The W Hotel in Fort Lauderdale offers a fantastic blend of luxury, style, and comfort, with an incredible beachfront location that makes it a perfect escape. From the moment we arrived, the hotel’s chic, modern design impressed us, setting the tone for a memorable stay. The standout feature, of course, is the hotel’s prime spot right on the beach. The stretch of sand is pristine, and the turquoise waters are just steps away, making it easy to relax or take part in water activities. The hotel provides excellent service by the beach, with attentive staff ensuring guests are always comfortable. A special mention goes to Ryan, who went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. From giving great local recommendations to ensuring all our needs were met with a smile, he truly made a difference. His personalized service added a special touch to our visit, and we felt genuinely cared for. Read less

The beach was great! Ryan was super nice and brought towels and ice cold water. We played in the warm water, and made sandcastles in the sand. There were no rocks or sharp shells in the water so no one got hurt. I got fantasy football advice from Ryan who helped us get settled and happy.

I just want to mention Daniella and Erin down on the beach they made our stay very enjoyable always checking in to see if we needed water or anything they can do to make our stay any better ! I said all I have to say the fact that I can’t make my review under 200 characters is crazy 🤣

Very attentive and thoughtful staff. Had a wonderful surprise for my boyfriend's birthday when a nice bottle of prosecco and a dessert was left when we arrived back to our room after dinner. Everything was very clean and the pool was very relaxing. Would come back!
