The Best Places to Drink and Stay in Coral Gables

The 315-foot copper-toned tower has been a Coral Gables landmark forever, and the hotel underneath it leans hard into Old World Mediterranean grandeur without apologizing for a second. Rooms are quietly elegant, the grounds are tropical and unhurried, and the pool holds 600,000 gallons, which feels like a flex until you're actually in it. A professional gym, a French restaurant, and a lobby bar round out a property that moves at a slower, more deliberate pace than Miami proper.

Art Deco bones and clean Modernist lines give this Coral Gables hotel a certain self-possession, like it has nothing to prove to South Beach and knows it. The 242 rooms run toward sleek contemporary comfort, and the on-site Americana Kitchen keeps you from having to venture far on nights when you don't want to. Coral Gables moves at a slower register than Miami proper, and the hotel fits that mood without feeling like a compromise.
