The Biltmore Hotel Coral Gables in Miami

History and features of the hotel

Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1996, the Biltmore Hotel first opened in Coral Gables, Florida in 1926. It was a popular location, first used as a hospital and then re-converted as a hotel in 1987.

It was built in 1926 by John Bowman and George Merrick as part of the Biltmore hotel chain. For a long time he served as a hospital. When completed, it was the tallest building in Florida, surpassing the Freedom Tower in downtown Miami. And the pool at one time was the largest in the world.

With its Mediterranean architecture, fountains, huge arches and other picturesque details, the Biltmore is popular for wedding ceremonies and receptions. It features three ballrooms, a garden and courtyard. The largest place offers space for 1000 people. The most popular places are the Palme D'Or restaurant and the 18-hole golf course.

Children ages 9 to 16 can attend Culinary Summer Kids Camps for $520 per week. This cooking program offers classes Monday through Friday from 9 am to 2 pm. For families, there is a three-hour cooking class for $660.
