Hotel St. Michel

Hotel St. Michel is a small historic boutique hotel of about 27 rooms at 162 Alcazar Avenue in downtown Coral Gables, Florida. The hotel occupies a building from the 1920s, the era when Coral Gables was developed as a planned Mediterranean Revival city, and its intimate European character sets it apart from the larger chain properties in the area. The location is close to Miracle Mile and Giralda Plaza, with their restaurants, cafes and boutiques within a short walk, and the Hotel Colonnade, the Venetian Pool and the Biltmore Hotel are a few minutes away by car. Miami International Airport is about 15 minutes by car, and Downtown Miami is roughly 20 minutes. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms and Deluxe Rooms, with period features such as antique furnishings, patterned tile and wrought-iron details varying by room, and free Wi-Fi is provided. An on-site restaurant has long been a feature of the hotel, serving French-inspired and continental dishes in a cosy dining room, and it is popular with locals as well as guests, making a stay here a way to enjoy an old-world atmosphere in a compact setting. There is no swimming pool, spa or large fitness facility, so the appeal lies in character, location and personal service rather than resort amenities. The service character is attentive and personal, typical of small boutique properties, and suits couples, history enthusiasts and visitors attending business or events in Coral Gables. Rates typically run about $160-$280 USD per night before taxes and fees. With a 4.4 rating, Hotel St. Michel is a charming choice for visitors seeking a historic, walkable base in Coral Gables.
