Coral Gables is one of Miami’s most alluring destinations, with green avenues, beautiful architecture and an easy-going way of life.
When Coral Gables was founded around 100 years ago it was imagined as a beautiful, tranquil city filled with lush green avenues, a relaxed atmosphere, and playful architecture. A century on, this little slice of South Florida is just that, a stunning place to visit and enjoy a slower pace of life. This is a place of green spaces, art galleries, and museums, with a bustling economy and a focus on well-being through the many outdoor activities on offer. Coral Gables also features several top-notch five-star and boutique hotels that make your stay just as relaxing as exploring the city itself. Here are some of the best.
