2025-03-11

The historic Pier Sixty-Six resort has made a triumphant return to the Florida skyline after an extensive renovation. This luxury destination, which once faced severe damage from a major hurricane in 2017, has undergone a transformative billion-dollar makeover. Now standing at an impressive 17 stories, the resort is not only a symbol of Fort Lauderdale’s elegance but also offers a range of new amenities designed to provide guests with unparalleled experiences. Among these enhancements are a lavish spa, multiple swimming pools, and an array of gourmet dining venues. The centerpiece of this transformation is undoubtedly the newly revamped rooftop lounge and restaurant, offering panoramic views that rotate every 66 minutes, creating a unique dining experience.

A key focus of the renovations was to ensure meticulous attention to detail, ensuring each guest enjoys an unforgettable stay. Two luxurious private residence complexes, Azul and Indigo, have been added to the resort. These residences, ranging from spacious 1,645 to expansive 3,800 square feet, feature bespoke Italian cabinetry, private garden retreats, and heated plunge pools on each balcony. In addition to these residential offerings, the resort now boasts a diverse selection of dining options. From high-end restaurants like Calusso to casual eateries such as Garni, the all-day brunch café, there is something for every palate. Private dining rooms are also available for intimate gatherings, adding to the versatility of culinary experiences.

Pier Sixty-Six has long been a haven for yachting enthusiasts, and the recent upgrades to its marina further enhance this reputation. Spanning an impressive 5,000 feet, the marina now features round-the-clock security, golf cart access, and in-dock fueling services. Located strategically at Port Everglades, it offers tax-free fueling and easy connections to the international airport, making it a convenient stop for travelers. The addition of the Marina Promenade brings retail and dining options to the waterfront, transforming it into a vibrant hub for boaters, dreamers, and adventurers alike. With these enhancements, Pier Sixty-Six stands as a testament to the power of resilience and innovation, inviting visitors to indulge in the finest that Fort Lauderdale has to offer.
