As the first all-suite hotel on Fort Lauderdale Beach, Beach House Fort Lauderdale, A Hilton Resort, has carved a niche for itself that few other waterfront hotels can offer. After a refit from its days as the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, it’s now a family-friendly getaway with plenty of pizzazz for all ages. You’ll find a boutique spa, poolside cabanas and a buzzing rooftop bar known citywide. Including all of the above, these are our top five reasons for staying at Beach House.

The sixth-floor pool deck is front and center here, enjoying an elevated position over the turquoise shoreline. With so many lounge chairs, there are options for both shade and sun. Many guests scramble for one of the waterfront chairs, but the truth is, there is no bad seat.
Splashing fountains spill into the enormous pool, which has whirlpools on two sides. Cabanas ring the edges; these private sections come with shadier and cushier chairs, a fridge, TV and bottle of Champagne. Prices vary based on occupancy and season, but these are great for those that want something more exclusive.
The staff circles around with menus for salads, burgers, tacos and drinks from the bar. In-the-know guests take the staircase down to the circular deck that juts out to the sea. It is popular with weddings and social functions, but is open to guests when it’s not in use. This is one of the best spots to snap that Instagram selfie.
Another impressive perk is sunscreen and cooling gel available at the towel stand. These are the types of amenities I expect at a resort that charges four digits a night, but a pleasant surprise here.
All of the accommodations benefit from furnished terraces, which means no matter what time of day, you are always just seconds from the ocean breeze.
The suites
What makes this resort unique is that it is entirely comprised of suites. This means large bedrooms, living areas, kitchens, bathrooms and then option to connect to a neighboring suite to expand the space…
