Room, 1 Bedroom, Balcony, Ocean View

This room faces the Atlantic Ocean and opens onto a private balcony, so you can take in the sea views from your own space. The hotel sits right beside Fort Lauderdale Beach, so the view matches the setting.

The bedroom has 1 King Bed, and the separate living area has 1 Double Sofa Bed. Together they sleep up to 4 guests. The separate living area gives a second sleeping space its own room, which suits two couples or a family. Children 12 and older are charged as adults, so bear that in mind when planning a group of four.

The suite measures 914 sq. ft. and is a true one-bedroom. The bedroom is separate from the living area, which has the sofa bed. Floors are tile with an area rug, and blackout drapes help with sleeping in after a day on the beach.

The private bathroom has a deep soaking bathtub and a separate shower with a height-adjustable showerhead. It is stocked with designer toiletries, bathrobes, slippers, towels and a hair dryer.

Yes. The room has wheelchair-width doorways, lever door handles, a low-height door lock, a low-height view port in the door, and low-height electrical outlets in the bathroom. The shower and the toilet both have grab bars at 33 inches high, and the showerhead is height-adjustable. There is also braille and raised signage, a closed-captioned TV and a visual fire alarm. The hotel offers valet parking for vehicles equipped for drivers in wheelchairs.

A mandatory nightly resort fee applies at The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale. It covers beach access, beach loungers and towels, fitness center access and in-room bottled water, along with in-room coffee. The hotel describes in-room Wi-Fi as complimentary. The fitness center is open 24 hours for hotel guests and has two Peloton bikes.

The hotel is adjacent to Fort Lauderdale Beach. A private skywalk links the 7th-floor pool deck to the sand without crossing the street. The 29,000-sq-ft pool deck has a heated infinity pool overlooking the Atlantic, and Sea la Vie Sundeck serves drinks and small bites there. On site, Burlock Coast Seafare & Spirits serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the Marketplace at Burlock Coast sells coffee and grab-and-go items.

It suits both. The hotel markets itself as family-friendly and welcomes children of all ages. The separate bedroom and living area give a couple or a family of up to four room to spread out. The soaking tub and ocean-facing balcony add to the romantic appeal. Because the balcony is an outdoor space, families with young children may want to speak to the hotel before arrival.

Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. Guests must be at least 21 to check in and need a photo ID and credit card at the desk. Valet parking is available on site, and rates are shown on the hotel's own site. Pets up to 25 lbs are welcome for a non-refundable fee, and service animals are welcome at no charge.
