Hotel · Fort Lauderdale, Florida

The Dalmar, Fort Lauderdale

Who it’s NOT for: Beach-at-the-door travelers — it's DOWNTOWN, not on the sand; the beach is a Water-Taxi/rideshare away (~10–15 min). Travelers wanting a big beach-resort pool scene or a lazy river — the pool is a design-forward rooftop, not a resort water complex. Anyone wanting grand-luxury service — it's a lifestyle/design hotel, polished but not Four Seasons/Ritz tier. Quiet-seclusion seekers who dislike an urban high-rise setting — this is a downtown tower, not a hushed retreat.

Biggest surprise: the rooftop — a ~100-ft saltwater infinity pool + the 25th-floor Sparrow bar with sweeping city-to-coast views make a downtown hotel feel like a scene, and it's the closest of our luxury field to Wilton Manors.

Worth the money? yes for a boating/canals or LGBTQ+ traveler who wants a design-forward, walkable downtown base near Las Olas + the New River + Wilton Manors, with a standout rooftop.

Best room: a higher-floor room or suite with a balcony for the downtown-to-beach view; the mid-century-modern design rooms are the identity. Exact top-suite name not verified this pass — confirm on the official site. The rooftop infinity pool + Sparrow (25th floor) are the draws to book around.
