W Fort Lauderdale

Top choice in Fort Lauderdale


With an exterior resembling two giant sails and an interior that looks like the backdrop for a J Lo video, this is where the glitterati stay – bust out your stiletto heels/skinny ties and join them. The massive lobby is built for leisure, with a silver-and-aqua lounge area, a moodily lit bar, and a deck lined with wicker chaises.

Swank, modern rooms are done up in palettes of blue and white. The W Bar is open to the public; it's a wonderful spot for people watching and is meant to emulate a stylish living room.
