The Grand Resort and Spa
Resort · Fort Lauderdale, FL
About
The Grand Resort and Spa is best for gay men seeking a relaxed, upscale getaway without the hypersexualized vibe of some other resorts. It's Fort Lauderdale's largest gay-owned men's spa resort, with 33 rooms, a clothing-optional pool, and a full-service spa and hair studio. The property is a converted 1970s hotel, but the management has modernized it with clean lines and Pottery Barn-style decor. Guests consistently praise the friendly atmosphere and the chance to make new friends.
Location is a key draw: steps from the beach and close to nightlife. The spa is the standout amenity, according to reviews. The gym is decent, but the spa treatment is a must. This is an adults-only space where you can relax, swim, and enjoy the sun. It's not a party scene, but a place to vacation alone or with a partner. If you're staying longer, consider the W Fort Lauderdale for a different experience, but The Grand offers a more intimate, community feel.
The Grand Resort and Spa is located in Fort Lauderdale Beach, just steps from the ocean and close to nightlife.

From the community
The hotel was originally built in the 70s and has been converted, but they did a great job with it. Rooms are nice with comfortable beds, though the layout is limited by the old architecture. They shine in how they present things like the rooms and office. The gym is fine, but the spa is outstanding. I'd suggest stopping by the spa during a stay. Being close to the ocean is a plus for late beach walks. Great location.

I really like this hotel. It feels clean and nice, with a sexy vibe that isn't too sexual or predatory. You can walk to the beach, though the gay beach is a bit farther.

“Weekend Get Away”
I spent four days here this past weekend and had a great time. Rooms are excellent, very clean, and the staff is wonderful. Guests are welcoming, and I made several new friends. It's a fantastic spot to unwind, have fun, and let loose.

“Just stayed here in off season for anniversary”
The Grand is a nice, modern hotel with great staff. It's kept up well, very clean, and has an understated style with brown decor and bright orange pool towels. This is a good spot for solo or couple vacations in a relaxed setting. It's not focused on sexuality; there are other Florida places for that. The Grand is an adult-oriented resort that takes that seriously.
