It’s been a while but I’m going back to The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Miami this summer and I can’t wait!

I have swam in many a hotel pool, but the best ever pool so far for me has to be at the BIltmore, I’m sure my photos do not do it justice. I believe it is one of the largest hotel pools in America but whatever the size it’s always remained a favourite for me.

On the morning The Grey Traveller left I watched a group of mature ladies enjoy a water aerobics class and it took me right back to The Golden Girls – I hope I get to see them again!

Of course it isn’t just the pool which makes this a first class hotel, the rooms are classy, the entrance, grounds and foyer are elegant and just the neighbourhood being called Coral Gables conjures up a storybook backdrop.

We met an elderly gent there who told us he didn’t like the UK but then when he was last there it was during the Second World War, I guess the place has changed somewhat! So Biltmore I’m coming back and you had better wait for me!
