Mediterranean meets Miami in Coral Gables, an affluent suburb 15 minutes from the high rises and Cubano-clad restaurants of Vice City. Residents and visitors describe it as a peaceful, laid-back, and charming\u2014aka, an ideal place for our latest Saatva Viewing Room<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just over a century old, the city was artfully planned by developer George Merrick, resulting in wide, tree-lined streets named after towns in Spain and Italy (psst, our Viewing Room is located on San Lorenzo Avenue).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stroll along these lush avenues and admire the terracotta-roofed Mediterranean Revival architecture, flowing fountains, Miracle Mile’s stylish restaurants and shops, and the iconic Biltmore Hotel. Here are some of our favorite things to do in and around the heart of Coral Gables, Fla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
