Everyone loves treating themselves to an ultra-luxe vacation—and half the fun is enjoying the amenities of a high-end hotel.

One of the main draws of this property is its unbeatable location. Situated between two waterfronts—the Intercoastal and the glimmering Atlantic Ocean—residents can enjoy breathtaking waterfront views on both sides, and unrivaled views of the gorgeous South Florida sunset.
“This type of oceanfront opportunity no longer exists in Miami at any price,” said Jorge Pérez, Founder and Chairman of The Related Group, upon the property’s sale to the prestigious development company. “[We’ve created] a fresh, contemporary version of a beach home for people who want to own a piece of a branded hotel environment.”

With its expert knowledge in luxury residential design, The Related Group took on the task of reimagining 171 residences throughout the property’s West Tower, resulting in a flawless revamp of the property’s rooms and public spaces. The residences, as well as the hotel’s oceanfront pool area, lobby and Living Room bar, have been curated by award-winning design house, Meyer Davis Studio, bringing forth a modern, beach-cool design boasting stark white interiors accented by shades of deep blue and gray to match the bright blue oceanfront setting. The bedrooms boast contemporary open bath areas in the master bedroom, as well as sleek kitchen designs with state-of-the-art appliances. Each unit comes fully furnished and is offered in a variety of floorplans to fit the best needs of your home.

Aside from the luxurious living spaces, residents of the property get to take advantage of the world-class amenities that the W offers. One of the most striking features of the re-design is the gorgeous Living Room bar area, which features a gorgeous main bar with various lounge areas scattered throughout the enormous space, including couches and tables outside facing the beautiful white, sandy beaches of Fort Lauderdale. It’s the perfect place to sit back with a glass of wine and watch the sun set on the water. Each night, the lounge offers live entertainment, from jazz music to live DJs and so much more. Adjacent to the Living Room Bar is also an intimate sushi bar where guests can dine on delectable sushi, sashimi and light bites from the signature sushi restaurant.

One floor above is the hotel pool, completely redesigned and modernized to boast a very Instagram-worthy glass encasing that allows guests to see through the bottom of the pool and take photos. Guests can enjoy full dining and drink service, as well as live DJs on the weekends.

And one of the most exceptional aspects of the W Fort Lauderdale is the on-property dining, featuring two restaurants from famed restaurateur, Stephen Starr: Steak 954 and the newly-opened El Vez. The first offers contemporary American food, boasting a delectable menu of steaks and delicious, fresh seafood with a lengthy wine list. The latter is a lively Mexican-themed eatery featuring an inventive menu of upscale Mexican dishes from steak and carnitas tacos to a Mexican-inspired, spicy branzino and crispy snapper dish.

An entire page of innovative Margaritas and tequila-infused libations is set to accompany the meal. And for dessert, you must try the sweet and crunchy churros with sweet and spicy chocolate dipping sauces. The restaurant is the perfect setting to dine with family, celebrate a birthday, bachelor/bachelorette party or just enjoy a delicious comfort meal during the week. The space is decorated with beautiful accent lighting, a centralized circular bar area and walls adorned with vintage Mexican beer cans. Residents are lucky enough to access both restaurants right on property and receive a special residents’ discount when dining at any of the locations on site.

Additionally, another perk that residents have when living within the hotel space is that the W allows owners to put the units up for rent with the hotel when they’re gone. Since a majority of owners are snowbirds, owners have the ability to allow the hotel to rent the units during the months where they’re gone so that the property can get full use and maintain its value year-round.
