The Best Romantic Hotels in Fort Lauderdale (2025)

Fort Lauderdale is famous for its white-sand beaches, scenic canals, and a lively restaurant scene. While many hotels focus on families or business travellers, there are plenty of options for couples seeking a getaway. Our experts have selected the best romantic hotels, from luxury oceanfront stays with stunning views to smaller boutique properties offering privacy and charm. Whether you want high-end indulgence or a quiet, off-the-beaten-path retreat, these hotels deliver comfort, style, and the right setting for a memorable couples’ escape.

For a boutique

• For the young and hip, The Dalmar will fit the bill. Contemporary rooms are minimalist in design with large rain-showers, sink-into beds and vast spans of glass lending wonderful city views - ideal spaces to spend days in bed! However, if you do leave, there are some superb cocktails served in the bar and a lovely outdoor pool.

For a luxury stay

• For a true luxury experience, the all-suite Conrad Fort Lauderdale is a perfect choice. Spacious rooms offer large living areas and private terraces with wonderful sea views. Complete with a spa offering couples' treatments, a pool with cabanas, and a choice of three restaurants - this is ideal for an indulgent break for two.
• Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale is a 'has-it-all' hotel. The real highlight is the direct beach access, however, the suites are indulgent to say the least, with deep bathtubs, spacious enough for two. Expect all the luxury trimmings including fine dining and a full-service spa.

For the nightlife

• The sleek W Fort Lauderdale is an achingly hip choice. Minimalist rooms offer all the latest technology plus decadent bathrooms. With a choice of five excellent restaurants headed by James Beard Award winning Restaurateur Stephen Starr, and easy access to the sizzling nightlife of downtown Fort Lauderdale, this is an ideal choice for couples who want to make the most of the city's scene.

For a hideaway

• The Pillars is an elegant colonial-style property tucked away on the banks of the Intercoastal Waterway. Romantic rooms are filled with antiques, dinners can be served dockside, and a lovely pool is surrounded by verdant gardens. The city's main attractions are just a water taxi ride away, however, you could equally just cosy up here and not leave!
