Reminiscent of a luxury liner with its dramatic tiers and sweeping curves, this stunning glass-walled hotel is ideally located in South Florida.
The 24-storey Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale underwent a thorough renovation in 2015 which included an all-new restaurant and bar, transformation of the lobby, new retail outlets, and a spa makeover. It features 192 guest rooms and suites, a 2,200 square foot Club Lounge, 24,000 square feet of light-filled meeting space, a 29,000 square foot oceanfront sundeck with an infinity pool and private cabanas, a new destination spa with an organic and botanical treatment menu, and a water-view fitness centre.
The new daily marketplace café and Island Company retail store also provide guests with casual offerings to be enjoyed at leisure, adding to the overall relaxed, chic ambiance. Burlock Coast, the property’s signature, oceanfront restaurant. welcomes hotel guests, visitors and locals alike with its indoor/outdoor bar and fresh seafood centric menu.
A new energy has been brought to the culinary team with the recent appointments of master chef Fabien Gnemmi as the food and beverage director and Gavin Pera as executive sous chef of the resort. Additionally, the property welcomes television’s Hell’s Kitchen season five finalist, Paula DaSilva, as chef de cuisine of Burlock Coast. Known for her imaginative, farm-fresh dishes rich with the flavours of South Florida’s abundant flora and fauna, Paula’s soulful cooking style will further add to the restaurant’s excellent reputation.
