Pier Sixty-Six has long been a cherished icon in Fort Lauderdale, but its recent grand opening marks the dawn of a new era. With its storied legacy meticulously preserved and elevated, this 32-acre waterfront haven has reemerged as the crown jewel of South Florida’s luxury hospitality scene. Nestled along the Intracoastal Waterway, the property’s transformation under Tavistock Group and CoralTree Hospitality is nothing short of spectacular.

“For years, we have placed great effort into preserving the property’s rich history while crafting a destination that seamlessly merges the charm of the past with the promise of the future. This isn’t just the opening of a resort—it marks the beginning of a new chapter, offering an unforgettable experience that will continue to attract visitors to this dynamic city for years to come.”

Boasting 325 exquisitely designed guest rooms and suites, Pier Sixty-Six offers unparalleled views of Fort Lauderdale’s shimmering coastal waters. The resort invites guests to indulge in a trio of sparkling pools, while the world-class marina, one of the largest on the eastern seaboard, welcomes superyachts with open arms.

Dining at Pier Sixty-Six is an experience in itself. From Calusso, a culinary fusion of Southern European sophistication and South Florida’s coastal charm, to Sotogrande, where bold Mediterranean and Southern Spanish flavors take center stage, each venue promises to delight the palate. Casual yet refined options include Elate Market Café, offering artisanal breakfast bites, and Saltbreeze, a family-friendly poolside retreat with Latin-inspired fare and expertly crafted cocktails. The historic Windows on 66 returns, blending nostalgia with a curated selection of global vodkas and gins.
