Built in 1926, the Biltmore Hotel is an icon of the Jazz age. It was built as part of the Biltmore Hotel chain, but by 1996, its rich history had set it apart as a landmark all its own. In 1996, it was designated a National Landmark for the role it played as both a hospital during WWII (the Army Air Forces Regional Hospital) and as part of the University of Miami medical school in 1968. It was restored to its hotel hospitality role in 1987. In addition to being known for its iconic and luxurious architectural style, it is famous for hosting such notable guests as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Al Capone, Bing Crosby, and Ginger Rodgers.
Style is everything. With its iconic columns and uniquely Moorish style, finding a photographer who is capable of properly capturing the unique aesthetic of the Biltmore Hotel is key to capturing the best Miami wedding photos possible.
Since it offers both indoor and outdoor accommodations, the Biltmore Hotel is great year-round, from summer through spring—but summer might suit the Mediterranean style of the venue best.
Sunrise or sunset can make a unique backdrop to Miami wedding photos under the Biltmore’s idyllic Mediterranean columns, but the venue also offers a unique opportunity for a wedding under the stars.
