Have stayed here at least 10 times since opening day. Physical plant and service definitely need some tuning up. Hopefully they will get their act together soon and justify five stars.

Room 1108 .....absolutely beautiful room, view and service! When we arrived the evening of May 1st, Front Desk Manager, Sarah Bitzer made sure we had a room and level of service we would expect staying at the Ritz-Carlton Ft. Lauderdale. We were not disappointed. We had stayed at two other competing properties over the past year and Sarah wanted to... More

Went on a girls' trip to Ft. Lauderdale to soak up some sun. Instead, we were soaked by a three day monsoon like storm. The wind made the rain horizontal, so we could barely even leave the hotel. Thanks to the Ritz for making our stay so pleasant, with the fabulous bathroom, delicious food, and Gerard in the bar pouring... More

Ritz Carlton is always a RItz Carlton. Beautiful hotel, great great room, ocean view, nice pool and very good location. Service was not so incrediable - Restaurants are not so organized and I have to pay for internet in a hotels like that.

It seems to be getting more popular as it was a little 'quiet' on earlier visits especially just after... More

I stayed here for a conference and loved it. It's located right on the beach and there are plenty of dining, shopping and nightlife options within walking distance. I took a cab from the airport instead of renting a car and it was only $25 including tip. The hotel has a pool, cabanas, a fitness center, restaurant, bar and several... More

We also received $100 for the spa and Continental breakfast, as part of the Platinum American Express Program. 10th floor overlooking the... More

I stayed at this hotel in February for 2 nights. There was an issue w the room's carpet. I'm pretty sure the previous guest had an accident. The room had an overpowering smell of cleaner when we walked in. About an hour later, I noticed my feet were wet when I walked by the side of the bed. I was... More
