The Biltmore Hotel was designed by renowned architect Leonard Schultze and S. Fullerton Weaver\, who also designed the Atlanta & Los Angeles Biltmores\, New York’s Grand Central Terminal\, Miami Beach’s Nautilus Hotel\, and the Miami Daily News Tower (Freedom Tower). \nThe design is Mediterranean Revival based predominantly on Spanish style with Moorish and Italian accents\, and in keeping with traditional European grand hotels\, Old World charm permeates the property and is consistent with the architectural style of the affluent homes of Coral Gables. Throughout the property there are colonnades\, hand-painted ceiling beams\, open air courtyards\, fountains\, balconies\, balustrades\, decorative tile\, and terrazzo floors. Modeled after the Moorish style Giralda Tower in Seville\, the Biltmore was one of the most fashionable resorts in the entire country in its heyday. It boasted a 400-room hotel\, country club\, championship golf course\, polo fields\, tennis courts\, and an enormous 150 by 225 foot swimming pool where 3\,000 spectators came to watch synchronized swimmers\, alligator wrestlers and high diving competitions on Sundays. During 1942-1968\, the War Department converted the Biltmore to a hospital for Army Air Forces and Veterans. In 1973\, following intense lobbying\, the City of Coral Gables was granted ownership of the hotel through the Historic Monuments Act and Legacy of Parks Program. In 1983\, the City initiated a full restoration of the Biltmore to its former glory as a grand hotel. The Biltmore was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1996 and today now operates as a 273-room hotel and resort. \nHere’s how it works: \n\nSelect an image or visit the location if possible for a Plein Air sketch\nUsing any medium you like\, sketch or paint one or more images/views.\nSnap a photo of your illustration and post it to your Instagram account or email to director@flclassicist.org with the following tags BY MONDAY AUGUST 31 at midnight:\n\n@icaaflorida #floridasummersketchtour #icaaflorida \nWe’ll be searching for those tags and may feature your #floridasummersketchtour image on our Instagram page on Tuesday! \nEnds MONDAY\, August 31st at midnight.\n  \nREFERENCE IMAGES  \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Donate to ICAA Florida Chapter \n Donate \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Suggested Donation to Chapter \n Donate \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Donate to ICAA Florida Chapter \n Donate \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n $ Donation Amount:\n \n \n \n $50.00$100.00$250.00$500.00$1\,000.00$5\,000.00$10\,000.00Custom Amount \n \n Plus an additional to cover gateway fees.\n \n \n \n Select Payment Method \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Credit Card\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Personal Info \n\n \n \n Title \n \n Mr.\n Mrs.\n Ms.\n \n \n \n \n \n First Name *\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Last Name *\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Company Name *\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Email Address *\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n Make this an anonymous donation. \n \n \n \n \n \n Comment \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n Credit Card Info\n \n \n \n This is a secure SSL encrypted payment. \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Donation Total: \n \n $50.00 \n \n {amount} donation plus {fee_amount} to help cover fees. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Donate Now\n \n \n\n \nTake a look at the latest IG Summer Sketch entries\n#floridasummersketchtour \n \n This error message is only visible to WordPress admins\n Error: No connected account.\n Please go to the Instagram Feed settings page to connect an account.
