With a curvilinear design recalling the grand ocean liners of yesteryear, The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale pays homage to its waterfront location on Florida's Gold Coast. The 24,000 square feet of refined, state-of-the-art meeting space coupled with Ritz-Carlton standards of service promise unforgettable events in an enviable setting.
The Grand Ballroom and generous foyer area accommodate the largest affairs. Elaborately stitched wall panels, distinctive Mies van der Rohe benches, period furniture with modern flair, and Yugoslavian crystal chandeliers establish a mood of unmitigated opulence. The similarly appointed Astor Ballroom stands by for smaller affairs, while the John Jacob Boardroom caters to VIP groups with a custom conference table, deluxe executive chairs, and a flat-screen monitor for presentations. Floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors leading to a private terrace afford spectacular ocean views.
When not engaged in meetings, group members have the best of everything at their disposal—beginning in their accommodations. Standard features include bedside master control panels, Italian marble baths, and flat-screen TVs for bedrooms and bathrooms alike.
Other highlights include a trip to the state-of-the-art fitness facility, complete with Techogym equipment, or the spa, where guests indulge in luxurious treatments. The culinary options on-site include Italian specialties at Via Luna, and rare vintages served with a bar menu in the Wine Room. Plus, Fort Lauderdale's many fine eateries, boutiques, and dynamic nightlife wait just a short cab ride away.

Recommendation to Planners:
I have planned several meeting with this hotel and they are always superior in sales, service and overall experience . The location is beautiful and convenient. The staff is always very helpful and as professional as you would expect from The Ritz Carlton. Our groups are typically around 35-40 people. We continue to use the location throughout the fall and winter months for our events.
