Hotel · Fort Lauderdale, FL

About

Residence Inn by Marriott Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal/Il Lugano is best suited for LGBTQ+ travelers who want a quiet, upscale home base with kitchen amenities. Originally the condo-hotel Il Lugano, it gained a loyal gay following by hosting parties and fundraisers. The property is now a Marriott, retaining its fully equipped rooms with gourmet kitchens and in-room spa treatments. The pool is modest, but free transportation within three miles makes the beach and nightlife easily accessible.

The hotel sits in a tranquil area of Fort Lauderdale Beach, far enough from the bustle to relax. One guest noted the "great restaurant, nice pool, walking distance to beach" and easy taxi access to bars. If you want a livelier scene, the W Fort Lauderdale is a nearby option with a buzzy pool.

The hotel is located in Fort Lauderdale Beach, a quiet area still close to the beach and local nightlife.

“Wonderful hotel and staff”

We really enjoyed every aspect of our stay. The restaurant was excellent, the pool area was pleasant, and the beach was within walking distance; cabs were also conveniently available to take us to nearby restaurants and bars. We would definitely come back.
