The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale

We stayed three nights in a beautiful ocean-view room overlooking their 7th floor pool area. It was spacious with an excellent bed and beautiful bathroom. Check-in was easy and friendly. We did have a few issues. The concierge first night did not seem very knowledgeable and got our dinner reservation wrong. She didn't want to call while we waiting, never left us a confirmation, and when we confirmed with the restaurant, she had booked the wrong evening. We asked another concierge the next day for directions to walk to a shopping area. He left out the fact that "right after the bridge" was actually a mile or more after the bridge. It would have been fine with a car, but not so good walking. Also, although the service in the restaurant for breakfast was very good, the food was mediocre. For the price, we would have hoped for a bit better.

My wife and I had purchased tickets for the Fort Lauderdale Winterfest Boat Parade and were looking to stay at a nice hotel in close proximity to the event. The Ritz Carlton emerged as the optimal selection. The hotel featured a stunning marble lobby entrance. Additionally, it was adorned for the Christmas season. The staff was exceptionally courteous and accommodating from the moment we arrived. Beyond the expansive lobby entrance, there are several shops and Burlock, which is a sizable restaurant and bar. Moreover, there is a lovely pool and spa located on the 7th floor, along with a walkway leading to the beach across the street. Our room was tastefully updated and included a lanai that offered a captivating view of the pool and ocean. It is an excellent choice for anyone visiting Fort Lauderdale.

We have been coming to Fort Lauderdale every year for my birthday for quite some time. We have stayed at many of the other beach resorts, but decided to stay at the Ritz Carlton this year and it surpassed every expectation. We had the most beautiful corner room, with breahtaking ocean views. The housekeeping was impeccable, always keept the room looking pristine, complete with no shortage of fresh towels, clean bedding and turndown service. The food at Burclock Coast and the pool bar was all delicious. The pool was so relaxing and clean, and we enjoyed being able to take the bridge to the beach whenever we wanted. What made the trip so special, however, was the customer service and connection made with the staff. Rueben at the front desk, the elite concierge, and especially Scott at the pool made our trip worth every penny. We already can't wait to come back next year and years to come to see Scott again! Thank you for the best time!

We had a terrific few days at the Ritz Carlton in Fort Lauderdale. We were greeted by one of the best front doormen ever, Walter. Walter was over the top in how he greeted and made sure anything we needed was sorted out. We stayed on the Club floor. We arrived late and both Joey and DRay went that extra mile to make sure we got everything we needed. They were both personable and helpful and made our experience on the club floor wonderful during our trip. The food was great and the club facility was well worth the cost. We enjoyed staying at this hotel and would definitely consider going back mostly because of the amazing service.

From start to finish, my experience at The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale was nothing short of outstanding. The staff truly exemplifies world-class hospitality. They accommodated my request to move from a pool-level room to a higher floor seamlessly, making my stay even more enjoyable. The highlight of my visit was the Club Lounge—it is, without question, the best I’ve ever experienced. The team there is phenomenal: attentive, warm, and genuinely committed to creating a memorable experience. The food offerings are exceptional, with a variety and quality that feel more like fine dining than a typical lounge. If you’re looking for luxury, personalized service, and an unforgettable stay, this property is a must. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
