Sonesta Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale, Gold Coast Beaches

Star rating

The hotel

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!

The Sonesta at Ft. Lauderdale oozes with hospitality from the valet (Ford and crew having our car prompty ready when requested!) to the front desk (helping me send out some postcards to our grandparents), the housekeepers asking if we needed anything as we passed them in the hall since our door sign was on do not disturb, and the beach crew setting us up for a great day with chairs and umbrellas($30 extra for the umbrella - 2 chairs come with the room). A minute walk to the beach with shops and great food options at your disposal. 10/10 would book again if back in Ft. Lauderdale. ♡ Read less

Ford, the valet attendant, was helpful, friendly, and gave exceptional service! I was traveling with my 2 kids and my puppy and had a lot of bags and chaos to handle. It was so refreshing to start and end the day with a conversation with Ford:).
