Loews Coral Gables Hotel

Loews Coral Gables Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Loews Coral Gables Hotel, you immediately get that feeling of stepping into something special — but not in an intimidating way. The lobby has this warm, sophisticated vibe that feels distinctly Miami without being flashy. I mean, you’re in Coral Gables after all, where everything has that Mediterranean Revival charm, and this four-star property really captures that essence. The staff actually seems to know what they’re doing, which honestly isn’t always a given at hotels these days.

The Perfect Coral Gables Location

You know what really struck me about this place? The location is absolutely spot-on — and apparently couples agree since they rate it 9.5 out of 10. You’re right in the heart of Coral Gables, which means you can walk to some fantastic restaurants and shops along Miracle Mile. The University of Miami is just a few minutes away, and if you want to hit South Beach or downtown Miami, you’re looking at maybe 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. There’s something really nice about staying in Coral Gables though — it feels like you’re experiencing the real Miami, not just the tourist version.

Rooms That Actually Work

The room I stayed in was genuinely comfortable, with that crisp, clean feeling you want after a day exploring the city. The beds are solid (no creaky springs or weird lumps), and the bathrooms are well-designed with good water pressure — details that matter when you’re actually living in the space. What I appreciated most was the attention to lighting; you can actually read without squinting, and there are enough outlets for all your devices. The views vary depending on which side you’re on, but honestly, the neighborhood itself is pretty enough that you’re not going to be disappointed.

Breakfast and Dining

The American breakfast here is actually worth getting up for, which I can’t say about every hotel. They do the classics well — good coffee, fresh fruit, and eggs that aren’t rubbery. The restaurant on-site serves solid food throughout the day, though I’d recommend venturing out for dinner since you’re in such a great neighborhood for dining. There’s something to be said for having a reliable breakfast option right in the hotel though, especially if you’re planning early morning activities or just want to ease into your day.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this hotel just works — and that 9.2 rating reflects that. The parking is private and on-site, which is honestly a huge relief in Miami where parking can be a nightmare. The service feels personal without being overly formal, and the whole place has this relaxed elegance that fits perfectly with the Coral Gables atmosphere. You’re getting quality without pretension, which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to enjoy your time in Miami. It’s the kind of place where everything runs smoothly, so you can focus on exploring this beautiful city instead of dealing with hotel hassles.
