A vibrant retreat on the Intracoastal Waterway

Gem of Fort Lauderdale Hotels

Just steps from the beach, The Kimpton Goodland Hotel Fort Lauderdale Beach is where you find both serenity and a buzzing social scene. It all depends which way you want to turn the tide. With two pools, a coastal-inspired restaurant and bar, and lush secluded courtyards, each setting is a postcard of possibility. Originally opened as the Escape Hotel in 1949, it was the first hotel near the beach to have a swimming pool and stay open year-round. Today, the welcoming coastal spirit remains. Grab a cocktail, listen to live music, watch yachts drift by or simply claim a moment of calm in your modern, bright guestroom. Like the ocean nearby, this local hideaway is there with a rush of adrenaline — and breath of fresh air.
