Hotel St. Michel

Hotel St. Michel is a small, independent boutique hotel at 162 Alcazar Avenue in Coral Gables, within the greater Miami area. Housed in a building dating to 1926, it combines European-inspired character with an intimate scale: just 28 individually styled rooms, including three suites.

The hotel’s appeal centers on architecture, dining, and a stay rooted in the surrounding city. Zucca, the on-site Italian restaurant, makes dinner close to your room an easy option, while complimentary Wi-Fi and a cardio gym add practical conveniences. Room choices range from queen accommodations to suites, giving you options depending on how much space you want.

What Guests Love

• Historic personality: Multiple reviewers appreciate the hotel’s distinctive decor and preserved character, with updated rooms that retain the appeal of an older building.
• Helpful service: Several guests describe staff as courteous, attentive, and willing to help, adding a personal touch to their stay.

What to Consider

• Elevator assistance: The hotel identifies its elevator as staffed around the clock, a useful detail if you need step-free access and want to confirm arrangements before arrival.
• Beach-day transportation: This is an inland Coral Gables property, so plan transportation for visits to Miami Beach rather than expecting beachfront access.

If you like your hotel to have a sense of history and dinner to be part of the evening’s appeal, St. Michel is worth considering. It feels especially suited to a couple’s getaway or a short city stay where exploring Coral Gables takes priority over spending each day on the sand.
