Picky traveler here. Be forewarned. Lifetime Platinum Marriott, Diamond Hilton. Stayed at W for one night, then ran to the Conrad 3 doors down. Upon entering the W the amazingly loud, hip hop music was an assault to the ears. The poor reception desk staff had to literally shout to be heard. Dated grey and blue decor needs a refresh. Unappealing. Rooms are tired and smell of too much cleaning product mixed with mold. The bathroom has glass walls between toilet and sink; and between tub/shower combo and bedroom. Yup, lightly frosted glass. Zero privacy here folks. Bathrobe had to have been a size 2! Skinny husband laughing from bathroom “Come see this! It’s nuts!” Too many other things to list but suffice it to say that the W is P Diddy and the Conrad is Cary Grant. If you are over 40, you’ll probably be disappointed. Can’t say enough good things about the all suite Conrad. We extended our stay bc we liked the Conrad so much. Read less

My stay at the W Hotel in Fort Lauderdale was incredible from start to finish, but what truly made it unforgettable was the beachside experience, thanks to Juan and Sergio. The hotel itself is stunning and personalized service on the beach that really set it apart. I can honestly say our beach day wouldn't have been the same without Juan and Sergio. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond, checking in on us with the kind of care that made it feel like we were hanging out with old friends. They didn't just do their job, they elevated the entire experience. It's rare to find service this genuine and memorable. We'll definitely be back to the W, and we'll be hoping to see Juan and Sergio again when we do! Read less

My husband and I were lucky to spend two nights at this hotel. We had a great room with king sized bed. We loved the balcony and the room itself. Our first night we hung at the library bar which was a great place to have some cocktails and snacks. It has the strangest bathroom though (iykyk). We spent a day at the beach which is just across the street. The guys working were great but there is no extra service there (just towels and bottled water). Chairs are close together and we noticed that this was one of the few sections of the beach that didn’t have some type of bar. We have friends who live locally who met us for dinner at the hotels Mexican restaurant. We had great service and a wonderful meal. Highly recommend. We asked for a late checkout which they could not accommodate but we were able to spend most of the day at the pool. Great service and comfortable seats albeit on top of each other. Overall, we really liked our stay at the W and would return. The only issue we had was the prices at times were very high for what the amenities were and we should have gotten a late check out as Bonvoy members. Read less
