Great view sitting outside the hotel in the Indigo Restaurant along Las Olas Blvd. Watch the world go by while under fan lined awning with a solid and pleasing breakfast or lunch menu.
Alfredo Del PozzoMay 17, 2017Excellent Hotel, excellent service and even better location. The restaurant and bar are located on the sidewalk to see all the action, glamor and fashion of the best areas of Miami.
Brad HagerMarch 13, 2016Lovely hotel, great staff / service. Beautiful & charming. Great restaurants, perfect location on Las Olas Blvd for shopping, dining, walking & people watching. The water taxi steps away is a MUST!!- Great breakfast and brunch on Las Olas! Byron delivers service beyond expectation - always. Bring your dogs they are welcome :-)
Crystal MJuly 29, 2017Looked at this for my family reunion, but was not getting family reunion vibes for my family there. Talked to Barbara Lane & she gave us a full on review if everything in & out of the hotel.
Debbi GranruthJune 12, 2014Great hotel with old world charm-Ask for a room with balcony in the new section over looking the river-Have drinks and appetizers at Indigo-Great place to people watch-Very European feel.
M/Y FreedomJune 5, 2013M/Y Freedom frequently docks at the marina here to pick up guests and/or host dockside events. Beautiful and convenient location; friendly staff provides excellent service, especially Dockmaster Rafe.- As the ONLY hotel on Las Olas Boulevard, there's really no better place to stay in Fort Lauderdale. A unique gem of a resort, with international charm and outstanding food and service!
Jeff AbbaticchioJune 29, 2013Best location on the boulevard. Dining, shopping and great people watching. Plus, just minutes from the beach and art museums!
VisitLauderdaleJuly 31, 2012Match your puppy’s paws perfectly into the paw imprints, left by local animals in the hotel’s foyer tiles from the 1930s, and they’ll scratch the $75 charge for your pet’s stay.
LAURA M.June 22, 2012Loved the Tommy Bahama room. Bathroom was small but fun with a large walk-in shower. Enjoyed Indigo for breakfast too!
Nope MayvilleOctober 29, 2011John Sampogna and Jesse Brightman will only stay in suite 1018. They met there, fell in love and birthed their first child all in the same room.- Dragos MANACJuly 29, 2010Excellent location, friendly staff, fabulous style. I'm so glad we gave up Miami Beach's Ocean Drive for this. 100 times better in class and value.
The pool is rad -- river views, lush landscaping, free towels and poolside food and drink service. If you're a local, they offer memberships.
- VisitLauderdaleJune 11, 2012Dock at the Riverside Hotel Marina then shop and dine along Las Olas Blvd in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale.
Tyler LeachMarch 30, 2013The room was nice, it was big, the bathroom was huge. There was no fridge in the room which spoiled the idea of saving last nights left overs. Wi-Fi did not work inside, it only worked on the balcony.- VisitLauderdaleDecember 2, 2013Come and ice skate around the rink on Las Olas for $10. Now open until January 15th.
Dona KleinAugust 26, 2010"Send off to Summer" rates for Labor Day weekend: $89 for a classic room, $99 for a tower room and $109 for a tower room with balcony. Such a deal!
Rosie PaulsenJuly 29, 2019Hotel was clean, very uncomfortable though, tV was in one corner of the room when we lay down to watch TV I was not able to watch TV
Scott GellmanSeptember 5, 2014There are two different disconnected towers, don't get in the wrong elevator!- Dona KleinAugust 23, 2010Best place to people watch is one of three places inside the hotel in Indigo, the Golden Lion or Preston's. Read more
John BokasJune 25, 2011My favorite hotel in Fort Lauderdale. Excellent location, facilities, and service.
Ali SatirogluJuly 10, 2017The worst thing,bed was uncomfortable.You can feel the springs of the thin bed . It s enough to touch the bed . Don't need to sleep over hours .1week stay has overed at the second day .- Ali SatirogluJuly 10, 2017Only the good was location , central at las olas blvd.room was smelling bed through the A/C. All floor is smelling bed .Internet didn't worked any min in the room , even I couldn't use phone in room
John SampognaOctober 29, 2011a hotel of choice for the king of the night, eric mayville. he's one hot cookie.
Joel EslerMarch 21, 2010This place is great. Except, when we were there, the hotel had a propensity to set off the fire alarm in the middle of the night.
Thom CraverJune 17, 2013Everything looks nice enough. It's so powdery fresh smelling, I can taste it. Almost too fake. My in-room coffee hadn't been cleaned out in God knows how long. Disgusting.
Great hotel but don't bother asking for directions they don't know up from down they sent me miles in the wrong direction
Hotel TonightNovember 17, 2011Who needs a beach when you can lounge poolside and watch the yachts sail by?
BradMarch 4, 2011The best thing about the place is sitting outside on Las Olas ...... Otherwise it totally suks !! The absolute WORST!!
Maggie CarusoAugust 26, 2010This hotel has an amazing location but they should really modernize their rooms. Old is not cute.
Patrícia TavaresJuly 28, 2015Ótimo!! Super bem localizado, Qto confortável e brasileiros são bem vindos!!🇧🇷 A rua Las Olas é super badalada, com lojas, restaurantes, faz tudo a pé!😉
