Coral Gables

Just five miles southwest of Miami and home to the University of Miami, Coral Gables has earned its nickname as The City Beautiful. Inspired by the Mediterranean and with the desire to live in a small town but close to the offerings of the city, historic real estate developer George Merrick designed and built Coral Gables in 1925. Today, the city retains all of its charm with tree-lined streets, gorgeous architecture and historic landmarks such as the beautiful Biltmore Hotel and the Venetian Pool. Complete with coral rock formations, waterfalls and caves to explore, the Venetian Pool is the only pool on the National Register of Historic Places and is a must-see when visiting Coral Gables.
