Hyatt Regency Coral Gables

My room was not even as nice as a Hampton Inn, but twice the price. Sad, tiny Holliday Inn-​style tub. Very poor lighting. No attractive bed coverings-​just a sheet over the comforter. TV had no working Guide. All in all, a negative experience for a hotel of this rank.

A very elegant hotel in a great location. The décor is based on the Alhambra in Spain and is very classy. The staff is excellent. I really enjoyed the breakfast and recommend the Gables omelette and Breakfast Cuban sandwich. This is not a loud, flashy party hotel like those on South Beach. This is a sophisticated place.

Our experience here was mixed.
Rooms: We had to switch rooms a twice before getting a good one, We had booked a room with a balcony to enjoy the night air, but both balcony rooms we tried had weird smells, the first room clearly had a smoke smell. I guess we should have known that balcony rooms would attract smokers. The room we ended up in still seemed a bit musty. I think this must just be an older building and facility. The front desk was excellent in accommodating our need for changes though.
Infused water in the lobby with cookies at check-​in. Rooms themselves were clean with comfortable beds.
Breakfast: Two Sisters Restaurant is inside the Hyatt and was an excellent breakfast experience! We both had the breakfast frittata (egg white, spinach, and mozzarella) with tomato/​avocado on the side. The dish was perfect, just the right amount of food for a healthy and filling breakfast to get the day started.

I stayed here (again) the 18^th through the 27^th of October, and wanted to write an update to say this hotel is still the only place I’d stay, or recommend others stay, when in Miami. It is simply the best.
The staff are fantastic, I wish I could remember all the names — everyone is polite, friendly and helpful. One special mention for Andrei who, just like last time, was absolutely on top of everything I wanted. If you need a hand with something (I wanted some free weights in my room along with some diet Pepsi and extra water — they were there when I arrived) he’s the perfect person to talk to.
Read my first review for more detailed information, but if you’re here trying to figure out if this is a good place to stay — it is. It’s the BEST place to stay and the only place I ever want to book when in the area. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful and clean. Loved being on the 5^th floor with the pool and hot tub. Very comfortable mattress and helpful staff. Didn’t love being near the ice machine with someone filling a cooler at 7am… SOOO LOOOUD. Also didn’t love that the bathroom didn’t have a vent/​fan. Positive experience. Would return.

After staying at this hotel for a whole week, I can honestly say I had zero complaints. The staff was always, always very friendly and helpful. We changed reservations on them a few times and they were always very accommodating. Even ate at their restaurant for breakfast and they gave me free refills of fresh squeezed OJ… which NEVER happens!
Free wi-​fi, too. And it works really great, although you’ve got pay if you want wi-​fi that streams video and stuff. But for simple web-​surfing, e-​mails and such, it works great. You can also request a bunch of other stuff for free. I got a show horn, some deodorant, slippers, a razor, and some other stuff on their list.
I guess the only complaint I have, and I am being reaaaally picky here, is that the bathroom ventilation makes this terrible screeching noise every time you turn the bathroom light on. But it lasts for like 3 seconds and then it turns off. I wouldn’t typically mention stuff like but I’m giving such a glowing review I’ve got to complain about something!
Back to glowing. Coral Gables is a lovely place to visit. So, so many options for restaurants in the area. Graziano’s Market, Divino Ceviche, Francesco, Small Tea, all delicious. Just a block away from Miracle Mile if you want to go shopping. My personal favorite is Books & Books — Miami’s flagship bookstore that has a restaurant in the courtyard. All of this is within walking distance of the hotel.

Loved this hotel. Room service desserts to die for especially the bread pudding. Breakfast at Two Sisters Restaurant was amazing. We had the Cuban Style Eggs Benedict and the orange zest French toast… So good!

This place treats wedding vendors like dogs. Been working for 10 hours and was served a hard stale sandwich with cold disgusting fries as a vendor meal. Good job Hyatt catering. You guys are champs. I will not be recommending this place to anybody any time soon.

Lovely place to stay, but normally breakfast is not included. We booked via
, with breakfast. Before you have a breakfast, just make sure for what amount you could have a breakfast.
Rooms are nice and clean. Swimming pool was medium, too less towels and a bit small for all the guests.
Near this place is a lovely coffee spot, Pasión del Cielo Coffee. You have to go there!

Have to say the staff made the stay totally enjoyable. The facilities were great, tried the restaurant and the bar, again, totally friend staff, great friendly service. Room was neat, cleaned every day, quiet, walk to great restaurants, night life, etc. all in all just a great stay at a very nice facility. Thanks again to all the staff, they were by far the best hotel I have dealt with in a long time and I travel quite a bit.

Came here for work — nice location close to Miracle Street with lots of restaurants and stores. Nice lobby and pool. The room was comfortable but the windows did not open for fresh air to enter.

Hyatt Coral Gables was most definitely an interesting hotel. I think there were definitely more pros than cons but I have to admit giving these 4 stars almost didn’t happen! Before arriving I called into the hotel to ask if there were any hotel rooms available for early check in and was told they were previously all sold out and that the rooms they had available were below what they would normally put a diamond me member in. Now because I like to enjoy all my perks of being a diamond member I waited about two hours past to normal check in time to guarantee I get a really good room! Upon arriving I was impressed with the great service of the doorman! The Mediterranean décor had to grow on me but it was cute. I was checked in by a nice young lady (Laura?) that did a great job of explaining the hotel and what it offers. One of the bummers is that they don’t have a Hyatt regency club lounge :-(I completely didn’t pay attention to that detail prior to booking or else I probably wouldn’t have stayed. Nonetheless we got to eat breakfast downstairs every morning so I guess that was okay. My room was on the highest floor facing the pool and it was also pretty cool! The gym is nice as well as the pool! The self parking is in this creepy garage with an extremely low ceiling! Overall the stay was good only thing that was upsetting is that they forgot to credit me my 1,000 points and I had to take time out to call and have it researched as to why it failed to be posted. Lastly I would like to recognize ZACH and Andrew for their excellent customer service!

Great service at the restaurant and pool bar. They comp wifi for gold members. They have totally decent shampoo/​conditioner/​body lotion/​hairdryer which doesn’t seem like much but it’s the first time I haven’t had to buy my own on vacation in a long time.

It is a decent hotel and close to the airport. Rooms were fine, nothing special. The main problem was that they checked someone else into my room. Before I got there. When I walked into the room, there was someone else’s stuff. And the front desk didn’t know who it was. They fixed it pretty quickly and it was fine. There is a supermarket within a 15 minute walk if you want to purchase water, snacks, etc. and there is a small fridge in the room.

Pretty nice place. They’ve been able to handle our conference needs pretty well. Room service is good. Quality and speed. A lot of great restaurants near by to help…

What a place! It is located near downtown of Miami. Beautiful hotel with great service! However, we were disappointed with our room. It smells. Seriously, everything look very old and it smell. And at the beginning our room was on 5^th floor– looking on swimming pool– were anyone can look into our room– no curtains!
But thanks to excellent service, we got another room in seconds on 10^th floor. And this room is stinky.
We already stayed in the same hotel couple of years back on one of the highest floors– I think that room was brand new!
People who work for hotel are very nice and very helpful!

We had the pleasure of staying at the Hyatt Regency in Coral Gables during a 3-​day conference that was also held in one of the meeting rooms at the hotel. The hotel staff were fantastic — from the friendly doormen at the entrance to the catered lunches during the conference — everyone offered 5-​star hospitality during our stay.
Unfortunately, there was a little «mishap» with our room not being cleaned properly before we checked into our room, but once we informed the front desk staff they more than made up for the inconvenience and made the situation right. The front desk had our room cleaned right away and we returned later that afternoon to a hand written note from the management expressing their desire to make our stay enjoyable along with a bottle of wine, cheese plate, and little chocolates on our pillows. Seriously, I would have been happy with just a clean room and a nice note — but I must say, enjoying the wine and cheese poolside was quite fun after a day of serious conferencing! Also, the Astor raspberry milk chocolate with chamomile extract «to promote relaxation» was heavenly!
The hotel is walking distance to Miracle Mile — fabulous restaurants you MUST check out — and to the free trolley that can take you to Calle Ocho! Such a fun neighborhood with many places playing live music in the evenings. I can’t wait to return to try all the nearby restaurants that I bookmarked on Unilocal ;)

I’ve stayed in a few Hyatts lately and I’m really starting to like them. This one in particular got me to sit up and take notice.
The building is awesome and matches the Miami/​Coral Gables aesthetic perfectly. The lobby is beautiful, with plenty of lovely architectural details to notice and lots of seating. The pool on the 5^th floor is outdoor and awesome. Nice and big, warm, with tons of lounge seats around and a poolside bar open during the day. A hot tub is just a few steps up from the pool and there’s also a sauna available (although I didn’t take advantage of the hot tub or sauna this trip). There’s also a 24 hour fitness room which I took advantage of. It’s small but there are a handful of elliptical machines, treadmills, and weight machines, along with free weights, kettle balls, and other workout accessories. The machines are a bit fancy too as they each have their own tv screens so you can watch independently. They have headphones to borrow if you need them and cold, wet washcloths in a fridge for a delightful cool down.
My room was on the pool level and was on a corner so it was nice and big, with a fluffy king sized bed, a huge flat screen TV and a spacious closet and bathroom. Plus a small fridge which was nice to store a few snacks and leftovers.
Staff was very nice and the food from room service was pretty good too. I had lunch and dinner and both were pretty good. The real standouts were
Also, the price was super right at under $ 150 a night. For the quality I would have expected to pay more although I’m not complaining!

I probably spent all of 6 hours in this room — but man was it a great stay.
After a very long day of work, I crashed here as to not have to make the trek back to BPB. First, I had a delicious McDonald’s meal with my co-​workers in the lobby. Yep, we commandeered one of their fancy tables in the bar area and went to work on some Chicken Nuggets and Quarter Pounders (don’t forget THAT Coke — sidebar: is it just me or does McDonalds have THE BEST Coke? Maybe it’s the straw and how much coke you get at once, or maybe it’s a different recipe… but man I was regretting not Super Sizing that thang’). As cheesy as it is to say — this is one of my favorite memories with my co-​workers and working for such a fun company, you can imagine the hijinks that ensue… but this was a moment to look back on what we had just accomplished (a massive event) and fill the tank for some sweet dreams.
The lobby is super nice, and as I mentioned has a nice bar area with various table tops. The folks at the front desk are EXTREMELY nice. Like, is this really Miami, nice. As I was waiting the next morning to check out — eyes still almost closed — she took a second to acknowledge me and let me know someone would be right with me. They did that for everyone — and smiled all the way through. How are you so nice in the AM? I don’t know, but it made me start my day on the right foot!
The room was pretty large and I opted for a King bed. Now, this might be because of how tired I was — but the bed felt like I was on a cloud. It wrapped me in it’s warm, fluffy arms and rocked me to sleep within minutes. The AC wasn’t cooling as well as I’d like. I had it in the high 60’s and it wasn’t freezing in there… I woke up to lower it a few degrees — and don’t think it made much of a diff. I like really cold rooms when I sleep though.
There is self parking or valet. I self parked in the garage (get to it from the backside of the hotel) — it was $ 25 for the night. A bit pricey, but what you would expect to pay to park at a hotel. WiFi is also at a charge — but I didn’t get it.

On my recent trip to Miami I didn’t step foot on South Beach… and it was heavenly. No offense to my fellow South Beach lovers, but I think Coral Gables is more my scene. And if you feel the same way you’ll feel right at home at the Hyatt Regency Coral Gables.
I spent about 12 hours at this Hyatt Regency and it wasn’t nearly enough time. It wasn’t enough time to enjoy the beautiful suite they upgraded me to when I first arrived. Spacious, beautifully decorated, comfortable, etc. It wasn’t enough time to take a dip in the inviting pool on this hot July day. And it wasn’t enough time to enjoy many of the fabulous restaurants and bars within walking distance.
In my short time there I did find time to hit up the gym, which had all the equipment one would need for a good cardio and weight workout.
I was impressed with what I got for around $ 200/​night (less impressed with the $ 27/​night valet cost). Then again July isn’t the best time to visit South Florida so I’d imagine the price goes up a bit (or a lot) during season.
