I stayed at the W Fort Lauderdale for 5 nights on a workcation stay June 2024. The vibe and ambiance are perfect at this W Fort Lauderdale Beach. The staff are accommodating and welcoming. But the guest experience team, especially Raul, Nicholas and Gabriel do all they can to ensure each guest is satisfied. This hotel is also working to make updates and maintain quality. Shot out to Luis at the Wet Deck pool who really made sure we were comfortable. And James who worked hard out there at the pool in the heat to ensure we had the food and libations needed with convenience. Hotel has great features like live DJ and karaoke nite. Grab a daybed at the pool with your friends to enjoy additional relaxation. The beach service is an added plus. Plan your day early to get the spots u want and be rest assured to find comfort. I really like the grab and go breakfast burrito offered at El Vez in the lobby. The blueberry muffin also was delish. Happy hour at El Vez is fab too. All in all this is a great experience because if there was ANYTHING needed or we had an issue the guest experience team made sure to take care of us. When you choose to stay at the W Fort Lauderdale Beach you can feel comfortable because the teams listen and cater to guest needs WHILE you are still there. This is huge because most guests wait to provide feedback when it’s too late. You will not be disappointed choosing the wonderful oceanfront and well located W Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel. I will definitely be back for more great experiences. Read less

Since 2014, I’ve been cautious about W hotels, but the Ft. Lauderdale W has been an exception. The main reason for my continued stays here is Mr. Raul Lopez. I first met him 12 years ago, and he has consistently exceeded my expectations. Even if you haven’t met him, you’ll recognize him immediately at the front desk—always welcoming, with an infectious smile. His genuine interest in guests and willingness to assist make you feel like you’ve known him forever. Beyond Mr. Lopez, the entire staff follows his lead. Their efforts to enhance guests’ experiences are evident. The hotel maintains impeccable cleanliness, and the rooms reflect this attention to detail. Whether you’re by the pool or checking in, the service consistently goes above and beyond. In summary, Ft.

Second time here and we will be booking again - it feels safe and is convenient for pre-cruise stays. We've eaten in the casual dining area for both brunch and evening meal and enjoyed the food and service. It would be 5/5 but its a little pricey.
