Manhattan Tower — Hotel in Fort Lauderdale

My husband and I just returned from a 12 night stay over the holidays at Manhattan Tower. This was our second Christmas spent at this amazing apartment hotel. If you are looking for a different type of accommodation with a vintage feel that is cozy and comfortable where you can sit and watch all kinds of boats and yachts go by from your private balcony or from the many seating areas along the Intercoastal Waterway, book a unit at Manhattan Tower. Our family rented four different units and each one was lovely. They are not your cookie cutter rooms like you see in most hotels...each one is decorated differently with lots of eclectic touches, interesting furniture pieces, light fixtures and art. So much fun! We all did quite a bit of cooking for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day cocktail hours and meals together and the kitchens are very well equipped to whip up just about anything you can think of. There were seven of us and there was plenty of room in each place for all of us to comfortably hang out, eat, drink, and celebrate the holidays. The owners live on site and are so nice and accommodating and thoughtful and always available if anything comes up or to answer any questions. The small staff is also very friendly and helpful. Checking in is a breeze and to get to your room, you walk through a beautiful courtyard with lots of lush vegetation and a huge heated pool. We checked in on December 23rd and everything was decorated for Christmas with garlands and lights and wreaths...very festive! The waterfront side looked so ready for Christmas with so many lights and our unit, #108, looked like a Christmas disco inside at night...which I loved! The best part about Manhattan Tower is that it is pet friendly and we are able to bring our little dog with us. The location is perfect...a quiet neighborhood setting but only a couple of blocks, easily walkable, from the beautiful Fort Lauderdale beach and a few minutes drive to the Galleria Mall, multiple grocery stores and restaurants. Thank you to everyone at Manhattan Tower for making our Christmas Holiday stay so perfect. We will be back in 2023 for...

We stay at Manhattan Towers every time we’re in town to drop our son at college. I’m so glad I found this place! It’s right on the inter-coastal, so you get to watch the parade of boats with the back-drop of beautiful homes across the way. The interior is designed with an eclectic touch of art. It’s very unique, and you can tell the owners personally have chosen every piece of art carefully. The bathroom in our unit appears to have the same fixtures since the 1950’s when GM executives used to convene here. And I’m saying that as a good thing. I love the throw-back look, but the kitchen is modern. There’s a very large terrace overlooking the waterway with more art features and plenty of seating. Every time I see a tour boat go by, I can here the captain explaining to the guests in the boat about the history of this hotel. They have a very nice and warm salt water pool. It must be 90-92 degrees. We stay in it for hours sometimes. The beds are very comfortable. We get a couple rooms for the family because the price is very reasonable. I feel|Like this is my home away from home thanks to the wonderful owners personal attention when we arrive and the warm feeling we get by just the nature of this place. You’d have to experience to fully appreciate this place. The beach is an easy 3 block walk. There’s a very nice coffee shop at the Conrad at Breakers and Windamar that I love to walk to in the morning. Parking is literally 5 steps to the entry of the property. The place is kept up very nicely. We look forward to getting...

Danielle and I, professional wedding photographers, were commissioned to photograph a wedding at nearby Bonnet House. We live on Florida's West Coast, and did a search of hotels near Bonnet House. When I came across Manhattan Tower, I was instantly drawn toward the mid-century styling, and after having read the history of this wonderful place, we decided to give it try. We had a two-night stay, and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. David was extremely responsive and helpful during my pre-arrangements, as well as once we were on the property. Our time there was even more pleasurable because of the on-property restaurant. Very good food, very good presentation of the food, and very reasonable pricing. Our dining experience for our dinners and breakfasts were outside, on the Intercoastal Waterway... very serene atmosphere. We're already planning to return in a few weeks for a pleasure trip. And, we've already begun sharing our experiences with our family and friends who visit Fort Lauderdale from time to time... Very highly recommend...
