48,000-square-foot spa, hotel, villa-style accommodations and the BLT Prime and Palm Grill restaurants.
Trump National implemented the temporary layoffs and furloughs over two weeks starting March 19, according to its March 30 filing. The state made Trump National's filing available Wednesday.
Iconic Miami-Dade County hotels that weren't spared include the downtown InterContinental Miami, which is in the process of laying off 377 over a two-week period that started April 3.
In Miami Beach, The Standard Spa laid off 236 and Delano South Beach laid off 261.
The 641-key InterContinental owned by real estate investment trust Strategic Hotels & Resorts opened in 1982. The 35-story hotel at 100 Chopin Plaza offers expansive views of Biscayne Bay and PortMiami.
It's yet to be determined whether the InterContinental layoffs, which include 46 room attendants, will be temporary or permanent, according to its filing.
The Standard Spa is a boutique hotel that's better known for its hydrotherapy spa that includes a cedar sauna, mud lounge, swimming pool and restaurant overlooking Biscayne Bay. The Belle Isle property is one of five boutique hotels that comprise The Standard Hotels. The layoffs impacted 28 servers, 18 bussers, 41 massage therapists and 20 cooks.
The oceanfront Delano at 1685 Collins Ave. plans for layoffs that took effect March 31 to be temporary, although it conceded in its state filing that this could become permanent. The affected staff include 43 housekeepers, 32, servers, 15 bartenders and 12 spa employees.
The 194-key Art Deco-style Delano tower rises 15 stories, which made it the tallest Miami Beach building when it opened in 1947. It's owned by SBE, a Los Angeles-based privately held hospitality group.
