When it comes to afternoon tea, you may or may not know that I take my tea very seriously. When I travel, instead of magnets I collect afternoon tea experiences. For example, you can read about my afternoon tea experience in Paris here. For my trip to Florida, I knew I had to find the best afternoon tea in Miami. Spoiler alert: the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables wins the award. Not only because of the great tea, but also the good service and the fact that the hotel is incredibly instagrammable.
About the Biltmore Hotel
The hotel opened in 1926 and features heavy Mediterranean influence. It is very much an Italian meets Spanish meets Portuguese style. It is considered a national historic landmark and one of Miami’s most luxurious hotels. Staying at the hotel a little out of your budget? Visit for lunch or afternoon tea like me!
