The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale

The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale sits on North Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard. It is steps away from the sand of Fort Lauderdale Beach, placing the surf at the front door.

This hotel prioritizes proximity to the shoreline over the bustle of the inland boatyards. While a fifteen-minute walk gets you to the Fort Lauderdale Marina, most visitors stop here to remain tethered to the water. The property is dressier than the surrounding beach shacks, and its dedicated outdoor pool offers a retreat from the public crowds just across the street. If you prefer the Atlantic horizon to the view of moored yachts, this is the superior choice on the boulevard.
