Tucked between Miami’s urban core and Biscayne Bay, Coral Gables is a place whose character is shaped by subtropical greenery and a network of canals. The city was planned in the 1920s by developer George Merrick, whose Mediterranean Revival vision remains evident in its streets and landmark buildings. The Biltmore Hotel, opened in 1926, is among the best-known examples, while the Venetian Pool occupies a former coral-rock quarry. The Gables Waterway leads toward Biscayne Bay, and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden adds major living-plant collections on the city’s southern edge.
