PREMIERE HOTEL, Fort Lauderdale

The hotel is located on A1A, just across the street from the beach in one of the quieter sections of Fort Lauderdale's beachfront. Within a short walk, you will find several restaurants (Wine Garden, Vegan Bruder, Atlas, The Plaza Bistro, The Royal Palms Resort Bar & Grill, Cornucopia, S3 Sun Surf Sand Restaurant, and Takato are all within 0.3-0.5 km). Las Olas Boulevard, known for its boutiques, dining, and evening entertainment, is a 10-minute taxi ride away. Galleria Mall is 2 km from the property. The Broward County Convention Center and Fort Lauderdale International Airport are 12 km (approximately 20 minutes by car) and 12 km away, respectively. Sawgrass Mills outlet mall is about a 30-minute drive. The cruise port is a 15-minute Uber ride from the hotel.

The hotel offers a range of room types: Single Room (1 Queen bed, sleeps 1), Hotel Room (1 King bed, sleeps 1-2), Efficiency Room (2 Queen beds, sleeps 1-2), and Suite (2 Queen or 2 Double beds, sleeps 1-6). Many rooms include a kitchenette with a microwave, stovetop, refrigerator, coffee maker, and toaster; some even have a full-size oven. All rooms have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a DVD player, Wi-Fi, and a private bathroom (though bathrooms can be small). Beds are widely noted for their comfort, and housekeeping refreshes rooms daily - a rarity at this price point. Rooms are basic but well-maintained and spotlessly clean. The property does not have balconies. Some rooms face the road and can be noisy; room location cannot be guaranteed, so light sleepers may wish to request a quieter room.

Breakfast is included for all guests and is served from 7:00 to 11:00. The buffet includes scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, cheese, bagels, croissants, waffles, fresh fruit (apples, bananas, grapes), bread, fruit juices, coffee, tea, cereal, and yogurt. Hot items (eggs, bacon) are brought out at 8:00 - if you are an early riser, be aware that the full selection is not available at 7:00. The breakfast area, set in a library-style room, can become crowded at peak times. On-site, the Café & Bar serves handmade pizza, craft beers, and boutique wines in the evenings. The property also brews its own beer on-site. Guests can use the barbecue area with outdoor tables for self-catered meals. There is no full restaurant on the property, but many dining options (Wine Garden, Vegan Bruder, Atlas, etc.) are within a 5-minute walk.

The hotel features two outdoor swimming pools: a main saltwater pool with a view of the ocean and a second pool in the back, one of which is heated year-round. Both pools have a shallow end, a fence around them, and sun loungers and umbrellas. Pool/beach towels are provided at the lobby at no charge. For the beach, guests can take complimentary chairs, umbrellas, and towels - just step across the street. Unlimited bottled water is available at the front desk or lobby. The property also provides free children's sand toys and pool safety floats. There is no spa or fitness centre on site. Mosquitoes can be present around the pool area in the evenings.

Wi-Fi is complimentary and works well throughout the property, including on the beach. Parking is free for one vehicle per room on a first-come, first-served basis; when the lot is full, a free valet service is available. The hotel can receive and hold online shopping packages for guests. A 24-hour front desk provides private check-in/check-out, key card access, and safety deposit boxes. Luggage storage is available before check-in or after check-out, and guests are welcome to use the pool and beach facilities on their departure day, with access to a shower before heading to the airport. There is no laundry on site, but a laundromat is about 4 blocks away. BBQ facilities and a picnic area are available. The property has a lift and accessible rooms with wheelchair access, a lower bathroom sink, raised toilet, and grab rails. Pets are allowed at no extra charge in designated pet-friendly rooms (advance notice required).
