Rooms and Suites with a View

When it comes to choosing where to stay, you’ve got options. If you're looking for more space, the suites are a great pick. They're perfect for families or anyone who wants a bit more room to spread out. On the other hand, if you're really into those scenic views, the tower rooms are the way to go. You’ll be treated to panoramic sights of the water and the surrounding area, so you can enjoy the beauty of Fort Lauderdale from the comfort of your room.

What's also cool is that the hotel is pet-friendly, which is a big plus if you travel with your furry friends. You won’t have to leave them behind, and they’ll probably love the outdoor areas as much as you do. Plus, if you're planning a business trip, there are meeting rooms and facilities available — so whether it's work or play, this place has you covered.

The menu is packed with dishes inspired by Eastern Mediterranean cuisine, and the best part? You can enjoy your meal right on the waterfront. The view alone is worth a visit, but the food? That’s the real star.
