If there is one spot that captures the bygone splendor of Coral Gables’ Prohibition-era glamour, The Biltmore Hotel is it. Built in 1926, The Biltmore has survived many things in its nearly 100-year lifespan: hurricanes, land busts, gangsters, and even, according to rumors, ghosts. Hardships aside, the Biltmore has transformed itself into a popular four-star hotel, with a delicious champagne brunch, a beautiful pool, and golf course access, all surrounded by a lush, tropical landscape – albeit at a steep price. They have an afternoon tea if you want to go all Downton Abbey.
