Coral Gables
Coral Ga
bles’ unique past is evident today, not only in the preservation of its architecture and landmarks, but in the spirit of its residents and the philosophy that guides its government.
George Merrick drew from the Garden City and City Beautiful movements of the 19th and early 20th century to create in 1925 one of the nation’s first fully-planned communities. Incorporating secluded residential enclaves and commercial areas inspired by the architectural style of the Mediterranean, Merrick envisioned a City that would offer every amenity to its residents and at the same time would become a center for international business. In every respect, Merrick’s dream has come true.
Today, Coral Gables boasts one of only three National Landmarks in Miami-Dade County: The Biltmore Hotel, designated in 1996. There are also nine properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including Coral Gables Merrick House, Venetian Pool and Coral Gables City Hall, as well as over 1300 locally designated properties.
In the past three decades, the City has experienced healthy growth, which has bolstered the economic base. Today, Coral Gables is home to approximately 155 multinationals and 26 consulates and trade offices. It is also known as the Fine Dining Capital of South Florida and has the highest concentration of live theater in Miami-Dade County. Growth in the commercial sector has brought a wealth of new activities for residents, including nighttime entertainment, live music, casual and fine dining, and new retail options. It has also helped maintain low property taxes. At the same time, the residential areas have remained protected from commercial intrusion.

City of Doral
Hop on the free trolley and it’s a cinch to explore all of Doral. Near MIA, hotels, and two outstanding shopping malls, Doral is very popular among Latin Americans. In particular, Venezuelans love local restaurant El Arepazo. However, if you ask Ignacio, a longtime local teacher, musician, and boot camp leader, he’ll direct you to his favorite haunt – Shorty’s BBQ. Of course, if you’re ready for some top-tier luxury with a side of humility, he’ll point you to Trump National Doral Miami, home to an annual PGA event, as well as six golf courses, including the aptly named Blue Monster.
