About
The Biltmore Hotel stands at 1200 Anastasia Avenue in Coral Gables, Florida, a short drive from downtown Miami. Known formally as the Coral Gables Biltmore Hotel, it is a grand Mediterranean Revival building, completed in 1926, and it remains one of the most recognisable landmarks in the area.
What to see
The hotel's most striking feature is its 315-foot tower, which once served as a landmark for aviators flying over South Florida. Seen from the surrounding streets, the tower gives a clear sense of the building's scale and of the ambition behind it. The architecture reflects the period's taste for Mediterranean styling, and the interiors and grounds carry the luxury and glamour associated with 1920s Miami.
Why visit
- It is a National Historic Landmark, so the visit is as much about the building's history as its comfort.
- The tower and facade are worth seeing from the outside, even if you are not staying.
- It suits a visitor interested in early twentieth-century architecture and the story of Miami's boom years.
