Room, Balcony, Partial Ocean View (, Tub)

This 391 sq. ft. room at The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale has a private balcony with partial ocean views. Expect glimpses of the water rather than a full, unobstructed panorama. The hotel sits above the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway, so the outlook is distinctly coastal.

The room has 2 Queen Beds in a one-bedroom layout and sleeps up to 4 guests. The beds are dressed with down comforters, and bed sheets are changed on request. That makes it a good fit for two couples, friends or a family. The hotel welcomes children of all ages, though guests 12 and over are charged as adults.

This category includes accessibility features: wheelchair-width doorways, lever door handles, a low-height door lock and view port, and low-height electrical outlets in the bathroom. It also has braille/raised signage, a visual fire alarm and a closed captioned TV. The bathroom has an accessible bathtub, grab bars 33 inches high by the shower and toilet, and a height-adjustable showerhead. Valet parking for vehicles outfitted for drivers in wheelchairs is also available.

The private bathroom has a deep soaking bathtub and a separate shower, with tile finishes. You'll find bathrobes, slippers, designer toiletries, towels and a hair dryer. It is a comfortable option for anyone who likes a long soak after a day on the beach.

A mandatory nightly resort fee applies, listed at $54.24 as of December 2025. It covers beach access, beach loungers and towels, fitness center access, in-room bottled water and coffee, and sporting facilities or equipment. The fitness center is open 24/7 to hotel guests and includes two Peloton bikes. In-room Wi-Fi is complimentary for hotel guests.

The hotel is adjacent to Fort Lauderdale Beach. A private skywalk links the 7th-floor pool deck directly to the sand without crossing the street. The heated infinity pool and the Sea la Vie Sundeck, a poolside bar and café, are on that deck. Burlock Coast Seafare & Spirits is the hotel's main restaurant. Its Marketplace serves Panther Coffee and grab-and-go items from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The two Queen beds suit families or small groups of up to four, and the hotel markets itself as family-friendly. A couple will also enjoy the extra space and the balcony. The property's outdoor spaces, including balconies, may not suit young children, so families with concerns are advised to contact 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 show a photo ID and credit card. Valet parking is available, and the hotel's site lists $65 per day. Pets up to 25 lbs are welcome for a non-refundable $250 fee per room per stay. Service animals are welcome without a fee.

December through April is widely cited as the best time, with the most reliable warm, dry weather, though it is also the busiest and most expensive period. November and late April are good shoulder-season options. The Atlantic is warmest, around 84°F, in September and October. That stretch falls within hurricane season (June 1 to November 30), and lower rates are typical in late summer.
