"A historic Mediterranean-revival landmark in Coral Gables renowned for its grand architecture, an 18-hole golf course, and a sprawling 600,000-gallon lagoon pool that was a celebrity hangout in the hotel’s early years. Opened in 1930, the property retains period details such as gold trim and velvet upholstery while offering modernized rooms, making it a sophisticated, old-world resort destination outside central Miami." - Matt Meltzer
