Historic Mediterranean revival hotel with golf, spa, and stunning pool
"A Miami-area classic anchored by a historic course originally designed in 1925 by Donald Ross and updated for modern play, complemented by one of the country's largest resort pools (about 23,000 square feet) with furnished cabanas. The stately property also features an expansive spa, traditional English afternoon tea service, and a courtyard restaurant." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.

"Running Feb 29–Mar 3 at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, ModaMiami spotlights over 100 supercars and features a special multicourse dinner by chef Mario Carbone along with offerings from Casa Tua." - Alona Martinez
"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
"It doesn’t get any more old school Miami than this—a regal Mediterranean revival hotel that dates back to 1926 and has hosted presidents, dignitaries and even Oprah over the years. The lobby still retains the trappings of that bygone era with hand painted frescoes on barrel vaulted ceilings, travertine floors, marble columns and carved mahogany furnishings. But despite the throwback charm, this grand dame has maintained its vast offerings and kept up with a modern crowd, having undergone a $35 million renovation in 2018 that updated all the rooms and common areas. And there’s no lack of amenities over the 150-acre property, with a lavish spa and salon, multiple tennis courts, the recently restored 18-hole Donald Ross Championship Golf Course (home of the Jim Mclean Golf Academy), and a choice of four restaurants. The colossal pool is an attraction in its own right, holding the title of largest largest hotel pool in the continental U.S. (with its own quirky history of hosting alligator wrestling) and flanked by Roman statues and cascading waterfalls." - Sara Liss, Jennifer M.

"At The Biltmore Hotel (1200 Anastasia Avenue, Coral Gables) I experienced the Goya open-fire cook-off: a three-hour event featuring over 20 local chefs (including Carlos Garcia of Leku, Josh Elliott of QT Tapas, and Rick Mace from Tropical Smokehouse) with dishes cooked over open flames, beverage pairings, and live entertainment, culminating in a crowd-voted Heritage Hero; tickets run $125–$175 and the Heritage Hero Grand Finalé will be at the 2024 South Beach Wine & Food Festival." - Alona Martinez
