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 had the most enjoyable six night stay at the Ritz Carlton Ft. Lauderdale, from check in to check out. We were greeted upon arrival with friendly service and faces! We met Reuben and Jimmy at the pool and received stellar service from them throughout our stay. They saved seats for us in a prime location throughout the week, always served us with a smile, and ensured we were happy and comfortable. Christina was also a great waitress- checking in on us consistently and making sure we had everything we needed. They were all personable, funny, and genuine. Every visit to the Club Lounge was a treat! We were greeted and served by Will, Alvaro, Florence, Eric, and Chris. We were offered mimosas and various mixed drinks, travel advice, and friendly conversation. Eric made one of our nights in the Club Lounge special by making his signature Divine Layered Espresso Martini. WOW, what a treat! It was fabulous to say the least. He even typed up his recipe for us, printed it out, and put them in Ritz Carlton envelopes for us to take home. He embodies the slogan of “The answer is always….YES!” We have been guests of this Ritz Carlton location for the past three summers and experience high quality customer service each time. We are looking forward to our next trip and will be back soon! Breanna Anderson and Bayleigh Read less

We just returned from an amazing trip! We are a family with two small children, ages four and seven. We usually stay at the Ritz in Key Biscayne (very kid friendly) but since it’s closed for renovation, we tried this out. We’re so very glad we did—every single interaction with the hotel staff was met with a warm smile. I feel terrible I don’t remember any names, but we utilized pretty much every amenity and couldn’t have had friendlier interactions with everyone. We booked a “partial ocean view” room, but there wasn’t anything “partial” about it! We had a stunning view of the ocean on the right, and a view of the intercoastal waterway on the left. Not to mention a perfect view of the sunrise AND the sunset! I overheard some guests complaining that the hotel wasn’t on the beach—you do have to cross a footbridge over the road, but I did not see this as an issue. We will absolutely be returning! Read less
