The decidedly upscale Omni Colonnade stands right on the "Miracle Mile" in the heart of Coral Gables, Fla., within minutes of many Fortune 500 company offices, trendy restaurants, exceptional theatres and Miami's venue for premiere shopping, the Village of Merrick Park. The Omni Colonnade dates back to the early 20th century and incorporates elements of neo-classical design, such as a large rotunda, elegant pillars and spectacular marble, particularly on the lobby's grand staircase. For recreation and fitness, a 10th- story, 200-foot-long, rooftop sundeck fringed by bougainvillea features a 50-by-15-foot heated pool and large spa tub, perfect for social relaxation. A fully- equipped health club comes furnished with sauna and whirlpool. In addition, guests will find plenty of dining options around the hotel, or dine at the Colonnade's Toscana by Bice where guests savor Tuscan cuisine, including tuna carpaccio, eggplant stuffed with goat cheese and mozzarella, fettuccini Alfredo, tagliolini with shrimp and chicken, veal scaloppine with butter and lemon sauce. A spacious business center offers two flat-screen computers with high-speed Internet connections, a full range of business services, and boardroom, conference room and day office. The hotel's 157 guestrooms are located on the top four floors of a 15- story retail and office building. Shops and restaurants are located on the ground floor under the second-floor lobby. The extra-spacious guestrooms feature separate bedrooms and sitting rooms with their own TVs. Sitting rooms contain mahogony furniture and or accents and have fresh flowers, work desks, and hand-colored photographs and drawings from the early days of Coral Gables. En suite bathrooms feature marble accents, and every guestroom offers complimentary wireless Internet access.
