The Mediterranean and Moorish style Hyatt Regency, modeled after the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain, stands just four miles from Miami International Airport in the heart of Coral Gables. Miami's financial district and trendy South Beach are close to the Hyatt Regency, which also is two blocks from the Miracle Mile shopping, dining and entertainment mecca. The four block district includes more than 40 eateries, four theaters, art galleries and more than 170 shops. Golfers, get a load of this: the Doral Golf Resort & Spa and its five championship PGA courses are just 12 mile away.

Guests sense the hotel's refinement when they first enter the two story marble lobby brightened by antique candle chandeliers, lush Florida plants, arched hallways, stone and tile stairs, antiques and Mediterranean style windows. For elegant dining, guests can enjoy seafood, steaks and soups at the hotel's Two Sisters Restaurant, which also features made to order omelets, stir fry pasta, carving stations and desserts for its locally known Sunday brunch. On Wednesday and Saturday nights, a lively crowd of locals and guests gathers at the hotel's Alcazaba nightclub, while the less party hardy relax in the lobby bar. The recreationally inclined will find the outdoor pool and fitness center conveniently located on the fifth floor. For business travelers, the Hyatt's meeting facilities include 13,700 square feet of space with state of the art equipment and a top notch business center that provides all necessary equipment.

With light and airy décor and soft beige walls, Hyatt Regency guestrooms offer wireless Internet access, coffeemakers, complimentary java, custom bath amenities, safes, bathrobes and mini bars.

As with most Hyatt Regency hotels across the country, this version in Coral Gables offers leisure and business travelers the ambience, amenities and location close to everything so their stays in the Miami area become the things of memories.
