Key Biscayne remained largely undeveloped until 1947, when the Rickenbacker Causeway was built to connect the island to Miami. Years later, the US's southernmost barrier island is easily accessible but remains quietly tranquil and secluded. Set amid this upscale enclave is The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami. The only luxury hotel on the bay, it sits just 20 minutes south of Miami Beach and near Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, Jungle Island and other attractions.
