Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale
- 525 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd (oceanfront, opened 2022)
- 189 rooms, every room opens to a furnished balcony
- About $400–900 per night
- 2 outdoor pools, Five Diamond spa
The newest luxury hotel on the beach and the only AAA Five Diamond property in Fort Lauderdale. All 189 rooms have a furnished balcony, so the question is only which view you want: Prime Ocean-View rooms face the Atlantic, while Intracoastal rooms look west over the waterway and downtown at sunset. For the biggest outdoor space, the Birch Oceanfront Terrace Suite has a full terrace with dining area.
Balcony tip: ocean-view rooms on higher floors give the cleanest beach view; Intracoastal rooms are usually cheaper and get the sunset.
The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale
- 1 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd (oceanfront)
- 192 rooms, every room has a private balcony
- About $450–900 per night
- Elevated infinity pool, spa, Club Level
Every room and suite at the Ritz-Carlton has a private balcony, with either Atlantic or Intracoastal views. Partial Ocean View and Oceanfront rooms sit on floors 7–14 with floor-to-ceiling doors onto the balcony. Residential suites with one to three bedrooms have larger balconies and kitchens, which suits families.
Balcony tip: “Partial ocean view” here means an angled view from the balcony – book Oceanfront if you want to face the water straight on.
Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach
- 551 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd (across A1A from the beach)
- 290 all-suite units, each with a balcony or terrace
- About $320–650 per night
- Rooftop pool, full kitchens in suites
An all-suite hotel where every unit has a balcony and most have a kitchen, which makes it a strong choice for longer stays and families. One-bedroom suites face either the ocean or the Intracoastal and downtown; the three-bedroom residences have a 28 m² balcony with a dining table for six.
Balcony tip: Intracoastal-view suites are usually the better value and still get open water views at sunset.
W Fort Lauderdale
- 401 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd (across the street from the beach)
- Most rooms have a balcony; suites have large terraces
- About $260–600 per night
- Lively pool deck, El Vez and Steak 954
The W is the social, nightlife-leaning pick on the strip, with a busy pool scene and two well-known restaurants. Many rooms and all suites come with balconies or terraces facing the ocean or the Intracoastal. Kayak data shows September is the cheapest month and April the most expensive.
Balcony tip: ask for a high floor away from the pool deck if you want a quiet balcony in the evening.
Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort
- 505 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd (formerly Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort)
- All-suite, every suite has a private balcony
- About $190–450 per night + resort fee
- Ocean-view pool deck, kitchens in every suite
Formerly the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, this all-suite hotel now trades as Beach House Fort Lauderdale. Every suite has a private balcony and a kitchenette or full kitchen; studio and junior suites are about 650 sq ft, and the two-bedroom suites have wraparound balconies. It is often cheaper than the Conrad and W next door.
Watch the fees: valet parking (no self-parking) and a daily resort fee add a lot to the final bill – check the total before you book.
The Atlantic Hotel & Spa
- 601 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd (oceanfront)
- Rooms and condo-style suites with furnished balconies
- About $250–550 per night
- Oceanfront pool, full spa
A smaller, quieter oceanfront hotel next to the Conrad, with condo-style rooms and suites that open to furnished balconies. It works well for couples who want a beachfront balcony without the crowds of the bigger resorts. November is usually the cheapest month and February the most expensive.
Pelican Grand Beach Resort
- 2000 N Ocean Blvd (private beach, quieter north end)
- 156 rooms; oceanfront rooms have balconies
- About $300–600 per night
- Lazy river, zero-entry pool, 500 ft private beach
A yellow Victorian-style resort sitting right on its own 500-foot stretch of sand in the quieter north part of Fort Lauderdale Beach. Oceanfront rooms and suites have balconies directly over the beach, and the lazy river makes it popular with families.
Balcony tip: book an Oceanfront category – lower-priced rooms may face the street or have no balcony.
Riverside Hotel

- Balcony rooms in the tower and balcony junior suites
- About $150–400 per night
- Riverside pool, walk to Las Olas restaurants
A historic 1936 hotel on Las Olas Boulevard, about 2 miles from the beach. Balconies are in the newer tower: look for Executive King Balcony and Junior Suite Balcony City View rooms. It is the best pick if you want restaurants and bars on your doorstep rather than sand.
Balcony tip: rooms in the historic building generally do not have balconies, so filter for “balcony” in the room name.
Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale Beach
- 3001 E Las Olas Blvd (beach end of Las Olas, by the marina)
- King or 2 Queen Balcony Marina View and Oceanfront balcony rooms
- About $230–450 per night

- Balcony suites, Canal Studios and Flagler Suites
- About $150–370 per night
- Rooftop pool and bar
A design-led downtown hotel with one of the city’s best rooftop pools. Standard rooms do not have balconies, but the One-Bedroom Balcony Suite (about 700 sq ft), Grand Suite Balcony, Canal Studios and Flagler Suites do. A good choice for a city break with an easy 10-minute ride to the beach.

- Balcony rooms with ocean or Intracoastal views
- Check dates – varies widely by season
- Rooftop terrace, pool bar, free bikes

- 1140 Seabreeze Blvd (south beach, near Bahia Mar)
- Oceanfront King and Double Balcony rooms, balcony suites
- About $170–330 per night + resort fee
- Wreck Bar mermaid show, private beach
The former Yankee Clipper, B Ocean is a big 487-room beach resort with a private beach and the famous Wreck Bar mermaid shows. Only some rooms have balconies – book an Oceanfront King Balcony, Oceanfront Double Balcony or Posh One-Bedroom Balcony Suite.

- 3333 NE 32nd Ave (on the Intracoastal Waterway)
- Suites with balconies over the waterway
- Check dates – varies by season
- Kitchens, free breakfast, waterfront pool
An extended-stay Marriott on the Intracoastal rather than the ocean, about a 5-minute walk to the beach. Suites have kitchens and balconies facing the waterway and passing yachts, making it a practical choice for families and longer stays.
Tips for booking a balcony room in Fort Lauderdale
- Check the room name. At hotels like B Ocean, AC Hotel, the Riverside and The Dalmar only some room types have balconies – the word “balcony” should be in the room name.
- Pick your view. Ocean-view balconies get sunrise; Intracoastal balconies get sunset and are often cheaper.
- Go high. On A1A, floors above the street noise and palm trees give much better balcony views.
- Count the fees. Valet parking is often $50–65 a night on the beach, and some resorts add a daily resort fee.
- Book shoulder season. Late summer to November is usually the cheapest; February to April is the most expensive.
Where to stay: beach, Las Olas or downtown?
Central Fort Lauderdale Beach (along N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd / A1A) has the Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Conrad, W, Beach House and Atlantic, all across the street from the sand. North Beach and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea are quieter, with Pelican Grand and Plunge right on the beach. Las Olas and downtown (Riverside Hotel, The Dalmar, Hotel Maren at the beach end) are best for dining and nightlife, about 10 minutes from the beach.
Frequently asked questions
Which Fort Lauderdale hotels have a balcony in every room?
The Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Conrad and Beach House Fort Lauderdale (formerly Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort) give every room or suite a private balcony. At most other hotels only certain room types have one, so check that the room name includes "balcony".
What is the cheapest oceanfront hotel with a balcony near Fort Lauderdale?
Plunge Beach Resort in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is usually the cheapest, with oceanfront balcony rooms often around $100 to $350 a night. On Fort Lauderdale Beach itself, B Ocean Resort and Beach House Fort Lauderdale are the better-value options, but add resort fees and valet parking.
