The top five photo winners will be announced on Friday, Apr. 29. First Prize — Two-night stay, daily cabana use, and dinner for two at Palme d’Or; Second Prize — Sunday champagne brunch for four guests; Third Prize — Couples massage at the Biltmore Spa; Fourth Prize — Round of golf for four guests at the Biltmore Golf Course, and Fifth Prize — Culinary class for two guests at the Biltmore Culinary Academy.
The Biltmore is a National Historic Landmark located in Coral Gables. The 273-room hotel resembles classic Italian, Moorish, and Spanish architectural influences spread over 150-acres of tropical landscape.
A favorite of world leaders and notables since its opening in 1926, the hotel offers a restored Donald Ross 18-hole, 71 par championship golf course; tennis; the largest hotel pool in the country; private cabanas; a European spa, and an award-winning fitness center.
The hotel’s dining destinations include the acclaimed Palme d’Or, which Zagat calls one of the best restaurants in the country; Fontana, an Italian restaurant surrounding the Biltmore fountain, and the poolside Cascade. In 2009, the hotel unveiled its culinary academy offering an array of hands-on cooking classes for adults and children.
