Playfully-mod interiors – lobby rocks an oversized illustrated map of Dania Beach, hanging swing chairs and a pool table.

Perched right on the Intracoastal, steps from the sand. It originally opened as Escape in 1949 – the first year-round beach hotel with a pool.

Prime proximity to Fort Lauderdale and cruise ports with free FLL shuttles and WiFi? Respect the connect.

Beach-centric style makes you feel tanner & blonder just hanging out. That said, it’s the Shore Dive Capital of South Florida – don a mask & gawk at the fish.

Fun wallpaper, chic furnishings & a top-notch roster of amenities make guestrooms the perfect home base.

The city's oldest hotel (built in 1936), but frequent renovations keep it comfortable.

Those famous Atlantic Coast beaches you’ve heard about? Experience them in person – just minutes away. (Early birds’ll want to catch the sunrise.)

Spot-on location near Dania, Hollywood and Ft. Lauderdale beaches. Plus the airport (obvs), Sawgrass Mills, Aventura Mall & Hard Rock Stadium.

Courtesy shuttle whisks you (and your two-too-many bags) to/from the nearby airport.

Fresh modern monochrome inside, bursting with natural color outside.

Hungry? Sure, you could walk the shore and explore for options, but we prefer to stay and slay the ceviche right here at Riviera by Fabio Viviani.

Rooms’ warm mahogany and oceany-blue tones are an elegant take on beachy-chic ‘tude.

Mod refurbished elegance with the beach on one side and the canal on the other, and floor to ceiling windows to take full advantage.

Floor-to-ceiling windows, tons of space & design-mag-worthy styling await in each kitted-out suite. Also a plus: in-room washer/dryer(!).

Palm-lined mid-rise (with pool!) next to the historic district, just a few blocks from the Las Olas Blvd Riverfront’s shopping/dining/people-watching.

Spa-inspired baths with Bluetooth mirror for streaming tunes or [insert go-to podcast here].

Open, relaxing atmosphere with free shuttle service to both the airport and cruise port.

Convenient spot away from the crowds, just 12 miles from the Fort Lauderdale Airport.

Half-moon shaped outdoor pool and patio curve around the rooms – even more enjoyable with the poolside bar.

Raise your hand if you hate cinnamon rolls at breakfast. No one? That's what we thought.

A paradisiacal space where the atmosphere is imbued by those Buffett vibes. And yes, there's a tiki bar.

Plenty of space to chill, from the bigger-than-average rooms to the 5th-floor terrace with pool.

Nothing like a good ol' fashioned game of Marco Polo in the pool.

Need free WiFi? You got it.

Making this town a tad more fab, from the location in seaside North Beach Village to the stylish décor to the eye candy.

One of the few area hotels located right on the beach.

Spectacular location just steps from the beach as well as shops and restaurants along the boardwalk.

Bring your furry friends along for the ride. This place is pet friendly.
