Why biltmore?public imaGe

Built in 1926, it was designated a National Historic landmark in 1994. The hotel was restored pursuant to a Federal program which uses revenues from private sector operations to restore and maintain properties regarded as National treasures worthy of preserving in perpetuity. Given its status, the hotel is a preferred destination for heads-of-state and dignitaries as well as for political and government conferences. The Biltmore was selected as the White House hotel of choice for the Summit of the Americas and has also been the home to the offices of FTAA and the Governor for the past ten years. The total economic impact of the Biltmore is estimated at $110 million to the city annually. In light of these facts, the Biltmore is a perfect location for conferences, enabling companies to conduct their business in a high-quality environment while supporting a governmental objective to preserve important historic monuments for posterity.

a previeW To neW era

We are happy to announce we unveiled the enhancements to our new lobby in summer 2017.

Drawing inspiration from the property’s iconic architecture and ceiling frescos, D’Shakil Designs and Studio 5 followed the original vision set by George merrick, the influential developer behind Coral Gables and an instrumental figure in establishing The Biltmore Hotel.

“These new enhancements bring an added element of style to the hotel, creating an improved sense of luxury that also reflects The Biltmore’s historic legacy,” said matthias Kammerer, Managing Director at The Biltmore Hotel. “This new design brings a fresh take to the details and décor of the lobby, all while continuing to offer guests a glimpse into the hotel’s storied past.”

• The Biltmore Hotel has a key element found in a beautiful european country. The Biltmore’s most striking feature, its glorious tower, is a replica of the Giralda Tower in Sevilla, Spain whose architecture is of Moorish and Spanish culture and is one of the city’s primary landmarks. As a result, in 1924 the beautiful tower made its way to The United States and achieved National Historic landmark status.

• our historic Donald Ross, 18-hole, 71 par championship golf course was built in 1925 and has hosted a unique variety of celebrities and athletes throughout the years. on the Third Annual Biltmore open, legendary professional baseball player, Babe Ruth, golfed on the course for this tournament and enjoyed the Biltmore’s grounds with his family. Since then, The Biltmore has hosted numerous tournaments, including the

annual Jr. orange Bowl International championship that celebrated its 52nd anniversary in 2015 with the top junior golfers from around the world and has had an impressive alumni list including current professional players Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson, and lexi Thompson.

• In the 1920’s & 1930’s The Biltmore Hotel was known as the social center in coral Gables and Tea Dances were a very popular pastime that included Afternoon Tea with dancing. After The Biltmore closed as a hotel due to World War II and became a hospital, one of the first major events to raise awareness about the significance of the property was a Tea Dance hosted by the “committee To Save The Biltmore”. Without the events and people who cared deeply about The Biltmore Hotel, we would not be where we are today.

• Since the 1920’s, The Biltmore has hosted celebrities and dignitaries including one of the country’s most notorious gangsters, Al capone. our everglades Suite, also known as the “Al Capone Suite” on our 13th floor, was ran by Al capone as a speakeasy for serious gamblers during the prohibition era. on march 7, 1929 gangster Thomas J. “Fatty” Walsh engaged in a game that initiated an argument and took a deadly turn. Walsh was pronounced dead in the suite and locals and hotel guests suspected the mob was involved in the murder. Nonetheless, guests from all over the world including former Presidents such as Theodore Roosevelt and Bill clinton have stayed in the spectacular two story suite filled with rich history and luxurious amenities.

• Fox hunts were among the many sporting events offered in the 1920’s and 1930’s to guests at The Biltmore Hotel. George Merrick, founder of the hotel, and John Mcentee Bowman, his business partner, are credited with introducing the foxes to coral Gables which can still be found in the neighborhood this day!

• In the 1920’s, The Biltmore Hotel was one of the most fashionable resorts in the entire country, hosting royalty of both european and Hollywood variety. The Duke and

Duchess of Windsor, Ginger Rogers, Judy Garland, and Bing crosby were frequent guests. In fact, everyone who was anyone, from politicians like President Franklin D. Roosevelt to notorious gangsters like Al Capone– stayed at The Biltmore, where they enjoyed fashion shows, gala balls, aquatic shows in the 23,000 square foot grand pool, elaborate weddings, tea dances and world-class golf tournaments.

• In the 1930’s The Biltmore Hotel was known as “The World’s Greatest Water Carnival” and the era of grand water shows in coral Gables began. During this time, The Biltmore Pool hosted the “Water Follies” where crowds of people came every Sunday to witness beauty pageants with the most beautiful women of that time, high divers such as Johnny “Tarzan” Weismuller, water ballets and aquacades featuring esther Williams, fire divers, comedy acts, and water polo that made the event one of the most popular in the country!

• In 1925 developer George merrick and John mcentee Bowman implemented Merrick’s dream of “a great hotel…which would not only serve as a hostelry to the crowds thronging to coral Gables, but also would serve as a center of sports and fashion.”At that time, Bowman contracted with renowned developers leonard Schultze and S. Fullerton Weaver who had previously designed the New york Grand central Terminal, The Hotel Sevilla in cuba, and The Biltmore’s of Atlanta and los Angeles. The term “Biltmore” was a name given to all hotels created by Bowman and was used to express a hotel that was grand and glorious. Architect Martin Hampton understood Merrick’s unique vision and featured a central tower closely modeled after the Giralda Tower from the cathedral in Seville, Spain. one short year later, on January 15, 1926 The Biltmore Hotel debuted with a magnificent ceremony and gala that brought over 1,500 guests and was the social event of the year!
