Miami Luxury Hotels
In the world of Miami luxury hotels, there are many candidates for luxury experiences here in Miami and South Florida. Some may consider the Breakers a luxury hotel for Miami when in fact it is in Palm Beach, many miles up the coast, yet close enough to get into the crowded luxury hotel hotels in Miami group.
What sets Biltmore apart from Miami luxury hotels group is its classical elegance, its 150 tropical acres and its staffing ration of 550 staff to 275 guest rooms. Our guests go on luxury cruises that do not have such a “luxury ratio”.
Luxury Resorts Miami
Luxury resorts in Miami are now many. Back when the Biltmore was conceived and built in 1926, it was the only one. Times changed only at the turn of the century; now most travelers to Miami would look upon a luxry resort as being only on Miami Beach or perhaps a luxury boutique resort on South Beach in Miami – few might look inland to a 150 acre enclave of peace, tropical landscape, Latin heat, and a lagoon size pool with palms rustling. This is the “different”, the original Miami luxury resort – Biltmore.
Leading Hotels Miami
Looking at the Leading hotels in Miami – the hotels that are called the Miami “Leading Hotels of the World”, there are six choices of this luxury brand. The one that has the best value is Biltmore Miami – Leading Hotels. With the 550 staff caring for our guests in just 275 rooms, the legendary lagoon pool, the legendary Donald Ross Golf Course with canals running through it, and the # 1 Zagat rated Restaurant for all South Florida. These facts combine with exceptional value rates at the Biltmore for Miami Leading Hotels.
South Florida Leading Hotels of the World – world class hotels
Leading hotels in South Florida are limited to five luxury hotels. Just five in the entire brand and that constitutes many of the Leading Hotels of the World in the United States. Reflecting the passion and vitality of one of America’s most exciting areas- South Florida, the legendary Biltmore Hotel in Miami has been a favorite of world leaders, celebrities, and sports stars since its opening in the 1920s. At that time it was the choice South Florida Leading Hotel of the world.
It is today. It created value luxury hotel experiences for South Florida then; it does today.
Miami Leading Resorts – from the Leading Hotels
In the offering of Miami Leading Resorts, the Biltmore brings much more than exceptional accommodations; it brings championship golf on its legendary Donald Ross classic, historic golf course, Golf Camp for Kids, Culinary Camp for Kids, Cooking Classes, Tennis lessons & classes. Layering cosmopolitan dining, a luxury spa and premier conference facilities, all while exceeding our refined guests’ expectations. Perhaps this is why we’ve remained Miami’s only four-star, four-diamond hotel for six consecutive years – a Leading Resort in Miami.
Leading Resorts South Florida
In the 1920s, the leading resorts of South Florida included the Breakers and the Biltmore. the Breakers was built as a formal, classical structure. It might just as well have been in New York City as South Florida. Yes, it has a golf course, tennis courts, but it still has the staid look of a colonnaded neo-classical hotel that could have been built for a city rather that the tropics. On the other hand, the luxury resort chain – the Biltmores, thought in terms of exuberant, warm architecture with umber colors and surprising accents – the “Mediterranean” style. That is how the Biltmore was built – as one of the South Florida Leading Resorts of the World.
World Class Historic Hotels - Florida Luxury National Historic Monument Hotel Miami
There are two world class hotels in Florida – the Biltmore and the Breakers. Yes, there are also new, shiny big box hotels on Miami Beach, yet none of them are historic hotels, let alone luxury. Our historic Miami hotel dates from 1926. We may be 85 year old, yet our programming is more than up-to-date with Yoga, Zumba, Military Fitness Training, Personal Trainers, Pool aerobics, even a legendary Physical Rehab department. It is this that makes the Biltmore Miami one of the world class historic hotels – here in South Florida.
Florida Historic World Class Resorts – National Historic Monument Hotel in Florida
Searching for Historic World Class Resorts that may be in Florida or the East Coast of the USA, our resort offers a classic 1926 National Historic Monument with $110 million of detailed preservation and upgrades for the luxury traveler of the present rather than the expectations of 1926. We have 150 acres of lush and tropical landscapes, which include the Biltmore Golf Course, 18 holes designed by Donald Ross, 10 tennis courts, and the world class lagoon sized pool with private cabana suites. It is this which make ours one of the Historic World Class resorts.

Miami Airport Luxury Hotels
Is a Miami luxury airport hotel an oxymoron? We think not as our guests can travel to us from the airport in 12 minutes door to door. How many “airport” hotels are many miles distant, many dollars distant? Many. While we are nearby the airport, we sit on 150 acres of a peaceful, whisper quiet enclave. No bustle here at our luxury hotel for the Miami airport.
The proximity to the airport may be twelve minutes and the quality of the experience may be that of a luxury resort in Miami, yet we still have the anomaly of the concept of how can there be a Miami airport luxury resort? The answer is below.

Now there are a clutch of branded luxury hotels, yet the Biltmore remains one of Miami luxury hotels – Four Star, Four Diamond.
Five Star Resorts Miami
In counting resorts in Miami that are Five Star, we come to four in total; many are luxury boutiques rather than fully scripted and equipped resorts like the Biltmore. And although we at the Biltmore are nit rated five stars, we are almost there and at a value rate compared with the others. Its is that bargain value five star Miami rate that gives us such comparable value luxury Miami resort: our spa is five star, our Culinary Academy is five star, our signature restaurant Palme d’Or is five star, our golf is five star.
