Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale

The place

Steps from the beachfront in Fort Lauderdale, Tara Bernerd’s interiors cross mid-century design with the ease of the European Riviera. The 189 rooms keep to soothing tones — elegant retro furnishings, a marble bathroom, a private balcony open to the sea air.

Two outdoor pools face the ocean, one reserved for adults, one for families. The spa holds saunas, steam rooms, treatment rooms, and a fitness center that never closes. Four culinary experiences share the address: Evelyn’s turns to the Eastern Mediterranean, MAASS to innovative American dishes.
