Fodor's Expert Review Hyatt Regency Coral Gables

Within walking distance to the shops and businesses of Miami’s most prestigious suburb and just 4 miles from Miami International Airport, the 250-room, Moorish-inspired Hyatt Regency Coral Gables mingles European charm with functionality. Spread over three buildings, the hotel includes 50 balconied suites that overlook the fifth-floor swimming pool. 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. In terms of interiors, nondescript yet comfortable rooms cater to the hotel's principal clients—business travelers. On most given days, the lobby buzzes with a scene of Miami's Latin power players.
