Hotels across Greater Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale earned the "Venice of America" line honestly — three hundred miles of canals and waterways thread the city, mega-yachts idle past mansion lawns, and the water taxi is genuine public transit — then backed it with everything else a Florida trip wants: seven miles of promenade-backed beach, the Everglades' airboats and gators forty minutes west, a paddlewheeler dinner show running since 1935, house museums from swamp-pioneer to artist-eccentric, and a dining boulevard that out-strolls Miami's. This guide books the city by its waterlines — taxi passes, airboat slots, harbor cruises, the beach's free best — and anchors it with hotels from the reborn Pier Sixty-Six spire to the Las Olas grande dame.

Top Fort Lauderdale Experiences
Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi
The city's floating transit and its best tour in one ticket — all-day hop-on-hop-off boats working the New River and Intracoastal past mega-yachts and mansion rows, with narration that names the owners. The Venice line, ridden properly.
Everglades Airboat Tour
The gator show forty minutes from the beach — airboats skim the sawgrass river west of the city, wild alligators sunning the levees, with the roar, the spin, and the guide who knows every bull gator by name. Florida's loudest essential.
Jungle Queen Riverboat
The 1935 institution — a paddlewheeler churning up the New River past the mansion mile to a private island of BBQ, vaudeville, and gator shows. Gloriously retro, knowingly corny, and somehow still the city's happiest evening.
Fort Lauderdale Beach
Seven miles of the state's most civilized sand — the wave-wall promenade, clear Atlantic water, volleyball and snorkel coves north, café rows across the boulevard, and a beach culture that grew up without losing the tan. Free, all of it.

Pier Sixty-Six Hotel & Marina
★★★★★
The spire is back — Fort Lauderdale's 1965 icon reopened in 2025 after a billion-dollar rebuild, rotating Pier Top lounge spinning again over a superyacht marina, with new towers, spa, and restaurant row beneath it. The city's stay of the moment.
