Room with a Killer View: Palm Trees Forever at the Biltmore

Where: 1200 Anastasia Avenue [map], Coral Gables, fl, United States, 33134

We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.

This Killer View was snapped from a room in the tower of the eleventh floor of the Biltmore Hotel Coral Gables in Florida.

Our insider look from travel writer Michael de Zayas earlier on in the year already made the Biltmore sound good, and this view seems to confirm it. Apparently it's not a hotel that's just for out-of-towners: well-heeled locals also haunt its spa, tennis courts and golf course. At the moment you can get this spectacular green view (historical buildings thrown in for free) for a bargain of $189 per night (minimum 3 night stay) with the Sizzling Summer Escape deal.

Miami Guidebook Piggyback: The Biltmore Review

Where: 1200 Anastasia Ave # 2, [map], Coral Gables, fl, United States, 33134

Travel writer Michael de Zayas is in Miami on an assignment--30 Miami hotels in 30 Miami nights. You will be able to find his detailed travel musings in Miami and Miami Beach books later this year. HotelChatter asked Michael to let us know his minute-by-minute thoughts on the Miami hotel scene during his guide book mission, which he will be doing over the next two weeks. During the fortnight, Michael will share with us every bed, maid, drink, pool, henhouse and outhouse that comprise the Grove, Gables, Sunny Isles, North Beach, South Beach and the Key Biscayne hotel scene in 2007. If you wish to ask him a question during his jaunt, shoot it our way.

It's time for the Biltmore to be included in the same breath as Miami's upper echelon of luxury properties. For visual drama as a whole its pool, restaurants, and lobby are unmatched by any other hotel in the city. Miami's original luxury hotel may not be the most luxurious today, but I think it might be the most complete hotel today.

More on the Biltmore after the jump.
