Hotel OMNI COLONNADE

The decidedly upscale Omni Colonnade stands right on the Miracle Mile in the heart of Coral Gables, within minutes of many Fortune 500 company offices, trendy restaurants, exceptional theatres and Miami's venue for premiere shopping, the Village of Merrick Park. The Omni Colonnade dates back to the early 20th century and incorporates elements of neo classical design, such as a large rotunda, elegant pillars and spectacular marble, particularly on the lobby's grand staircase. For recreation and fitness, a 10th story, 200 foot long, rooftop sundeck fringed by bougainvillea features a 50 by 15 foot heated pool and five person spa tub perfect for social soaking. A fully equipped health club comes furnished with sauna and whirlpool. In addition, guests will find plenty of dining options around the hotel, but the Colonnade's Toscana by Bice is no slouch. Patrons here will savor Tuscan cuisine, including tuna carpaccio, eggplant stuffed with goat cheese and mozzarella, fettucine Alfredo, tagliolini with shrimp and chicken, and veal scaloppine with butter and lemon sauce. For corporate guests, a business center offers two flat screen computers with high speed Internet connections, a full range of business services, and boardroom, conference room and day office. The hotel's 157 guestrooms are located on the top four floors of a 15 story retail and office building. Shops and restaurants are located on the ground floor under the second floor lobby. The rooms feature separate bedrooms and sitting rooms with their own TVs. Sitting rooms contain green marble bars. The rooms also include fresh flowers, bathrooms, work desks, and hand colored photographs and drawings from the early days of Coral Gables. Rated four diamonds by the American Automobile Association, the Omni Colonnade and its exceptional location close to corporations and many entertainment venues make the place the perfect choice for leisure and business travelers to the Sunshine State. &nbsp
