Fort Lauderdale provides that perfect holiday combination: a lively city set on a glorious stretch of white sand beach. While downtown was once a somewhat uninspiring destination, a relatively recent renovation has turned it into one of the hottest parts of town filled with restaurants, shops, and nightlife options. In reflection of this, the hotel choices are also now particularly good. Whether you're in search of an intimate boutique, a luxury stay, or some real urban cool - there is plenty to choose from. Our hotel experts have scanned the area and chosen four of the best hotels in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Selected for their design, service, and location you can be assured an excellent stay. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next trip?
For a boutique

- The Dalmar is an edgy urban boutique with sleek rooms offering spectacular city views. Cocktails are served on the chic terrace and the restaurant serves up innovative American fare. A hip choice.
- The Pillars is a much more laid-back affair. With just 18 rooms, this hotel has the feel of an old colonial house. The service is warm and the restaurant serves up especially good Mediterranean fare. Best yet there's a speed boat to whizz you straight to downtown.
- Elita Hotel offers simple contemporary luxuries just minutes from the beach (expect minimalist, glass-fronted, rooms with sea views). A lush garden houses a large pool and the city's restaurants and bars are just a stroll away.
For luxury

- Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale is a glamorous beach escape. Located right on the coast, expect all the five-star trimmings including a spa, a wide option of watersports, and fine-dining. The decor is on-point with a subtle nautical feel. Luxury defined.
