Fort Lauderdale Area Florida Hotels, Lodging and Bed and Breakfasts

Turquoise waters, sapphire skies, platinum sands, emerald palms. Immerse yourself in Greater Fort Lauderdale, with 23 miles of palm-fringed Florida shoreline from Dania Beach / Hollywood in the south to Pompano Beach / Deerfield Beach in the north. Culture, nature, shopping, dining and nightlife — you’ll find it all in Greater Fort Lauderdale.

Water is a defining element of Greater Fort Lauderdale, framed on the east by the majestic Atlantic, and bordered on the west by the exotic Everglades, a one-of-a-kind ecosystem teeming with spectacular flora and fauna and home to the Seminole Indians. Between the two, the Intracoastal Waterway and a canal system reminiscent of Venice winds gently through the interior, connecting world-class boutiques, galleries and restaurants with museums, theaters and nightspots.
Festivals and fairs, sporting events and parades, on land and on water and in the air — there’s always something fun to do in Greater Fort Lauderdale. A mecca for the avid sportsperson, the area features endless holes of golf, miles of wilderness trails for hiking and biking, unsurpassed snorkeling, diving and deep sea fishing, premier thoroughbred horseracing at Gulfstream Park, Florida Panthers ice hockey at the state-of-the-art BankAtlantic Center and interactive exhibits at the International Game Fish Association’s Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum.
