CORAL GABLES, Fla., Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Loews Hotels & Co, a wholly owned subsidiary of Loews Corporation (NYSE: L ), today opens the Loews Coral Gables Hotel. The hotel is bringing a new level of hospitality just four blocks from the Gables' iconic Miracle Mile.
Loews Coral Gables boasts 242 guestrooms, including 21 stylish suites featuring a sophisticated, modern design, luxe amenities, spa, fitness center, pool and four restaurants and lounges. Additionally, 30,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor meeting space includes a 9,000 square foot ballroom – the largest in the city – and a 9th floor event deck with spectacular views of downtown Coral Gables, appropriately known as The City Beautiful.
