Character and identity
Reopened in 2025 after a multi-year revitalization, this 32-acre waterfront landmark traces its glamour back to 1965, when the 17-story tower and its revolving Pier Top lounge crowned Fort Lauderdale's skyline. The revival keeps that mid-century swagger intact while layering in modern coastal polish: 325 rooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows over the Intracoastal, five restaurants, three pools, tennis courts, a 13,000-square-foot Zenova Spa, and a 164-slip marina cleared for yachts up to 400 feet. Pier Top is back in service, still revolving, still one of the more distinctive perches in Florida.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and families drawn to yacht-culture Fort Lauderdale who want resort scale with design ambition. Boat owners benefit directly from the deep-water marina and Port Everglades access. Families are well served by the Pier Explorers Kids' Club with age-tiered programming, while spa-goers get hydrotherapy, a snow room, and a vitality pool with city views.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers who want a true beachfront base should note this is an Intracoastal resort, not oceanfront. The 32-acre, 325-room scale and active marina also mean a busy, social atmosphere rather than a hidden boutique retreat, and the property is too freshly reopened to have a settled service track record.
Bottom line
The defining draw here is the marina and the revived Pier Top lounge: this is Fort Lauderdale's yachting address, reborn with serious spa and dining infrastructure attached. Book it if you arrive by boat, or want a large-scale resort with design credibility and kids' programming. Aim for a higher-floor suite facing the Intracoastal, and go early in the reopening window while rates still settle.
