Coastal Luxury at the Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale

From the moment you enter the Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale, you’re welcomed into a bright, beautifully curated space that reflects its nautical surroundings in the most refined way. The light-toned marbling throughout the property, especially in the guest rooms, feels airy and elegant, with subtle coastal design nods that never feel kitschy—just classic and crisp. My room was both stylish and comfortable, offering floor-to-ceiling views that reminded me at every turn why this stretch of Florida coast is so beloved.

The service was outstanding across every touchpoint—every staff interaction felt intentional and elevated, with surprising personal touches that made the stay feel special and thoughtful. Even during a bit of weekend rain, the property shined. A charming mini putt-putt setup just outside the lobby made for a playful and memorable detour.

The hotel’s beach club was another standout. Just steps across the street, Four Seasons staff ensured everything was seamless: umbrellas, chairs, cold water, and easy access to a calm, pristine ocean. Whether you’re planning to spend the day on the sand or just pop over for a quick swim, it’s wonderfully convenient and luxurious.

Dining was a major highlight. Evelyn’s offers vibrant, fresh Mediterranean-inspired plates in a chic yet approachable atmosphere, while MAASS delivered a refined, unforgettable experience—especially its Michelin-starred tasting menu, which was the crown jewel of our culinary experience. And beyond food, the pool, spa, and gym are beautifully done, making wellness and relaxation central to the overall stay. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with friends, or treating yourself to a solo escape, this hotel delivers.

Pistachio cookies—a must

The hotel is centrally located along Fort Lauderdale Beach, within walking distance from local cafés, shops, and nightlife, but tucked away just enough to feel like a tranquil retreat. The beach club staff are incredibly helpful, but it’s worth heading over early on weekends for your pick of chair placement. Evelyn’s is a must for an elevated brunch (bottomless mimosas, of course), and if MAASS is offering a tasting menu while you visit, don’t hesitate to book it. Spa treatments can fill up quickly, especially on weekends—reserve ahead of time. And while it’s a fantastic destination year-round, this property shines brightest as a winter or spring escape when the ocean is calm, the sun is out, and the Four Seasons’ hospitality takes center stage.
