In true celeb fashion, you can perfect that bikini body with beach boot camp sessions, soothe your soul with sunrise yoga, and sink into sumptuous spa treatments with intracoastal views. Even the dining’s A-list, with creative Mexican dishes and tequilas at El Vez, and innovative twists on steakhouse classics by award-winning Stephen Starr at Steak 954, with its hypnotic jellyfish tank backdrop.

I've been a frequent visitor to the W Ft Lauderdale over the last 14yrs and Raul Lopez and the numerous staff members both old and new have become like family! They are extremely attentive to all my needs and my family and I will only stay at the W Ft Lauderdale when I visit.

W has a cool design outside and inside. Mega is the perfect room for us, especially for my partner, with the separate, oversized bathtub. The sea view is beautiful, even from the side (without ocean front view). Staff was friendly and efficient.
