Through the years the resort became a symbol of South Florida’s transformation from a sleepy beach town to a cosmopolitan destination. Following a multi-year revitalization that was completed in 2025, the landmark has reemerged as a 32-acre playground of luxury, style and modern coastal sophistication.
The resort’s design evokes timeless architecture with fresh amenities, marrying history and innovation in a way that feels nostalgic and new all in one setting. Among its standout experiences is the revival of Pier Top itself, a revolving lounge that remains one of the most distinctive and coveted venues in all of Florida. With its acclaimed marina, 325 rooms and suites, and an ever-growing collection of restaurants, Pier Sixty-Six is once again a cornerstone of South Florida hospitality.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- All accommodations offer floor-to-ceiling windows framing Fort Lauderdale’s waterways. Thoughtful design touches, coastal-inspired palettes and plush bedding create an environment that is as stylish as it is comfortable. Sun-drenched mornings and watercolor-like sunsets are norms at every turn.
- Children are treated to their own sense of discovery at the Pier Explorers Kids’ Club, where supervised activities often blend learning, play and adventure. Programming is tailored by age group, so parents can relax by the pool or enjoy water sports knowing their children are in excellent hands.
- Zenova Spa, the 13,000-square-foot wellness retreat, has a mix of European-inspired hydrotherapy with cutting-edge treatments. Highlights include the snow room for cold therapy, a vitality pool with sweeping city views and a menu of rejuvenating rituals ranging from facials to full-body therapies. A couples suite and a relaxation lounge make this a destination for both solo serenity and shared indulgence.
- The fitness program is robust, with a 24/7 Technogym-powered center and dedicated movement studio with everything from yoga and meditation to high-intensity interval training. Personal trainers and visiting instructors lead specialized classes, ensuring guests at all fitness levels find ways to feel energized.
- Yachting culture thrives at Pier Sixty-Six Marina, which is home to 164 slips and 5,000 linear feet of dockage. The marina has space for vessels up to 400 feet, zero bridge restrictions, high-speed fueling and concierge service, making it one of the premier deep-water marinas in the United States. Its location at the gateway to Port Everglades also makes it an ideal starting point for Caribbean adventures.
The Restaurants
- At Garni, mornings rise with French-inspired pastries and American staples before morphing into an all-day brunch setting. On Sundays the experience crescendos with a buffet of charcuterie, smoked salmon, chef-prepared hot dishes and bottomless mimosas served with a theatrical flair.
- Pier Top is arguably Pier Sixty-Six’s crown jewel. On the 17th floor, the swanky lounge has 360-degree views of the Atlantic, Intracoastal Waterway and Fort Lauderdale skyline. Here, guests can sip champagne, order caviar service and linger over signature cocktails such as the Venice of America (which is also Fort Lauderdale’s nickname).
- Calusso boasts a refined dining experience inspired by the spirit of the French and Italian rivieras. Tableside presentations focus on pristine seafood catches, handcrafted pastas and premium steak cuts, all with fresh local ingredients and South Florida pizzazz.
