Fodor's Expert Review Hyatt Regency Coral Gables
50 Alhambra Plaza, Miami, Florida, 33134, USA
Within walking distance to the shops and businesses of Miami’s most prestigious suburb and just 4 miles from Miami International Airport, this Moorish-inspired property mingles European charm with functionality. In the common areas and throughout the exteriors, lofty pillars, arched columns, charming courtyards, high ceilings, and antique art play into the hotel’s Alhambra inspiration. Spread over three buildings, the hotel includes 80 balconied suites that overlook the fifth-floor swimming pool. Nondescript yet comfortable rooms cater to the hotel's principal clients—business travelers. Each houses a signature Hyatt Grand Bed, dark-wood furniture with dedicated work space, and pool or city views. On most days, the lobby buzzes with a scene of Miami's Latin power players.
