Oozing style and sophistication, one of the many great things about the Sonesta Fort Lauderdale is where it is. Set just steps from the 7-mile stretch of sands, you can be jumping in those lapping waves in no time. But it’s not all about the beach. You’ll love the relaxing, calm infinity-edge pool, and the spa suite where you can treat yourself to a massage. The restaurant is a cool twist of Caribbean and American food, not to forget the tasty cocktails!

We spent two wonderful weeks here and loved every moment. The staff is amazing — many knew our names after just a few days — and the hotel is spotless and well maintained. Every room faces the ocean, so the views are perfect, and the location can’t be beat, right across from Fort Lauderdale Beach. The restaurant and bar are excellent, with a great happy hour from 4–7. We’re leaving tomorrow not just a hotel, but friends. Highly recommend!

Best experience

I had a wonderful experience as usual during my check in with Ward. He was welcoming, friendly and very helpful! I am a club member so I am use to the Sonesta and love staying here from time to time and this was by far the best experience.
Honeymoon.

Gorgeous hotel. All units I believe are ocean front. Stayed at a Sonesta hotel last week in Schiller park/ ohare and this was nicer. Front desk lady had an open room and let us check in at 9 am. Gave us free breakfast since it’s our hunny moon. Great experience.
Excellent choice for either vacation or business. Laid-back chill, clean and friendly.

This hotel is truly a gem located conveniently across the street from the Atlantic Ocean my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay from the moment we are greeted by the valet services to the minute. We stepped into the reception area at the front desk… The hotel smells lovely as soon as you walk in and they are super pet friendly as well… This hotel is very clean. Beds are comfortable And there are a variety of excellence little places surrounding the hotel that you can eat at whatever your taste in food is… We literally went when it’s off-season, but I can imagine how lively it is in that area. If you don’t feel like venturing into downtown, which by the way is only a short Uber ride away… I will definitely be returning and staying at this little hidden oasis at the end of the strip and it’s much quieter but easily accessible to nightlife. You can walk down there too if you like the exercise otherwise just happen an Uber and you’ll be there… About 10 minutes away from Las Olas and downtown by car. I really couldn’t stop complementing the hotel staff for their great hospitality… And the pool area is adorable. It’s not huge, but it’s perfect and the vibe is nice. I can only imagine when the hotel is jam with people. The music is great and gives a very warm vibe… Great work and thank you for your hospitality will be returning down the road.
