The Best 5-Star Hotels in Fort Lauderdale

Lying 25 miles north of Miami, Fort Lauderdale is a favourite for sunbathers, cruisers and party animals; the boulevards are crammed with gourmet eateries and seriously cool bars, the coastline a long stretch of hot white sand. The best five star hotels in Fort Lauderdale definitely cater to this sort of crowd, considering the prevalence of luxury getaways, decadent resorts with sumptous restaurants, and pampering islands of indulgence - we've found all of Fort Lauderdale's best five star hotels. Don't miss out!

For families

• Conrad Fort Lauderdale is an all-suite luxury tower standing high above Fort Lauderdale. The suites are smart, bursting with light, and Art Deco flourishes. Then there's the pampering spa, the cabanas, fabulous oval shaped pool, the poolside bar, and three restaurants to choose from. The kids will love the kids club for ages 4-17 with its huge range of marine based activities.

For relaxation

• You can't get more indulgent than the Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale, undoubtedly one of the best of Fort Lauderdale's five-stars. This island of luxury perches on the beach, the swimming pool almost fading into the sea. Spacious rooms and suites boast balconies (most with ocean views) and are luxuriously appointed, while the delightful spa focuses on detoxifying treatments, and the morning yoga is a rejuvenating way of starting the day.

For foodies

• Chic and sleek, W Fort Lauderdale is one of the best five star hotels in Fort Lauderdale for foodies because of its cuisine: five restaurants, all unique, are headed by the award-winning chef Stephen Starr and include a steak house, Mexican and Sushi Restaurant. The rooms boast floor-to-ceiling windows; the beds are sink-into, and the colour schemes appropriately nautical.
