The Atlantic Hotel

I loved our stay in this hotel. The room really exceeded our expectation. The room, with two double beds, had basically a full kitchen complete with stove, fridge, pots and dinnerware, and sink. The bathroom was large with a shower, separate tub, double vanity and an enclose toilet with a telephone! Our room was facing the pool and the beach and we enjoyed a beautiful view of the sunrise. This is definitely a retreat without having to travel far. A must visit.

This hotel was wonderful. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They were ready and willing to help us with any questions or needs that we had during our stay. Jordan, especially, at the concierge desk was extremely helpful renting us a car for the day and recommending restaurants for us. The rooms were excellent. They were very nice and clean. Turndown service every night. The bathroom was amazing, huge with 2 sinks, a bathtub, shower and separate room with toilet. Also a nice kitchen area with a stovetop, microwave, small refrigerator and coffee maker with coffee. The pool and spa on the 5^th floor are great. You can’t get to any room floors without swiping your room card. I thought this was nice knowing people can’t just be roaming about the halls that shouldn’t be there. There is also a safe in the closet.
The location is nice. It seemed less packed than the more public areas of the beach. It’s not really within walking distance of many of the shops and restaurants. We did walk one night, but it was pretty far. We took an über back. Valet parking is $ 28 a night. There is no other parking. If you don’t have a car ask about the trolley and the golf cart service. Both are free. There are 2 restaurants at the hotel. A laid back outside pool bar/​restaurant on the 5^th floor. We ate there twice and the food was really good. And a more upscale restaurant on the first floor. We didn’t get a chance to eat there.
We had an overall great time here! I would absolutely stay again and recommend this hotel to everyone!

Such a beautiful hotel! The staff were all amazing and knew what you were going to ask for before you even asked! Would totally recommend and would stay here again!

Oh, I just love the Atlantic Hotel for so many reasons. The restaurant (Beaty & The Feast) is superb for any and all meals, rooms are clean and spacious, the pool is delightful, and the spa is beyond words.
I stayed for a couple of nights a few weeks back and had such a wonderful experience. The hotel is right on the beach and the location couldn’t be more perfect. Upon check-​in, we were upgraded to a gorgeous suite with breathtaking views of the ocean. Each day, I took advantage of the rooftop pool and the adjacent spa where I got the most incredible massage of my LIFE. A nice perk is that hotel guests are permitted to use all spa amenities (hottub, sauna, etc). The actual spa services are pretty reasonable too.
Staff were so lovely and helpful throughout our short stay. If and when I’m back in the area, there’s no doubt I’m staying here again.

I really liked the room which was an ocean king size suite. One of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in. The staff was very nice and the main restaurant Beauty and the Feast was very good. My only complaint was that I booked my reservation back in October or November when the air show was announced. At the time I requested a higher floor with an unobstructed view north from the hotel so I could enjoy the airshow from the balcony in the room. The room I received was 1107 which normally would have been an excellent room however, it did leave me with an obstruction and I could not fully enjoy the airshow. The staff tried to accommodate me but the only other room they had to offer would have been worse. So that was the disappointing part of my stay. The obstructed view was disappointing.

The Atlantic Hotel, located on Ft. Lauderdale Beach between Las Olas Blvd. and Sunrise is a perfect location for visitors from all over as well as us South Florida people who want to just enjoy Ft. Lauderdale Beach and the South Florida dining across from the beach on A1A for a weekend, never leaving the area. We call it a «staycation», and this is the perfect Hotel to take one.
My wife and I decided to take one of these «staycations» here because of it’s location and we wanted a weekend close to the beach. It was our anniversary and Mother’s day weekend and little did we know when we booked the hotel, it was also the weekend of the Ft. Lauderdale Air and Sea Show. It was perfect as we decided on the Florida Resident rate for a room that had a partial view, which really was a tremendous view of the beach and A1A looking north. Not much different in regards to the «Beachfront View» or the «Partial Beachfront View» in regards to your view.
The Hotel itself has a small, quaint lobby with beautiful artwork and comfortable couches and is really like a comfortable family room for friends to meet. First impressions are important as you walk into a hotel lobby, and mine was positive and knew that this hotel was well taken care of and clean.
Checking in was a little slow and the 2 people behind the desk did not see much urgency when the check in line was 5 deep and one of them was doing other things before he finally decided to help.
Here is the MAIN REASON I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a convenient place to vacation: THE GUEST ROOMS. We were so pleasantly surprised when we walked in and saw the size of the room. The hallway from the front door to the bedroom area is 20 feet long (yes I counted). The bedroom area is so spacious with deep drawers for clothes, and one huge closet. As I am typing this, I am using their real nice sized brown desk which is 7 feet across (counted this also). And right to my left is a large patio I step out to overlooking A1A and Ft. Lauderdale Beach, with incredible sunrises. It has comfortable wicker chairs and a table. You don’t need to leave your room to see the sunrise and take incredible pictures of the sunrise over the Atlantic.
Saving the best for last!!! What is in this long hallway? A huge bathroom on the right which has a large shower, separate bath tub, large double sink area and a separate room to do your private things, with a phone. I have never been to ANY luxury hotels with this size bathroom. On the left of the hallway is ANOTHER CLOSET, which makes 2 closets in this room.
HERE IS THE KICKER: This room has a full kitchen, minus the oven. A stove, large microwave, large sink and coffee maker, with plenty of Starbucks coffee to make. It has drawers with pot and pans, silverware and cooking utensils. It has cabinets with plates, bowls, water glasses, and wine and bear glasses. All within a large counter top area, plenty of room to work. Underneath by the large drawers is a large refrigerator, ready to be stocked up by the guest, yes, bring your own food and cook if you want. Stock the fridge with beer, wine and drinks. Save some money by doing this for sure and make it more fun. Great for families with kids to have this room as well.
On the 5^th floor, they have a full gym and spa, facing the ocean. The gym has plenty of cardio and weights and is spacious. Right outside of the gym, THE POOL, overlooking A1A, the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. The pool has a full bar and serves food. Main feature regarding their food is the large BBQ platter.
There are tables, couches and fabulous large cabana chairs, that could fit 4 people with comfortable chair padding and a cover you can easily pull up to stay out of the sun if you want, and NO CHARGE for these, but there are only a few, so if you want them you have to get down to the pool early. There is also a hot tub. We did pick a busy, confusing weekend because of he Air Show, and the service at the pool bar and pool was pretty poor. The bartenders and servers were working hard, but I think they just got slammed this weekend, so not a good time to judge the regular service on a normal weekend, although they should of been able to handle this. Sunday was the same story but worse. I found out, the food and bar are owned by a separate company aside from the Atlantic Hotel, the same company that owns Beauty and the Feast attached to the hotel. Their food and beverage service is the downfall of this hotel.
I really will be coming back here, next time bringing some food, wine and my own cocktails and beer, and would even stay longer. The room is as much fun as the pool!!!
Regarding an indoor bar and restaurant, The Atlantic Hotel has the Beauty and the Feast restaurant and bar attached, which would be another separate review.
The Atlantic Hotel is really a home away from home.

Came for a bday trip. Everything was exactly as described down to a tee. I was very comfy and the staff was helpful and attentive. We’ll hold on, except for the restaurant staff they sucked. Training issue to me as everyone is so laxed and somewhat nonchalant. That’s fine to mingle with customers but at times it could hurt ur business. Anyway nice room, very private and quiet even in the late am. Excellent location and lots of amenities.

I can only speak to the wedding package offered. My partner and I married there in mid-​March. The entire process from inquiry to delivery was nearly flawless. They worked within our budget, provided a wonderful space for the ceremony on the terrace, set up the chairs and lighting and provided a very cute little space for the reception (there were only 16 of us, so it worked well). The guests raved about the food (we provided seafood paella, herbed chicken and vegetarian pasta) and the servers were outstanding. The only reason they didn’t get 5 stars is because they forgot to post a sign to direct our guests to the wedding site (I know I’m being a picky bride — that’s what we do!)

So these stars are based off the valet staff. I know I wasn’t a hotel guest. I was told I could park there to go to the beach. However the man who was managing the valet staff was horrible. Bad attitude and didn’t care for anything.
On the plus side, the lobby bathroom offers free sea salt to wash your hands with!

The Atlantic Hotel is magical. I stayed for one night this past weekend and my only regret is I couldn’t stay longer! Our room was oceanfront and the view was absolutely breathtaking. I LOVED the bathroom, complete with a tub, shower, double vanity, and separate toilet room. The spa and gym both looked really nice but we didn’t have enough time to partake in those. The pool though… yes, always time for a pool. It’s on the 5^th floor along with a hot tub and bar area, all glorious. I could have spent a lot of time up there!
If I ever find myself in Ft. Lauderdale I would definitely want to stay in the Atlantic Hotel again!

My wife and I stayed 4 nights there, we had the king suite studio with partial ocean view. Check in was friendly and fast. The room was huge, nice décor, great bed, and spacious bathroom. It was very clean, and they did a nice job every time we had it serviced. Room service was great and pretty quick. The pool was very nice, and had plenty of chairs. The spa was nice, I had a foot reflexology massage. And the restaurant on site had good food, and good service. I would go back and would recommend if you are staying on the beach. Also a great location in the strip.

Big spacious room, clean bathroom, comfortable bed. The staff was very accommodating and attended to our needs promptly. Music in the bar was loud, but good drinks and great bartender.
Would stay here again!

Service here was great and the hotel is pretty clean! There’s conveniently a pool and a gym. The bar and restaurant attached to this hotel have great drinks and food. I’d stay here again if I’m ever in the area.

I am a local living in Florida, we came to this hotel and spa for our anniversary and by far had the best experience ever. The spa staff were absolutely unbelievable everybody was super friendly and nice I wasn’t used to such good service considering the fact that I live in South Florida and service at most places is terrible. The food at the restaurant was phenomenal I look forward to coming back in the future.
five stars all the way around

My partner and I stayed at The Atlantic in early September for a much needed getaway. After probably the worst day of flights in my life: delays, severe turbulence, etc., we were welcomed into the modern, sophisticated, but comfortable lobby by the handsome and personable Ron, the rooms manager. After some friendly conversation in which he inquired about our travel day, he went the extra mile by taking us up to our room personally and made sure we were settled in what we discovered would be one of the largest hotel rooms in which we’ve ever had the pleasure to stay.
The suite was comprised of four rooms: bedroom, sitting room, kitchenette, and a bathroom larger then some Chicago hotel rooms. The entire space was clean, elegant, comfortable, and well appointed. A balcony which had beach /​city views was the icing on the cake. We spent the majority of our room time there.
The fifth floor of the hotel is where the pool, gym, and spa are located. I’ve never had a finer view from a treadmill, but much of the weight equipment could stand for an update. But, the fairly wide selection of free weights was certainly a bonus.
We scheduled a couples massage for late in our stay, and we showed up for our 3:30PM appointment to be told there was «confusion» in the scheduling and were then chastised by the spa attendant because we didn’t answer the phone in our room when we didn’t show for the 3:00PM they had us booked for. (How many people are in their room mid-​day in Fort Lauderdale?) The manager did her best to make it right and had to shift the time which did not fit the best in our schedule, and it was hard to release tension due to the fact this would put us late for a meeting with friends. Saying that, Cornelia and Yipsy provided excellent combination Swedish/​deep tissue massages and seemed to genuinely care about our experience. We used the steam/​sauna twice during our stay and the facilities were hygienic and restful.
It was quite rainy during our visit, but when the skies cleared, we always made a visit to the pool. Much like our room, it was a clean, relaxing, stylish space with an amazing view and extended swimming hours. If we wanted a change of pace, the beach was only a simple walk across the street. Towel service was conveniently available both pool side and at the front desk. Another front of house standout employee is Doux. No matter if he was busy in all the comings and goings, he was still friendly and helpful.
Lisa, the concierge, is outgoing and super helpful.
Actually, we found most of the staff members to be great people who were passionate about their jobs and who helped the hotel feel like home in the best ways. There were a few duds on staff, usually in the restaurant or spa, who didn’t seem to posses the level of caring or service that most of the employees did. The thing is, most of the service is so good across the board, the employees who don’t keep up with that level of professionalism really stand out.
We enjoyed meals at Beauty and the Feast daily. Breakfast was always stellar with the exception of the fruit plate; simply because substituting melon for tropical fruits is disappointing. For lunch, the Shrimp Caesar, club sandwich, and burger were the standouts. And, you have to order the carrot cake with coconut gelato at least once. Patrick is the standout server. He was always friendly, attentive, and his conversational skills made us feel as if this was home away from home,
After five days our stay was over way too soon; The Atlantic feels like a Fort Lauderdale home away from home and we look forward to returning.
sigh. Why am I not there now?

This review is solely based on their monthly ‘Full Moon Party”. There was a picturesque full moon, but there was no party. Just a makeshift DJ doin his thing near the entrance of the hotel restaurant.
On the flyer and free mobile tickets I received, music entertainment, dancers and a fire show up on the fifth floor terrace were advertised. Plus there is a bar there as well. I know because I checked it out and it was ghostville.
One of the managers at the restaurant informed me that it was canceled due to «fear of rain». Besides no sign of rain, their flyer also says «rain or shine».
The Hilton, right down the street from Atlantic Hotel, showcases a monthly Full Moon Party as well. I have been and they actually have a great party. I believe Sunday, September 6^th from 7−10pm is the next one…
The Hilton Full Moon Party is worth the trip. One the other hand, the Atlantic Hotel Party is dicey and one I will forget about.

So, I was wavering back and forth between 3 and 4 stars on this one. I decided to go with the 4 stars due to the overall experience. We were choosing between this place and the W up the street, and after consulting with our fellow Unilocalers, decided upon The Atlantic. The Atlantic Hotel is situated right across the street from the beach on the A1A. We had a beautiful room that was probably close to 1200 sq feet, with a shower that literally might be the size of a small bedroom in someone’s home. I’m being serious too-​our well appointed suite’s shower-​not entire bathroom alone was 10×6! You could easily place a love seat and a recliner in there lol!
We had a beautiful view of the ocean from our large balcony and I’m wondering what their Presidential suite might look like if our suite was this size?! The property is within walking distance of most attractions including the best restaurants and the mall (you should check the humidity outside first before walking to the mall lol).
The pool was right below our suite so we could peer down there and see what was going on-​but who needs to go to the pool when you can get in a swim in the Ocean? There was a sighting of a shark on our last day which led to people looking as if they could run on top of the water as they got out lol.
Anyway I digress, back to the hotel-​the stay overall was 4 star worthy. The reason for my wavering originally was the small and dated gym (my husband and I are workout fiends) and the need for deep cleaning of the property. While aesthetically speaking everything was fine, the cleaning crew or someone should put some elbow grease into waving a duster and mop around. Even investing in a new vacuum instead of the ones we saw that appear to be straight out of the 70’s would help.
Overall, this was a wonderful place with an excellent and friendly staff. We’d stay again.

We stayed at the hotel 6 nights in a studio room with partial ocean view.
The front desk was super friendly.
The room was clean and it was cleaned every day.
What I like is that it has a small kitchen area with fridge, oven, microvawe and coffee mashine. So we could prepare breakfast at the room and eat it on the balcony enjoying ocean view.
Pool is open ²⁴⁄₇.

I was given a living social spa certificate as a birthday gift which included a 50 minute massage and express pedicure.
Unfortunately the day that I wanted to use the voucher, the manicurist was out, but they offered to upgrade my massage to the 75 minute massage. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The massage was great.
The facilities are very nice and clean. With the voucher I was given access to all of the spa amenities for the entire day which included a sauna, jacuzzi pool, steam room, and the outdoor pool area. I was excited to spend the day there to relax and hang out by the pool, but by the time I was finished with the massage and had showered (10:00am) the pool was completely packed and there were no lounge chairs. It doesn’t look like it accommodates very many people.
Other than not being able to fully take advantage of all of the amenities, I would say it is a very nice facility.

We are currently guest here at The Atlantic Resort & Spa and it is nice. The room are spacious. The service is wonderful. But unfortunately for me, it lacks a certain something, mainly not paying attention to detail. Firstly, our bedding is ripped up in spots. There is no excuse for that. The pool area is depressing. The chaises are stiff, they have no cushion so the towels slide every time you move. It is sadly without any ambiance. Not many plants and not enough chaise lounges. The complimentary products they have in the bathroom are low grade and are not replenished. The robes are very stiff so they are not comfortable after a shower. Not sure if we would return.
I expected more. Hopefully they will make some changes since their are more high end properties being built near by.
