CORAL GABLES, FL, May 2, 2006. The rest of South Florida may slow down during the lazy days of summer, but things are definitely jumping at the Biltmore. Up-and-coming jazz stars and fashion designers, sensational synchronized swimming shows - virtually invented at the hotel in the trend-setting 1930's - and a weekly schedule of sophisticated special evenings are making the Biltmore one of the country's liveliest, most glamorous, and "happening" place for a summer vacation.

To entice travelers to Miami's only full-service luxury resort, the Biltmore is offering a "Summer Escape" package that includes all of the above, plus complimentary golf on the classic Donald Ross-designed championship course that wraps around the iconic hotel, and a $100 credit at the Biltmore Spa, which was accepted into membership of the prestigious Leading Spas of the World within a month of opening last year. And that's just for starters.

The "Summer Escape" package runs from June 1 through September 30 and is priced at $219 per day for double occupancy. Features include:

• Junior suite accommodations

• A welcome amenity gift

• 18 holes of golf, including unlimited use of the resort's driving range and practice facilities (The Biltmore is where many of today's superstars, including Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia, as amateurs, gave notice to seasoned pros to step aside)

• A $100 credit at the Biltmore Spa, including a complimentary signature Chardonnay Bath Ritual

• Complimentary luxury car service throughout the city of Coral Gables for shopping and sightseeing (Bicycle tours and weekend horse-and-carriage tours are also available)

• Use of the resort's Fitness Center, voted by Men's Fitness magazine as one of the "Top Fitness Facilities in America"

The Biltmore's lively summer season also features a full-service tennis center with 10 Har-Tru courts and an award-winning selection of restaurants. The Palme d'Or, for example, was recently named "Most Outstanding Restaurant and Wine List Program" in South Florida. And, the newest addition to the Biltmore's exceptional dining experience is a totally transformed al fresco Cascade restaurant and Boules Bar located along side the property's famous, 700,000 gallon swimming pool, the largest hotel pool in America, now also featuring private Cabana Suites with poolside butler and spa services.

Transforming the Biltmore's pool experience into one of the region's most popular social scenes, Cascade and Boules Bar provide the setting for numerous special evening events. These include "Cool Cocktail Hour Jazz" on Thursdays, "Martini Mondays," "Scotch and Cigar Tuesdays," "Glam Fridays" with dazzling synchronized swimming shows, and "Lechon and Mojitos Sundays," a tasty, pig roast celebration of the Miami area's colorful and sensuous Latin influences. For a change of pace, the sophisticated and stylish Biltmore Bar is the scene for "Hip Wednesdays."

The Biltmore has also enhanced its renowned Sunday Brunch with a "Brunch Fashion Show," a showcase for trendy new fashion and accessory designers and a weekly occurrence that will add additional glamour and cosmopolitan charm to the property. And, as if that were not enough, the celebration of Bastille Day in July (the resort traditionally features a special Wine Dinner at the Palme d'Or in honor of the occasion) will feature the first in a series of quarterly art exhibitions.
