European design and mahogany furnishings, and a 1926 colonnade lobby give this hotel a charming feel. Guests will luxuriate in the generously sized rooms, which feature rich upholstery, brilliant marble bathrooms, and stunning views of the surrounding Coral Gables area. While the hotel caters to business travelers with complimentary wireless Internet access in each room and a full business center, the hotel welcomes kids with open arms. Upon check-in, kids receive a bag that includes an activity book, crayons, a deck of cards, and sunglasses; the “suitcase of fun,” which keeps kids busy during time spent in their room, can be checked out at the front desk.
