Everglades Hotel

The Everglades Hotel was a historic hotel located in Downtown Miami, Florida. At 23 floors, it was once the largest hotel in the city. The construction was completed just before the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926, which flooded the lobby.[1]

Television station WTVJ (channel 4, now 6) originally had its transmitter atop the hotel when it signed on the air in 1949.

The building was demolished in 2005 to make room for a new building. Originally named "Everglades on the Bay" in its honor, the new building was later renamed Vizcayne.
