The Biltmore is one of the finest properties in South Florida for a host of reasons.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set along the quiet streets of Coral Gables, shaded banyans frame the grounds just minutes from the boutiques on Miracle Mile.
The rooms
Classic bedrooms feature oak furnishings, stone floors, and architectural motifs inspired by the estate's historic Mediterranean design.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A 23,000-square-foot freshwater pool borders private cabanas with outdoor showers, and the gym runs daily fitness classes.
The spa
The 12,000-square-foot spa holds eucalyptus-infused steam rooms and Himalayan salt saunas, with loungers facing the grounds.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Fontana serves Italian fare in the open-air fountain courtyard, and The Biltmore Bar pours cocktails beside wood-paneled walls.
George Merrick’s original Mediterranean revival masterpiece still stands as one of Miami’s grandest hotels, a tribute to fine design and intricate detail.
How it began
Opened in 1926 as developer George Merrick's flagship, the property served as a military hospital before its meticulous restoration.
