Check Out TEN Historic Florida Hotels

By Gary McKechnie

Sure Florida has a lot of cookie cutter construction, but we also have a wonderful range of historic hotels (stroll along Ocean Drive in South Beach and you’ll see what I mean).

Not every one of these is “off the beaten path” (in fact, few of them are), but those below are living examples of Florida style and class.

• The Biltmore (Coral Gables)

• Colony Hotel (Delray Beach)

• The Breakers (Palm Beach)

• Gasparilla Inn (Boca Grande)

• Casa Monica (St. Augustine)

• Don CeSar (St. Pete Beach)

• Fontainebleau (Miami Beach)

• Eden Roc (Miami Beach) 

• Renaissance Vinoy (St. Pete)

• Wakulla Lodge (Wakulla Springs)
