We went for walk in & around the Biltmore Hotel. I thought it was impressive looking from the front but my oh my, I couldn't believe how palatial and extravagant it was by the pool and inside the lobby! Hopefully these photos will give you a small inkling of what it's like to stay there.
This is a shot of the inlaid wood paneling on the lobby ceiling.

To get away from the "crowd" at the apartment (future posting) I went for a drive to Coral Gables. I accidentally came across a magnificent old hotel called The Biltmore. You can view an aerial view of it here. It was built in 1926 for a mere $10 Million, as part of the luxury Biltmore Hotel Chain. From WW2 until 1987 it served other uses but has been a hotel again since then. Though money doesn't buy happiness, I sure wouldn't mind staying here for a few days!
