Beautiful hotel, rooms clean. The food at the lona restaurant was amazing. A very nice guy named Andres helped us and was very kind to all of us, love it! The environment 10/10 would stay here again!!
Westin Ft. Lauderdale Beach Resort is a must when you visit Ft. Lauderdale! I’ve traveled the world and I have never met a more welcoming staff at a hotel. My great experience began the moment I walked in the door. Tashelle at the front desk was amazing! She went over and beyond to ensure that my colleagues and I were happy with our accommodations and amenities. My room location on the 7th floor in room 736 was ideal to create a peaceful sanctuary to view stunning sunrises from my balcony. We were in town to hold our national conference for our organization, and we could not have picked a better place. We were introduced to Carla Baker, Meetings and Events Manager, and I must say ever since we didn’t have to worry about anything during our conference. She went over and beyond, and her leadership shined during our multi-day conference. She provided an environment that relieved us of the anxiety that comes with running a conference. She made certain that everything was squared away. She was truly there every step of the way making sure that everything was perfect. She leads with distinction and a standard of perfection. We were grateful for everyone such as Vittoria, Robert, and Jackson who added to making my first experience in Ft. Lauderdale truly amazing! If you are looking to host a conference in Florida, I would look no further than the Westin Ft. Lauderdale Beach Resort. As long as Carla Baker is in leadership, I will be forever sold on this hotel. Her leadership set the tone and environment and truly created an unforgettable experience.
