Why visit Miami now?
Miami, like many U.S. destinations striving to recover from the economic meltdown, is throwing open its doors and offering specials, discounts, two-for-one packages and festivals all designed to encourage tourism. Add to that the usual off-season summer pricing, remember that our Canadian dollar is stronger than it has been in years and it’s easy to see why Miami is a hot destination this summer! If you go: It’s great to give yourself a bit of contrast on a trip, so why not divide your trip and book into two hotels? Spend the first half of your holiday winding down at the Biltimore Hotel (www.biltmorehotel.com), a stately property recognized as a National Historical Landmark in Miami’s Coral Gables area that oozes old Floridian charm. Its 273 room are beautifully appointed, the pool is huge and quiet and the food is to die for. The Palme d’Or Restaurant was recently named one of the best in the U.S. by the prestigious Zagat Survey. While you’re there, be sure to grab your bathing suit
