Best Florida Resort Hotel  

In the heart of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a short stroll from Lauderdale by the Sea Beach and Sea Ranch Village Shopping Center. This small Mediterranean-style hotel sits by the sea and is close to Anglins Fishing Pier, Fort Lauderdale Beach and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park.

Quaint, Mediterranean vibe with garden views and a very personal feel—only 12 air-conditioned rooms. Rooms include kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, safes and desks, plus private bathrooms with tubs or showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Free Wi-Fi throughout and handy extras like baggage storage, BBQ/picnic spots and concierge services.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or relax in the garden. Concierge and a tour desk help you book local excursions. On‑site conveniences include laundry and dry cleaning, car rental and limo/town car service. On-site parking is available but limited—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and quick access to the sand.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Features include express check-in and express check-out and a 24-hour front desk for flexible arrival and departure.

Barbecue and picnic facilities let you keep dining simple and casual on-site. A short walk brings you to nearby options like Parisienne By The Sea for French fare and Funky Buddha Brewery for a local brew.
