Riverside Hotel | Fort Lauderdale, Gold Coast Beaches | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Fort Lauderdale, Gold Coast Beaches

3 stars

Available offers

Full of Old Florida charm, the Spanish tile floors and and overhead fans means that this classic hotel fits in well within the Cuban feel of Las Olas Boulevard. The road is the forefront of everything from restaurants to fashion boutiques, art galleries to bars - so it's a great alternative to the oceanfront hotels of Fort Lauderdale, and the beach is still only a 10 minute drive away! There's a wide variety of dining options available within the hotel too - with Wild Sea featuring an impressive raw bar and a creative seafood menu, all of which can be enjoyed whilst watching the yachts sail down the river. The Golden Lyon Pub and Preston's Wine and Martini Lounge both offer happy hours for a pre-dinner tipple too. If you're not planning to spend much time in your room, the Micro room offers value for money, but upgrading will give you more space to relax in for families.

“Wonderful Hidden Gem In The Heart of Downtown Fort Lauderdale, FL”

Sep 22, 2025Shawn K

The hotel stay was just as lovely as the last time I stayed here. Front desk staff are always very friendly, and I love the dining options on site. Convenient to lots of local shops and restaurants as well. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice, clean hotel in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale. Looking forward to my next stay here.

“Preston's Lounge is always worth a visit”

Sep 20, 2025Larry H

When we visit Las Olas we always stop in Preston's Lounge. Monica the bartender is awesome! Even if we haven't been there for weeks, she always remembers us and greets us with a smile. If you are looking for a great place to unwind, listen to Patricia on the piano and be treated like someone special, Preston's is the place to go.

“Top Notch”

Sep 09, 2025Kelli I

We refuse to stay anywhere else when we move our daughter in/out or visit her at NSU. It is classified as a “boutique” resort and I think that describes it perfectly. You feel like you are the only customer being pampered by a five star staff. They obviously are selective about who they hire because we adore soooo many of their staff. We already booked another stay for the end of September 2025 and we can’t wait to get there!!!
