FLL Upscale Hotel Post-Cruise

[emeraldcitycruiser]

I am looking for an upscale FLL-area hotel close to or on the beach for a post-cruise stay at Christmastime. The Ritz is sold out for that time and I'm on the wait list; I reserved a suite at the Hilton FLL Beach Resort as a backup.

 

I'm looking for recommendations and, in particular, any reviews re: the Hilton FLL Beach Resort, the Atlantic, il Lugano, the W (for anyone who stays there after it opens at the end of this month), or any others. Someplace within walking distance to some restaurants, etc., would be nice because we don't plan on renting a car. Thanks!

Try this one, might work for your date. Usually price is twice as much.

We stayed at the Hilton FLL Beach in December. Good location close to restaurants, walking or short cab rides. Across the street from the beach, but that is not a problem at all. Accommodations were excellent, as we had a one bedroom suite with a partial ocean view. Would definitely stay there again.

Il Lugano is actually a few blocks away from the beach, just in case you didn't know that. There are about a dozen restaurants you could walk to, but none are at the beach. There is an upscale restaurant in the hotel.

 

The others that you mentioned are all very nice and are accessible to the bus, trolley, and water taxi. The Westin also just opened by the Hilton and is on par with the Hilton or even nicer. I stopped in last weekend and it's really nice. Marriott Harbor Beach, Westin Diplomat (Hollywood), and Pelican Beach Resort (boutique style) are all very nice but are not in the middle of everything like the others.

 

If you are interested in an upscale full-service resort that you don't have to leave once you get there, check out the Boca Raton Resort...it's an expansive breathtaking palace just 30 minutes north of Fort Lauderdale! It has several restaurants and a beach club...That would be my first choice.

We had an amazing suite at the Atlantic, I wouldn't hesitate to book there again. Great restaurant too.

If you're considering the Boca Raton Resort, also look at the Bridge Hotel. It's across the inlet from the hotel. If you get the intercoastal view, you look at the hotel and can see the boat traffic & sometimes manatees. It has a pretty good restaurant there. We stay there often, as we have family nearby. We're staying there before our cruise in July.

I'd like to know how you get this rate because I would love to take advantage of a price like that at that Marriott....I checked with the promo code and the cheapest I can get a room is $359

This looks very nice. We need a post cruise hotel.

Hubby smokes...:rolleyes: Are you allowed to smoke on your balcony in Florida?

 

Thank you.

It's right on the beach, and it's really nice! We loved it for a two day post-cruise stay last summer. It was a great way to end a vacation. Check out their website.

Thank you.

 

marriott forbids smoking in all hotel rooms, and IIRC it is also prohibited on balconies as well.....(smoke will drift into the room!) you'd have to go outside of the hotel to smoke (out the front door they usually have a designated smoking area.)_

 

and as for the PKG rate being available...it may not be loaded yet, or, March is spring break and they can fill the rooms at a much higher price than 159.........

I second the Lago Mar a great hotel right on the beach. You will not regret it.

The Westin Diplomat in Hollywood os a fantastic hotel.

It is right on the beach has a wonderful pool area and the rooms are modern and spacious.

The service is, we found, as good as the Ritz, across the walkway is the intercostal waterway with a number of restaurants.

The pool terrace is also excellent and the choices at lunch are varied and well portioned. Nearby are a number of other restaurants and the hotel has a very upscale steakhouse which offers fabulous steaks.

I would stay at this hotel in a heartbeat.

If you are a member of starwood preferred guests there are some excellent packages.

Good luck.
