A Visit to Miami's Only Bed & Breakfast:
Fresh Squeezed Paradise for the LGBT Community!
by Simone Craig
Just steps from Miami’s sprawling skyline of upscale skyscrapers,
the international flavor of Little Havana and America’s second
largest banking district sits a turn-of-the-century oasis known as
the Miami River Inn. Known as an LGBT-friendly resort for years,
the Miami River Inn is ideal for your weekend getaway, Circuit
Party destination or commitment ceremony.
Built between 1906 and 1913, the inn was restored to its original
splendor in the late 1980's by Sallye & Dr. James Jude, both of
which are well respected Miami institutions in their own right.
Mrs. Jude has been an avid preservationist and Dr, Jude is a
pioneer in the American medical/cardiac field.
The Miami River Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and
remains the City of Miami’s only Bed & Breakfast and longest running Inn.
ABOUT MIAMI RIVER INN
The Inn has four cottages with a total of 40 rooms,
each uniquely decorated with antiques and period
pieces. Guests can occupy a first floor room with a
porch that opens to the garden area or choose a
room on the second or third floors with a view of
the Miami River and downtown Miami to the east.
“Most rooms have hardwood floors and are all
decorated with brass, wood and wicker furniture.
Room amenities
include color cable
television, touch-
tone phone, central
air and heat, ceiling
fan and private bath.”
said Inn General
Manager Jane Caporelli.
“What I believe makes
our accommodations
special besides the
antiques & hardwood
floors throughout the
individually decorated rooms, is our friendly &
courteous service, tropical setting & location,
fresh baked goods & Florida orange juice!”
added Caporelli.
The natural outdoor beauty of the property is
reminiscent of a lush tropical garden. Beautiful
flowers, soaring palms and other assorted native
plants surround the pool and Jacuzzi area.
Guests can enjoy breakfast in the garden
courtyard. Enjoy the pool by day and relax in the
evening with a glass of complimentary wine. The croquet green is always manicured for those who can meet
the challenge.
Special events ranging from weddings, commitment ceremonies, conferences, and fundraising parties to
tours and luncheons are a specialty of the Miami River Inn.
The staff will supplement any need selecting from our extensive list of service
amenities. Anything from limousine services to hospitality tents and gourmet
food will be provided for your special occasion.
The Miami River Inn is conveniently located in the
heart of Miami. One can walk to downtown and
enjoy museums, galleries, shopping and dining. The
City offers world-class theater, the ballet, a
symphony orchestra and sports events. The
international airport, Port of Miami and miles of
pristine beaches are all located within 15 minutes
of the property.
“The Inn has been proud to host many
Commitment Ceremonies over the
years. We have various event planning,
floral & catering services you may
choose from, and is the ideal setting for
your romantic retreat in Miami” said
Caporelli “The Inn and our staff is waiting
for your call to book your special event
- today!” added Caporelli.
