The hotel

Recently renovated, the Sonesta Fort Lauderdale oozes style and sophistication. One of the many great things about the hotel is its location — set along seven miles of Fort Lauderdale’s coastline, it is walking distance to shops, restaurants, cafes and nightlife, and just minutes from the Riverwalk Arts & Entertainment District and Las Olas Boulevard. It's also easy to jump on a trolley bus so you can explore more of the area. Modern and comfortable guest rooms have luxurious bedding and designer furnishings making for a bright and airy feel yet perfect for that all-important good night's sleep. If you enjoy great food in a contemporary setting, you'll love the Bistro, a casual beachfront restaurant and the ideal spot for breakfast before your relaxing day on the beach.

We wanted to extend our vacation for a few days after our cruise docked in Fort Lauderdale. We chose this hotel for value, proximity to Port Everglades and the airport, and its access to Fort Lauderdale Beach. This is an older but recently updated hotel, distinguished by a graceful curved facade that affords long, panoramic views of the ocean and beach. Our king room on the 12th floor was clean, quiet and quite comfortable. We appreciated the in-room Keurig, free WIFI, large flat-screen TV and 2 complimentary drink tickets that are provided. There’s a small courtyard pool that proved a comfortable and welcome refuge from the wind, with attentive bar service and food available from the hotel's Steel Pan restaurant. Steel Pan also has an attractive open-air deck fronting the ocean which looks inviting except for a continuous flow of 5-lane traffic that detracts from the ambiance. Hotel guests enjoy a daily complimentary hors d’oeurves from 4-5 pm, and Happy Hour priced drinks in the Steel Pan bar from 4-7. The Galleria Mall is a 10-min walk away with good shopping and upscale dining options. There are also a number of casual restaurants in the general vicinity for lunch or dinner, but you’ll walk quite a ways to find a full service breakfast option anywhere outside the hotel. Read less

The Sonesta hotel is slightly out of the main hotel collection which is a great benefit as it is much quieter. One observation is that this area does attract a few vagrants on the beach, however they were no trouble and did not hassle. The hotel is coming towards the end of a major refurbishment.

The Sonesta hotel is slightly out of the main hotel collection which is a great benefit as it is much quieter. One observation is that this area does attract a few vagrants on the beach, however they were no trouble and did not hassle. The hotel is coming towards the end of a major refurbishment. Loved the dual aspect rooms. Constructive feedback for the management team - during our 6 night stay four day the room was not serviced until after 4pm (as a result of large corporate check out I presume). This is not ideal as guests are ready to make their way back to their accommodation at this time after a day on the beach or exploring. Secondly the resort feed do not include a sun parasol this is an extra charge payable on the beach. This encourages guests to possibly over expose on sun and is not in the spirit of an inclusive resort fee. All in all a good choice for visiting Fort Lauderdale with some exceptions. Read less

Great hotel. From the moment you walk through the door, the pleasant smell of clean hits you. The warm greetings by the staff all make you feel so welcome and relaxed. Great views from the rooms. Nice restaurant and pool. A must place to stay when in the area.
