Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina

While the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina basks in the aura of multi-million-dollar yachts tied at its feet, the property flaunts a panache of its own. Equipped with 19 chic, newly renovated conference rooms, the hotel hosts everything from executive retreats to company-wide events for up to 1,100 associates. A full-service business center, seasoned caterers, and professional planners make it a breeze to balance work and play in the year-round sun of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The Broward County Convention Center lies right across the street, but the 589 guest rooms and suites focus mostly on Fort Lauderdale’s main intracoastal channel in the opposite direction. Every guest room has floor-to-ceiling windows and a patio or balcony overlooking the shimmering blue water. In fact, some guests park their yachts in Hilton’s docking facility just to enjoy such land-based attractions as the state-of-the-art fitness center, Elements Pool & Deck, poolside dining at The G, light bites and refreshments at the cafe-lounge Antea, and fine dining on Asian-inspired cuisine at the signature restaurant China Grill.

Off-site incentives range from shopping at the Galleria Mall or Las Olas Boulevard to beach walks, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, championship golf, and thrilling nightlife. The Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi stops regularly at the dock, leading guests off to discover the endless beauty and diverse offerings along the city’s 300 miles of waterways.
