FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.,
Nov. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A
modern reflection of the classic yacht club lifestyle, the all-new
Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale is now
confirming arrivals for its opening in early 2022. A prime
beachfront address in the heart of a celebrated vacation city, Four
Seasons is bringing unrivalled style and legendary service to one
of the world's top yachting destinations.
General Manager Mazen Saleh, who
was most recently Resort Manager at Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach,
talks about the enduring appeal of the area: "Each of South Florida's coastal communities has its
own unique charm. From beach to city, Fort Lauderdale has a youthful and vibrant
spirit, and we are channelling that energy, along with yacht
club-style traditions, into our team and all the experiences we are
creating for our guests."
Among the Hotel's features are 189 accommodations including
suites and hotel residences, an expansive third floor pool terrace
overlooking the ocean, spa and wellness offerings, Kids For All
Seasons, oceanfront dining at Evelyn's Table, and Honey Fitz, the lobby cafe and champagne bar.
Just above the lobby is a dedicated level of event spaces, while
the uppermost floors of the 22-storey tower are home to 42 Four
Seasons Private Residences.
"As worldwide travel gradually resumes, Four Seasons is
continuing to expand its portfolio with an aim to offer the very
best luxury hospitality experiences that welcome guests from near
and far with renewed excitement and our unwavering commitment to
the highest standards," says Antoine
Chahwan, Four Seasons President, Hotel Operations - Americas
East. "In Fort Lauderdale, in concert with our esteemed owner
partner Nadim Ashi of Fort
Hospitality, we are poised to usher in a new era in one of
America's most beloved seaside communities."
Global Visionaries
Fort Hospitality, led by developer and entrepreneur
Nadim Ashi, is committed to
delivering the highest standards of quality. Together with
Four Seasons, the collection of South
Florida properties within its portfolio is recognised for
being the region's finest hotels, resorts and residences. At Four
Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale, Ashi envisioned
bringing an inspiring sense of possibility to this next-generation
coastal city and selected a global design team to create a
beachfront address with a foundation of style.
Beginning with award-winning Miami-based architect Kobi Karp, the building's curved silhouette is
emblematic of the sleek lines of a luxury yacht, creating a
free-flowing appearance that catches the best of both the ocean and
the city. The fresh white materials and clean contemporary lines
were drawn from the city's modern and youthful spirit.
Inside, London-based and
internationally renowned Tara
Bernerd & Partners was chosen to design the Hotel's
public spaces, rooms and suites. Seeking inspiration from
Fort Lauderdale's yachting
heritage, an era when frolicking in the sun first put Florida on the holiday map, Tara Bernerd's design marries a Riviera
lifestyle with the freshness and elegance of mid-century modernist
design.
Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, based in London and New
York and known for designing some of the world's best
hotels, restaurants, bars and private members' clubs, imagined the
Hotel's expansive Ocean Terrace including the pool experience and
oceanfront restaurant, Evelyn's Table. Here, Martin Brudnizki
sought to create a space that exudes the tradition of a yacht club
and the glamour and fun of Four Seasons in Fort Lauderdale. In this sense, the design
features a polished palette of blues, whites and woods along with
beautifully rounded detailing to create a nautical feeling that is
sophisticated and fresh.
The outdoor spaces further come to life by celebrated boutique
firm Fernando Wong Outdoor Living Design, headquartered in
Miami Beach with addresses in
Palm Beach and The Hamptons. On
the ground level, guests can stroll through the sculptural green
gardens that line the paths from the Hotel to the beachfront
boulevard. Elevated on the third-floor Ocean Terrace, varietals of
tropical palms and greenery frame the Hotel's ocean vistas while
also creating a sense of privacy.
The collective result is modern and inviting, balancing retro
elegance with a vibrant contemporary attitude. Beginning with the
moment of arrival, guests are embraced by the charismatic
personality of Fort
Lauderdale.
A Place in the Sun: Pools and Beach
Long days in the sunshine may be best enjoyed on the third level
Ocean Terrace, featuring panoramic Atlantic Ocean views from two
horizon-edge pools – one serene and one more playful. From morning
aquafit to weekend Sunset Hour gatherings, there's activity all day
long. Attentive Four Seasons service brings cocktails and poolside
fare.
Those who prefer their toes in the sand can also hit the beach,
with a dedicated area for Four Seasons guests. Before heading out,
guests can create their own picnic from Honey Fitz, stop by the beach toys station, and
let the Beach Concierge plan the perfect day, including local water
sports.
Spa Serenity
Inspired by the infinite waterways that weave through
Fort Lauderdale, the spa journey
at Four Seasons reflects the movement of water, from transformative
facials to the signature ebb and flow massage. Featuring products
by local and global experts, guests can sample exclusive brands in
the experiential boutique before relaxing in soothing lounges
complete with salt-wall saunas, aroma steam rooms and ice
fountains.
Restaurant and Bar Experiences
At Evelyn's Table, coastal cuisine meets eastern Mediterranean
flavours in a space that blends seamlessly with the glistening
ocean waters it looks out upon. Named for Evelyn Fortune Lilly Bartlett - a Fort Lauderdale luminary most notable for the
beauty she bestowed upon the city - the atmosphere is both
sophisticated and fun.
An inviting all-day lounge, Honey
Fitz takes its name from the Presidential yacht made
famous by John F. Kennedy. Entering
from the grand space that welcomes guests to the Hotel, awake to
gourmet coffee creations and pastries by day and enjoy wine and
champagne by night.
An additional restaurant concept overlooking Fort Lauderdale
Beach Boulevard will debut in fall 2022.
Celebrations at Four Seasons
With an atmosphere of a private yacht club and attentive Four
Seasons service, the new Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort
Lauderdale brings expertise, exceptional cuisine, and personality
to weddings, milestone celebrations and gala events.
Meeting planners can also consider the benefits of sun-lit
