The Coral Collection of Fine Hotels & Resorts
The Coral Collection of Fine Hotels & Resorts is a group of hotels celebrated
for their differences. Each is a unique, cultured gem set perfectly in the
preferred neighborhoods of some of the world's most popular travel destinations.
From hotel to hotel, you will not recognize a Coral Collection "look". Each hotel
is custom-designed, from a restored Art Deco hotel on South Beach to a Mediterranean
oasis in the heart of Old Naples.
What unites the collection, and what is immediately apparent upon entering a Coral
Collection hotel, is the warm, friendly service, the refined, impeccably clean
surroundings, and the professional staff who anticipate guest needs.
The Coral Collection also delivers exceptional value in room rates and packages
without sacrificing any of the amenities.
The Coral Collection management and marketing team ensures that hotels meet
the discriminating taste of contemporary guest. Architectural details are
preserved whenever possible or exact replicas are created. Luxurious touches,
such as Waterworks bath fixtures and Frette Linens, are features in some of the hotels.
Examples of current South Florida hotels: Two Art Deco South Beach hotels,
the oceanfront WinterHaven Hotel and the tucked-away, yet half a block from
the beach Essex House Hotel & Suites. Both are architecturally significant
(WinterHaven by Albert Anis in 1939 and the Essex House by Henry Hohauser in 1938)
and restored with such expertise that the Essex House was awarded the Barbara
Capitman Award and the 1999 Best of South Florida Award from Miami Metro Magazine.
In the heart of Old Naples, on the corner of Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South,
is the Hotel Escalante, a lush and exclusive oasis a block from the beach and just steps
from the exciting and sophisticated nightlife of Fifth Avenue South.
The Chesapeake Resort, in the upper keys, is a cozy oceanfront hideaway with a
sheltered, deep-water lagoon, pool, tennis courts, gardens and comfortable
family villas. It is renowned for its access to world-class deep-sea fishing
and diving, and has hosted many celebrities and politicians, including Paul Newman and President Bush.
And finally, the legendary Langford Hotel in Winter Park, Orlando, a 50-year old
landmark scheduled to reopen in November of 2001, will be restored to the grandeur
of its heyday, when it was a haven for presidents and celebrities.
