The majesty of marina living, from yacht dining to a lagoon-style pool

Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina guests love being surrounded by water at this Intracoastal Waterway front hotel, boasting views of neighboring 33-slip marina. The property captures contemporary style, favoring mod furniture, a well-edited collection of art and an Asian small plates restaurant fit for a romantic rendezvous. For added allure, guests can have private meals on their yacht or enjoy Evian spritzing by the pool to cool down.

Highlights
  • Contemporary rooms with views of the Intracoastal Waterway and marina
  • Asian small plates restaurant and outdoor bar
  • 33-slip marina
  • Elements deck and pool with poolside ambassadors
  • 24-hour fitness center with Life Fitness equipment
Rooms

Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina rooms capture contemporary sophistication with sleek furniture and a neutral palette. Floor-to-ceiling windows and furnished balconies exploit the hotel's best asset: views of the marina, 17th Street Causeway, Port Everglades or Intracoastal Waterway. Stylish design elements reign, including mosaic-tiled bathrooms and plush bedding and tech comforts like iHome stations and high-speed Internet access.

Dining

Where guests choose to dine, the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina accentuates the ambiance. The G pours on the South Florida romance, thanks to a position next to the 33-slip marina, the perfect spot to grab tropical cocktails, sliders and seared Ahi tuna salad. China Grill Fort Lauderdale oozes sex appeal, dishing up Asian small plates under enormous wood beams, track lighting and the stars--the restaurant also boasts a patio for admiring the Intracoastal Waterway.

 

For on-the-go bites, hit Antea, which serves specialty coffees, teas and baked goods for breakfast and salads and sandwiches during lunch. When private dining is in order, the hotel can cater meals on yachts or in rooms.

 

Recreation

A 24-hour fitness center houses Life Fitness treadmills and weight machines, while a heated outdoor pool stuns with a free-form shape and gorgeous palm tree landscaping. Poolside ambassadors are at the ready when guests feel the need for a spritz of Evian water or a eucalyptus towel. The G restaurant can also concoct that perfect poolside cocktail.

Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina

Location too far from center of Ft. Lauderdale unless you have a rental car. Height of hotel blocks out p.m. sunshine. No jacuzzi. Concierge staff was quite unfriendly. No flyers at hotel to inform guests of area attractions. Housekeeping and reservation staff were great -- friendly and informative.

Nothing luxurious

[...]With the same money you can choose among many other hotels which are in the proximity of the beach. Because this hotel is not.

Beautiful views, great location

Nice room with beautiful view, very clean. The staff was very helpful - maybe the people at the poolside bar could be more considerate of all their guests. We had good service, but we noticed not everyone had that benefit.

Modern luxuries at a great rate!

The location was great -- close to the beach and to Downtown/Las Olas. The boats at the marina were a hit as well. Cabs were easy to come by and the concierges/hotel staff were friendly and obliging. Late check-out, which is always essential, was easy to obtain and at no charge. The Pool area was laid out perfectly -- plenty of comfortable lounge chairs with ample room for all guests, there was water with lemon set out, and there was also a great pool bar with good drink prices and light fare. The rooms had all of the amenities you need in a home away from home -- high-end hair dryer, plenty of towels, good toiletries (even cotton swabs!), a mini-fridge, flat-panel TV, super comfortable bed, pen and paper, and a guide book and magazine for the hotel and FLL/MIA area. I will definitely go back to this hotel the next time I'm in the area!

Money-saving tip: In Hotel

Don't use the cabs that the concierge calls -- it is a van service that charges you almost double the rates of a regular cab. My ride from the hotel to Las Olas was $16 (and my ride back from a regular taxi service was $9).

Lovely Hotel

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. The front desk staff was very good. My rate through Orbitz was great. I upgraded to a waterway view and it was just fantastic. The room was nicely appointed and the housekeeping staff were very good. I will have to say there was some wear showing - but it really was very minor. The pool was fun with a great mix of people of all ages. A nice atmosphere with beautiful yachts to see.The outside bar was great. There were two negatives that kept me from giving all stars. 1. The Hilton's parking fee is ridiculous - 19 per night. 2. The staff at the inside casual lounge was just truly horrible - rude and unapologetic. However, the Manager was kind enough to comp my purchase for me - without me even asking. I had a great time and highly recommend this lovely hotel.
