Contemporary Fort Lauderdale suite hotel for business or leisure
Well-heeled travelers embrace the Il Lugano Suite Hotel, a 14-story contemporary hotel that towers above the Intracoastal Waterway. VIP extras ensure guests are pampered, starting with four dock slips for yacht parking and chauffeured Escalade rides within a three-mile radius. Suites are equipped with full gourmet kitchens, but no one would fault travelers for booking reservations downstairs, where an upscale Italian restaurant is a claim to fame for a celebrity chef.
Highlights
- All-suite luxury hotel on the Intracoastal Waterway
- In-room spa treatments
- Chauffeured Escalade transportation (based upon availability)
- Boat dock and waterfront pool
Rooms
Spacious suites at the Il Lugano Suite Hotel cater to travelers who appreciate luxuries like 400 thread-count bedding, in-room spa treatments and European bath amenities. Rooms are high on style, favoring clean lines and modern accents like oval ottomans and lamps with oversized shades. Free Wi-Fi is a given, as are two LCD TVs and an iPod docking station that streams tunes through a Bose sound system. Full gourmet kitchens invite guests to prepare meals in their temporary home, which features a dining table and fully furnished balcony for soaking up the views before or after dinner.
Dining
The Italian restaurant seduces with juicy flavors like the signature mozzarella and handcrafted pastas in a scene as luscious as the hotel itself.
Recreation
High rollers and executive travelers indulge in South Florida opulence every time they board Il Lugano One, which hosts private sunset cruises along the Intracoastal Waterway. Guests can also request to dock their own yachts in one of four slips on the property.
Back at Il Lugano Suite Hotel, patrons break a sweat on Precor machines in the fitness center or relax in cabanas by the heated waterfront pool and outdoor Jacuzzi.
When exploration is in order, the hotel can arrange chauffeured rides aboard a Cadillac Escalade within a three mile radius (based on availability) or excursions on the beach aboard il Carrello, which seats 10.

Luxury off the beaten path
This is a fabulous hotel. Our family of four (including 9 and 11 year old girls) had a wonderful time at this upscale hotel. Our suite included a washer and dryer, kitchenette and two queen beds. A balcony overlooked the Atlantic Ocean, although next time we'd opt for the inland waterway side and its glorious sunsets. The rooms appear newly refurbished and are in all respects modern, spacious, clean and very comfortable. The hotel is three blocks from the ocean, but a five block walk to the beach via public access. The surrounding businesses are a bit run down, and some bars can be noisy at night with outdoor loud-speakers going until 2 in the morning. Thus, the location rates only a 3 of 5. Metered parking is plentiful and way cheaper than the hotel's valet parking ($30 per day!), but the metermaids sit in the lots 7 days a week at 7:59 am ready to issue tickets at 8:00 am to those with expired meters. This is the reason for an amenities score of 4 of 5. By the way, the back of the hotel that borders the waterway has extra large caban chairs on raised platforms to wath the sunsets, and the pool and hot tub were great for kids and parents alike. Its a beautiful setting that could not go unmentioned. Bottomline: I'm not easily impressed, but this place is great!

I'll be back!!
The concierge was wonderful, sincere, efficient and in charge. The room was large and clean with full kitchen, table and chairs plus washer/ dryer and nice seating area. The bar was small but complete... Serving dinner when the restaurant was closed on Monday . Atmosphere was quiet, private luxury as this is residential/ hotel. No running children in site. Waterfront. Our visit was early January and temps were 70-80's . We walked to restaurants and to the water taxi which took us everywhere we wanted for one price all day and evening. A spa is the only thing lacking.

Sightseeing tip:
Short walk from hotel
Take the water taxi . Fun ride touring the intercostal waterway while drivers give you interesting info on the yachts, homes, and their famous owners...plus..you can get off at 10 stops for art fairs, bars, restaurants and shopping. The ride home at night ( by 10 pm) is pretty.
