Tucked along the pristine shores of Fort Lauderdale, the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences redefines coastal luxury with its harmonious blend of yacht-inspired elegance and vibrant hospitality. This winter, the city’s only Five Diamond hotel invites travelers to bask in its sun-soaked charm, where art, wellness, and world-class amenities converge to create an unforgettable escape.
Fort Lauderdale’s balmy winter temperatures, averaging a delightful 70–75°F, make it a prime destination for escaping the seasonal chill. Soft golden sands stretch out beneath a brilliant blue sky, the rhythmic sound of waves providing a calming soundtrack to the day. Stroll along the beach with warm sun on your face, embark on scenic boat tours through the shimmering waters of the Intracoastal Waterway, or lose yourself in the dappled light of Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. For those craving a cultural journey, the historic Bonnet House Museum and Gardens beckons with its lush, tropical grounds, while the Museum of Discovery and Science offers hands-on adventures for all ages.
At the heart of this coastal paradise lies the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale, a sanctuary of understated opulence where sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, and ocean breezes carry the faint scent of salt air into impeccably designed spaces. With its yacht-club aesthetic and thoughtfully curated experiences, the property offers a seamless blend of approachability and sophistication. Guests are greeted by sweeping ocean and Intracoastal views, two sparkling horizon-edge pools catering to families and adults alike, and a walkable neighborhood alive with the hum of boutique shops and tranquil parks. Sip handcrafted cocktails at Honey Fitz, a café-meets-champagne bar exuding nautical elegance with polished finishes and cozy corners, or savor the Eastern Mediterranean-inspired menu at Evelyn’s, where the aroma of freshly baked pita mingles with the gentle crash of waves just beyond the terrace. Rates start at $599, with attentive beach attendants ensuring that every moment is effortlessly luxurious.
This winter, the property unveils a series of exclusive experiences designed to elevate your stay. From December through mid-March, immerse yourself in the Great Elephant Migration Art Exhibit, a globally renowned installation that fills the hotel’s airy interiors with a tranquil yet thought-provoking presence. Each piece tells a story of indigenous knowledge and conservation, inviting viewers to connect with the world in unexpected ways. For wellness seekers, the hotel’s spa introduces an exclusive collaboration with celebrity aesthetician Pietro Simone. The “Lift Corrective Facial” offers a rejuvenating blend of science and artistry, leaving skin luminous and refreshed. Afterward, refresh your palate with a vibrant mocktail at Evelyn’s or indulge in the soothing ritual of Afternoon Tea at Honey Fitz, where the fragrant notes of fine teas mingle with delicate pastries. January brings even more culinary delights during Visit Lauderdale’s Food & Wine Festival, where Evelyn’s Chef Brandon Salomon teams up with Miami’s Boia De to craft a menu bursting with creativity and bold, unexpected flavors.
Beyond its art and dining experiences, the Four Seasons offers an array of luxurious touches that delight the senses. The tranquil hum of the 2,250 sq. ft. state-of-the-art fitness center invites wellness at any pace, while the gentle hum of custom yellow electric MOKEs adds a playful touch to local explorations. The spa, adorned with salt wall saunas, aroma steam baths, and ice fountains, provides a haven where you can sink into serenity as time slows. Every corner of the property reflects the city’s vibrant evolution, from its elegant guest rooms and suites to its stunning private residences, many offering panoramic views that stretch to the horizon.
Whether you’re relaxing on the sprawling Ocean Sun Deck, marveling at the artistry of the Great Elephant Migration, or strolling Fort Lauderdale’s beachfront boulevard beneath the gentle sway of palm trees, the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale delivers the ultimate coastal-chic lifestyle.
