The iconic hotels that tell Florida’s history and stories

VisitFlorida highlighted three historic hotels in Florida: The Biltmore in Coral Gables, the Don Cesar in St. Pete Beach and, of course, the Breakers in Palm Beach. From the article:

"To make the headlines and fill their beds draped with 1,000-thread-count sheets, today’s hotels must generate buzz. Big-name architects, celebrity chefs, rock-star interior designers — all are common in the hotel scene of 2013. These three have all survived troubled times and endure today as true Florida icons."

And then we have the Gulf Stream Hotel in Lake Worth. Still shuttered and silent. All because of a family's wealth, bitterness, and another in a long line of lawsuits to stifle any progress for this little City.
