Biltmore Hotel - Coral Gables

The Perfect Destination Wedding

We were there for our friends' daughter's wedding - the perfect setting. We were greeted on arrival with a glass of champagne, and were quickly taken to our room. The staff is efficient, pleasant and accommodating. Beautiful pool area, great breakfasts and lunches served on poolside patio in lush setting. Beautiful ballroom and lobby. And the wedding on the back lawn was exquisite! Conveniently located too - not far from the airport, Coconut Grove and Miami Beach. We're looking forward to going back some time

Not what I expected

Everything was nickel and dime. No coffee maker in the room and no easy way to get a cup at a reasonable price. Sunday Brunch at $75/head was crazy. Hotel service was terribly slow at the pool to get a drink. Empty glasses from other guests were repeatedly walked by without picking up. Never Again

Great room for the money

The Hotel is old world but the charges for so called "resort fees" ($20.00 p/day)to use the pool or health club is unnecessary. The restaurant is awfully expensive and the quality of the food is inferior. On Sunday, it is only brunch for fixed price of over $ 100.00 p/person and that is a rip-off since you cannot order "a la carte" when you just want breakfast. Obviously, the hotel does everything to boost income but it is not always justified. Jp. New York City

Phenomenal Hotel

The hotel was amazing - staff, room, ammenities. Very comfortable room. Historic hotel with amazing character. Can't wait to return!

Classic hotel

Older but beautiful property. Resturant service and food quality was great, particularly the french resturant. Lovely, famous pool.

Best hotel I've ever stayed in!

Beautiful hotel and surrounding area, huge pool and gym, helpful staff, it's listed in the book "Leading Hotels in the World", couldn't have asked for anything more, except maybe free breakfast :)

The BEST Hotel i've stayed in

This is an excellent place to stay. Super service from the beginning to the end. Everything was done right. Next time I'm golfing and swimming.

Inconvenient location

We loved the decor of the hotel, and the beautiful pool. The service in the restaurants and the food was excellent, though pricey, which we expected in that hotel Our room was a disappointment though. It was very small, I think the bathroom was as big as the sleeping area. The bed was small and not that comfortable. There was no desk for the computer, and the setup was on a credenza, with no place to put your legs when you were trying to use the computer. People returning from partying were very noisy and we laid in bed listening to these inconsiderate people while we were trying to sleep, most annoying. The location was in a beautiful area but not convenient if you didn't have a car It cost us from $30 to $50 in cab fare each time we wanted to go to the Dolphin mall to shop. They had no shuttle service

Absolutely wonderful...

Very relaxing - pool is excellent. Loved every minute of my 4-day stay here.

Fabulous!

We went for my birthday weekend and it was a wonderful, romantic getaway. The hotel, staff, rooms, food, service, pool, amenities are all A+. The Sunday brunch is outstanding, as they have any and all foods you may desire, as well as a Mariachi band. Staying at this hotel makes you feel as though you are truly in another country. We loved our stay!

Very beautiful, but not perfect

The hotel is very beautiful. The swimming pool is huge. However, we were charged for items from the minibar even though we took nothing from it. The money was not returned to us, though we made two phone calls about it. Many of the guests at the hotel were snooty.

Breathtaking!

From our complimentary champaign at check-in, to our folded down beds at night, our stay at the Biltmore was AMAZING! What a beautiful building and architecture! The pool was great. From our room on the 5th floor, we were able to see the 4th of July fireworks above all of South Florida. It was great and we'd definitely stay and recommend this hotel to friends.

A Classic!

Beautiful hotel the maintains the air of the 1920's classic resort hotel. The old photos that are all over the hotel help instill a feeling of history. Bird aviaries in the lobby and the woodwork detail in the elevators add to the charm. Elevators are a bit small compared to modern versions. Rooms are not large but the beds and lines are very nice. Bathrooms are very clean with travertine tile and good fixtures. Staff was quite nice and the pool area is gorgeous. The neighborhood is nice, but there is nothing within walking distance. We did not eat at the hotel restaurants so we can't comment on those, but the Biltmore does have an excellent culinary reputation. A wonderful stay! Hint: Use the self park for your rental and save the daily valet fee.
