My wife and I had purchased tickets for the Fort Lauderdale Winterfest Boat Parade and were looking to stay at a nice hotel in close proximity to the event.
The Ritz Carlton emerged as the optimal selection.
The hotel featured a stunning marble lobby entrance.
Additionally, it was adorned for the Christmas season.
The staff was exceptionally courteous and accommodating from the moment we arrived.
Beyond the expansive lobby entrance, there are several shops and Burlock, which is a sizable restaurant and bar.
Moreover, there is a lovely pool and spa located on the 7th floor, along with a walkway leading to the beach across the street.
Our room was tastefully updated and included a lanai that offered a captivating view of the pool and ocean.
It is an excellent choice for anyone visiting Fort Lauderdale.
About The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale
The Ritz-Carlton is a beautiful hotel situated across from the beach, with an elevated pool area offering stunning ocean views. The hotel lobby is stunning, with full amenities and knowledgeable front desk staff. Dining options are varied, and some guests have found the service and amenities exceptional. However, others have experienced inconsistent quality, with the property not always meeting Ritz-Carlton standards. The staff, especially the room service and concierge, are often accommodating and friendly, though the front desk can be difficult to reach at times. Overall, the hotel's atmosphere can be great, but the experience may vary.
Reviews
We stayed at the hotel for a short two-night visit, and while the property itself was beautiful, it was the staff that truly made our stay exceptional. Rodney, who worked at the pool, stood out as one of the best hotel staff members I’ve ever encountered. From the moment we arrived, he was warm, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful—remembering our names right away and even bringing me my favorite coffee without me having to ask. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality took our experience to another level. Thanks to Rodney, our stay was not just enjoyable, but memorable!
Rooms are great. service too! HOWEVER, the pigeon issue needs to be addressed! Pigeons walking in lobby, the facade of the building is covered in pigeon droppings, its so BAD! They evwn walk atop the outside bar!!! its Vile! Diseases ste padsed from these flying rodents!! will not visot again!
