Description

This package includes a Dolphin Odyssey Experience at Miami Seaquarium for two and a two-night stay in a Junior Suite at The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida. 

The Biltmore: In keeping with traditional European grand hotels, Old World charm permeates the property. Consistent with the architectural style of the affluent homes of Coral Gables, The Biltmore's design is considered ?Mediterranean Revival,? based predominantly on Spanish style with Moorish and Italian accents. The Biltmore's centerpiece is its 93-foot copper clad tower, modeled after the Giralda Tower in Seville, Spain. Guests arrive at The Biltmore via an arched driveway that leads to an impressive façade. Throughout the property, guests will encounter grand architectural ornaments, from the colonnaded lobby with hand-painted ceiling beams, to the open-air courtyard and fountain, plus balconies with balustrades and gleaming terrazzo and tile floors.

Today, the 273 room hotel and resort is known as The Biltmore and is indeed as elegant as the day it opened. The Biltmore?s rich history makes it Coral Gables? most preeminent historic landmark. Coral Gables is a largely residential, affluent area graced with broad, planted boulevards, golf courses, and a country clubs. Stately Mediterranean homes, Banyan trees, and tropical foliage line its quiet streets.

Miami Seaquarium:
