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

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.

Shopportunities at Sawgrass Mills, events at the BB&T Center or catching a flight – you’re central to all of it.

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

Newly opened hotel (Jan 2024)

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.

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

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

Retro building, mod rooms. What more do you need?

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

Recently renovated, with comfortable beds, contemporary décor and flat-screens.

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

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

Right by the beach and strolling distance from shops & eats.

Express Start Breakfast is really not something you want to sleep through. Up and at ‘em.

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

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

Primo Galt Ocean Mile location, near nightlife, Las Olas shopping, the airport and cruise port.

Why does breakfast taste so much better when someone else makes it for you? We don’t know, but the theory is proven here.

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

Breakfast is comped. Good morning!

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

Drink in views from the terrace restaurant, hammocks or private balconies.

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

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

Free WiFi keeps us from getting the tech withdrawal shakes.

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.

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

Feet from the sand in the heart of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Yeah, beachfront life is OK.
