The hotel

Florida's first AAA Five Diamond hotel – need we say any more?! The Ritz-Carlton in Fort Lauderdale is glamorous yet unpretentious with it’s nautical design, comfy seating areas and relaxed ambience. Only the highway separates the hotel from the beachfront, but with a pedestrian bridge you’ll have your toes in the sand in minutes. Alternatively, plot up in a poolside cabana on the elevated deck looking over the Atlantic with it’s dedicated bar and food service at hand to meet your needs. With an expansive fitness centre overlooking the Intracoastal waterway and a spa that offers it’s own happy hour you can ensure your mind and body are well looked after. When it’s time to explore further afield, mainland Los Olas Boulevard is the place to go, just a short water taxi ride away, for which you’ll receive daily complimentary tickets from the hotel.

Stellar stay in absolutely every. single. way!! My husband and I visited for our 25th wedding anniversary; a quick, 4 day getaway in the middle of a very busy summer. From the second we arrived, it was top-notch attention on every level. We had an early flight in and the front desk found a room for us— we were prepared to wait, but we didn’t have to. The rooms are newly re-done and are supremely clean and very comfortable. Bed was amazing! At the pool, Jimmy and Jonathan took such good care getting chaise’s ready and towels, waters. Cristina and MacKenson made certain we were never without iced teas, Coke or cocktails and food anytime we were at the pool. The fellows on the beach had towels and umbrellas and chaises ready for us when we visited the beach. I’d especially like to call out the incredible staff at the restaurant on site, Burlock Coast. Laro~ my favorite server, started our days off with his wonderful smile and coffees, breakfast… his dedication to customers was clear. The bartenders at the bar, Michael and his coworkers were so fun and engaging, taking great care crafting gorgeous drinks. All I can say is you get what you pay for— seriously. We felt pampered and cared for from the SECOND we stepped into the property. The Ritz Carlton Ft Lauderdale has earned two very discerning, well-travelled customers with their actually perfect attention to details. We look forward to visiting again next year. Thank you.

Wow! I loved my stay. Was in a one bedroom residential unit for a week on the 15th floor. Beautiful room facing the ocean. Service was outstanding. Pool was impeccable. Beach acces is a bit tricky, but not inconvenient. Spa was lovely. The main restaurant was delicious. Room service was hit and miss on quality. Will stay again
