Bottom Line

Built in 1926, this 28-room B&B-style property in upscale Coral Gables -- about a 25-minute drive from the beach -- is a unique departure from the sleek minimalist hotels found just about everywhere else in Miami. Rooms are a bit worn, however, and features are scarce (no pool and no gym). Vivaldino restaurant, serving Peruvian cuisine, opened in 2012 and a second restaurant, Portofino, is in the works as well.

Location

Surrounded by office buildings and parking garages in Coral Gables, about a five-minute walk to the restaurants and shops along the Miracle Mile

Although the streets are palmlined and clean, they are not quite as exciting as the streets that surround the Westin or Hyatt. There are, however, a few eateries sprinkled about and -- more apropos to Coral Gables' charm -- a trolley stop nearby.Though off the beach, Coral Gables offers a well-manicured, beautiful relief from downtown Miami's corporate towers, but it's still within 20 minutes of Miami International Airport and the Port of Miami. Developed in the 1920s to emulate the beauty of the Mediterranean, Coral Gables is perhaps best known for its immaculately landscaped gardens in the historic Vizcaya Museum and the famous Venetian Pool. This mostly residential area is also home to the University of Miami and many multimillion-dollar homes.- 10-minute drive to Miami International Airport

35-minute drive to Fort Lauderdale International Airport
15-minute drive to the Port of Miami
15-minute drive to Parrot Jungle Island and the Miami Children's Museum
10-minute drive to the Vizcaya Museum

25-minute taxi to the beach at South Beach

Rooms

Styled in the spirit of the hotel's first year, 1926, these classic, B&B-style guest rooms are a huge departure from the sleek minimalist looks found everywhere else in Miami.

Standard rooms start at about 225 square feet, small, but still a comfortable size for Miami; each has either one king-, one queen-, or two full-size beds
The Junior Suite (375 square feet) has either one king or two full-size beds, plust a small sitting area or a large, roll-top desk
Small, 27-inch flat-screen TVs -- a bit of a departure from the classic look
Bathrooms are a bit worn and lack counter space; some don't have mirrors.
No coffeemaker
No smoking rooms
Free Wi-Fi

All-Inclusive / Food

A Peruvian restaurant opened in 2012, and an Italian eatery is in the works.

Vivaldino serves Peruvian fare, such as ceviche and lomo rufino, for dinner. The restaurant has two other locations in Peru, and this is its first venture in the US. Since it opened in late 2012, it has garnered solid reviews and attracts a lively crowd.A second restaurant, Portofino, is in the works. It will serve Italian fare.
