The 650-room Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa is an upscale, family-friendly property along the beach. Renovated in 2016, rooms are sleek and modern, featuring either city, Intracoastal, or ocean views, as well as well-stocked minibars, coffeemakers, and hairdryers. Suites add Keurig machines and pullout sofas. The resort fee is high but covers a lot, from Wi-Fi and welcome drinks to non-motorized water sports, though the kids' club costs extra. There are several options for food, plus an on-site Starbucks and juice bar. Those looking for a more central location or trendier vibe can compare rates and features to the W Fort Lauderdale, which has two pools and hosts nightly activities.

Renovated in 2017, the 517-room W Fort Lauderdale is a trendy, upscale hotel located across the street from the beach. Young professionals are drawn to the hotel's hip vibe, artsy decor, and lively event schedule. The entire food program, including a steakhouse, Mexican eatery, sushi bar, and dedicated menus for dogs, is helmed by Celebrity Chef Steven Starr, and the bar menu sports creative cocktails. Two rooftop pools provide space to either party or relax, plus spa treatments are available. A hefty resort fee covers beach chairs and umbrellas, Wi-Fi, the gym, and two four-hour bike rentals. Rooms are chic, but not all have balconies, and many have a glass shower open to the bedroom, creating privacy issues for some. For a less bustling and pricy option, consider the historic and modern B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale.

The upscale B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale is an excellent value (even with its high daily resort fee) thanks to streamlined interiors, a pretty beachfront location, and quality features. Plush beds, contemporary decor, and amenities such as Keurig coffeemakers, free Wi-Fi, and mini-fridges make the hotel’s 481 rooms appealing. On the downside, some units are showing some wear and tear, and many lack balconies. The biggest hits here are the fine-sand beach, two pleasant pools, and underwater mermaid shows -- but the hotel also features a popular seafood restaurant, a small spa, and 24-hour gym. Families may prefer the Westin Beach Resort & Spa, which has a kids' club.
