Areas To Explore
Every corner of Broward moves at its own pace. Find yours.
Fort Lauderdale Beach
The iconic oceanfront strip — sun all day, dinner steps from the sand, and energy well into the night.
Las Olas / Downtown Fort Lauderdale
The city's walkable heart. Galleries, boutiques, and some of the best dinner tables in South Florida.
Hollywood Beach
A 2.5-mile oceanfront Broadwalk made for slow mornings, beach cruisers, and toes-in-the-sand meals.
Hallandale Beach
Perfectly placed between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, with Gulfstream Park and great dining minutes away.
Dania Beach
Quick to the airport, quicker to the sand — fishing pier, casino, and an easygoing local food scene.
Plantation / Sawgrass Area
Home to Sawgrass Mills, one of the country's biggest outlet malls, plus easy inland convenience.
Things To Do
Slow beach mornings, lively Las Olas evenings, and everything in between.
Beach Day
Wide, clean Atlantic sand and calm mornings. Go early — the best parking and the best light both disappear by ten.
Las Olas Evening
Dinner, dessert, galleries, and people-watching — all in one effortlessly walkable stretch.
Boating & Water Taxi
They call it the "Venice of America" for a reason. See Fort Lauderdale from the water by taxi, charter, or rental.
Hollywood Beach Broadwalk
2.5 miles of oceanfront promenade — rent a bike, grab a coffee, and stay for the sunset.
Shopping at Sawgrass Mills
One of the largest outlet malls in the country. If you love a deal, plan at least half a day.
Family Activities
Mini golf, the Museum of Discovery and Science, butterfly gardens, and gentle beaches the kids will love.
Rainy Day Plans
Museums, malls, arcades, and casinos — Broward has plenty of cover when the weather turns.
Nightlife & Entertainment
Rooftop bars, live music, and late-night spots clustered around downtown and the beach.
Day Trip to Miami
South Beach, Wynwood, and Little Havana are an easy drive — or a breezy Brightline ride — away.
Where To Eat
Broward has a strong mix of waterfront dining, beachside restaurants, Las Olas favorites, upscale hotel dining, and casual local spots. These are the places we send our guests.
Steak 954
One of our top recommendations for a nicer night out — a polished oceanfront steakhouse worth dressing up for.
Boatyard
An easy guest favorite — fresh seafood, dockside energy, and a classic Fort Lauderdale waterfront feel.
Coconuts
Laid-back Intracoastal dining where the boats pull right up. A guest favorite for good reason.
Takato
A more polished Fort Lauderdale Beach experience — refined Japanese-Korean dining for a special evening.
MAASS
Elegant, chef-driven dining on the beach — one of the area's most elevated tables.
Louie Bossi's
A reliable choice for brunch, dinner, or groups — house-made pasta and a lively boulevard setting.
Bonus tip: For an after-dinner cocktail, ask about Rm. 901 at Hyatt Centric Las Olas — a hidden speakeasy-style room with limited seatings and a private cocktail lounge feel.
Guest Essentials
The practical stuff, handled — airports, groceries, pharmacies, and getting around.
FLL Airport
FLL is the main airport for most Broward County stays and is convenient for guests staying in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood Beach, Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, and nearby coastal areas. Guests should allow extra travel time during peak traffic, holidays, cruise weekends, and major events.
View Airport InfoPort Everglades
Port Everglades is one of South Florida's major cruise ports and is convenient for guests staying before or after a sailing. Bizae properties in Broward County can be a strong option for cruise travelers who want beach access, dining, and airport convenience before boarding.
