Coral Gables Gracious Suburb Combines Plazas and Fountains
Coral Gables' enduring charm is a tribute to George E. Merrick's vision of beauty. Merrick developed a
gracious suburb, which combined monumental buildings, ornate plazas and fountains with "villages" of
Coral Gables temporary housing built in Colonial, French, Dutch,
South African and Chinese styles.
Coral Gables temporary housing and Sightseeing
A walking tour will take you past some of the meticulously preserved landmarks that grace Coral Gables.
Coral Gables City Hall, the city's most important publicly owned building, is decorated with interesting
interior murals and a distinctive portico. Not far away, two fountains mark the ornate entrance to the
Country Club of Coral Gables Historic District, typical of this master planned city. Beyond, many charming
houses and Coral Gables temporary housing may be seen along streets with evocative names. The Venetian
Pool, carved out of a spring fed coral rock quarry, is a popular landmark and local attraction. Other Coral
Gables landmarks include the University of Miami, the oldest university in the Greater Miami area dating
back to 1925. The University enhances Coral Gables' cultural amenities with the on-campus Lowe Art Museum,
the Gusman Concert Hall, the Bill Cosford Cinema and the Ring Theater. Nature blooms in a riot of exotic
vegetation at Fairchild Tropical Garden, the largest tropical botanical garden in the continental U.S.
Coral Gables temporary housing and Shopping
Red brick paving, sidewalk cafes and tropical landscaping give character to Miracle Mile, the stretch of
Coral way between LeJeune and Douglas Roads that leads to Coral Gables temporary housing areas. Shoppers
flock to fine boutiques and specialty stores to find the hottest new styles in everything from casual to
couture fashion, bridal gowns and accessories and elegant home furnishings. The Village of Merrick Park
is South Florida's newest luxury retail forum. The Mediterranean style village is set in an attractive
garden setting and is anchored by Neiman Marcus and the first Nordstrom in Miami, along with 115
internationally renowned retailers and a variety of upscale restaurants. The Downtown Coral Gables area
is also noted for fine art galleries, which are a feature of Gables Gallery Night on the first Friday of
each month. The events bring in thousands of people to view the works of local and international artists.
Coral Gables temporary housing and Dining and Night Life
Coral Gables' highly rated dining establishments have put the city on the culinary map for serious
gastronomy in a variety of cuisines including French, Spanish, Brazilian, Floribbean, Cuban and Italian
with a Latin twist. Their elegant ambience and exacting service are taken for granted in a city dedicated
to fine living. Now more casual dining restaurants and sidewalk cafes are attracting younger people to the
Gables' culinary scene.
The Village of Merrick Park features an impressive list of upscale restaurants anchored by Mundo, world
renowned Chef Norman Van Akens' newest venture. The restaurant offers signature Latin-Caribbean cuisine,
with imaginative influences from Asia and the finest markets from around the world.
Never unduly loud, Coral Gables gently winds down after hours as a mellow mood takes over. People redirect
their energy to quieter pursuits, live music in an art café, smooth jazz in a super club or salsa and disco
in a club lounge on weekends.
