About the W Hotel, Fort Lauderdale

For activities at the W, like the spa and gym, or boating/fishing trips, contact the concierge.There are two pools at the W. We recommend the “towers” pool which is quieter. The beach is nice but regrettably there is no bar service! So, bring your own and the attendant can give you lounge chair and towel.Regarding your connection from the airport, taxis are plentiful and reasonable – and just 15 minutes away.Looking forward to welcoming you next week!
