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.

We love renting in the cabañas by Sebastian beach. Ruben remembered us from a previous stay, and went out of his way to make our experience perfect. He made sure we had the bed we preferred. Ruben’s friendly and helpful attitude really stood out, and he ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

My family and I always have a wonderful time at the Ritz-Carlton. We grabbed breakfast and then hung out at the beach in a Cabana. Ruben and Leo have impeccable service and are so friendly, quick and efficient. We cannot wait for our next visit. Thank you!

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we had a great experience. Jacob at the front desk was so friendly, helpful and accommodating, great sense of humor as well. Location was great, the room was beautiful and clean, the food was excellent. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and professional. Had a great conversation with the waiter at the restaurant (can’t remember his name). Ruben at the beach was super helpful as well. The bartender at the pool was also great. Overall it was a great gateway and would love to stay there again. Read less
