Sitting at the crossroads of the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America, Miami seduces visitors from around the world with its balmy climate, endless beaches, unique architecture and delectable eateries. South Beach is famous for its glimmering beaches and shimmering Art Deco restaurants, hotels and galleries that glow both day and night. The bohemian melds with the chic in Coconut Grove, a historic community with wonderful marinas, sidewalk cafes and art galleries. The nearby Coral Gables exudes sophistication and elegance with its signature Mediterranean Revival architecture and the classy lifestyle of its residence, epitomized by the Biltmore Hotel.
