Hotel St. Michel - Coral Gables

Historic boutique hotel with a 1926 manually operated elevator in Coral Gables

Historic Character & Antique Elevator

Hotel St. Michel preserves its original manually operated elevator from 1926, which requires an attendant to operate. This antique elevator is one of the oldest working models in the city and adds a distinctive experience to every stay. Guests traveling to their rooms can ride this elevator or use the staircase as an alternative.

Dining at Zucca Ristorante

The on-site Zucca Ristorante focuses on artisan Italian cuisine prepared with local ingredients and is open daily for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is housed on the ground floor of the hotel and has received praise from guests for its food quality. A mandatory 18% gratuity is applied to wine purchases, with a glass costing around $23.

Rooms & Accommodations

Each guest room at Hotel St. Michel has a unique layout, meaning no two stays are exactly the same. Rooms include a flat-screen cable TV, a work desk, and a private bathroom with marble finishes and walk-in showers. Some rooms feature vintage casement windows that open to views of the city streets.
