“Miami was built on a grandiose dream that somehow came true. The Biltmore’s fanciful half-acre pool embodies the infinite possibilities of this city of whimsy. The winter headquarters of the Roaring Twenties, the hotel survived the 1930’s with Busby Berkeley–style aquacades starring Esther Williams; Johnny Weissmuller, in pre-Tarzan days, was a swim coach. By the 1970’s, the derelict Biltmore had become the local version of the hotel in The Shining— over time, both hotel and pool reopened, but every swim remains a dip into myth, enveloped by glittering ghosts.”
