Question: What luxury hotel opened in Miami on January 20, 1906, helping shape early tourism in the city?
Answer: The Halcyon Hall Hotel
Constructed by Salem & Emily Graham, the Halcyon Hall Hotel opened on January 20, 1906. The Halcyon Hall Hotel was as much of a Miami pioneer as the men who built it and the people who called it home. It was built at a time when Miami was trying to find its identity. It provided a choice for luxurious hotel accommodations when Henry Flagler’s Royal Palm Hotel was the top destination in town.
