The Pillars

Fort Lauderdale has everything for a city break in the sun - beautiful beaches, world-class dining, a buzzing nightlife scene, and high-end shopping. It comes as no surprise then, that there is a wide choice of hotels for travellers to select from. However, many of the hotels fall into the more generic chain and resort category. For those who like something a little more intimate, our Hotel Gurus recommend choosing a boutique. The choice may not be as broad, but you can be ensured a unique stay with personalised service and individual design. So, why not browse through our collection of the best boutique hotels in Fort Lauderdale to start planning your stay?

For a hideaway

The Pillars
