Contemporary Fort Lauderdale suite hotel for business or leisure
Well-heeled travelers embrace the Il Lugano Suite Hotel, a 14-story contemporary hotel that towers above the Intracoastal Waterway. VIP extras ensure guests are pampered, starting with four dock slips for yacht parking and chauffeured Escalade rides within a three-mile radius. Suites are equipped with full gourmet kitchens, but no one would fault travelers for booking reservations downstairs, where an upscale Italian restaurant is a claim to fame for a celebrity chef.
Highlights
- All-suite luxury hotel on the Intracoastal Waterway
- In-room spa treatments
- Chauffeured Escalade transportation (based upon availability)
- Boat dock and waterfront pool
Rooms
Spacious suites at the Il Lugano Suite Hotel cater to travelers who appreciate luxuries like 400 thread-count bedding, in-room spa treatments and European bath amenities. Rooms are high on style, favoring clean lines and modern accents like oval ottomans and lamps with oversized shades. Free Wi-Fi is a given, as are two LCD TVs and an iPod docking station that streams tunes through a Bose sound system. Full gourmet kitchens invite guests to prepare meals in their temporary home, which features a dining table and fully furnished balcony for soaking up the views before or after dinner.
Dining
The Italian restaurant seduces with juicy flavors like the signature mozzarella and handcrafted pastas in a scene as luscious as the hotel itself.
Recreation
High rollers and executive travelers indulge in South Florida opulence every time they board Il Lugano One, which hosts private sunset cruises along the Intracoastal Waterway. Guests can also request to dock their own yachts in one of four slips on the property.
Back at Il Lugano Suite Hotel, patrons break a sweat on Precor machines in the fitness center or relax in cabanas by the heated waterfront pool and outdoor Jacuzzi.
When exploration is in order, the hotel can arrange chauffeured rides aboard a Cadillac Escalade within a three mile radius (based on availability) or excursions on the beach aboard il Carrello, which seats 10.

Great Place to Stay
The hotel and service were both extraordinary. I could not find anything negative to say except that the "beach" pictures are actually lounge chairs in sand on the side of the Intercoastal Waterway. It is about a 1 mile drive to the beach. [...]

Good Value - Fantastic Accomodations
This was my first time at Il Lugano. The suites are spacious and the king ugrade with the water view is worth the price. The staff is helpful and friendly. Sometimes they forgot evening turndown service but were accomodating to get fresh towels, etc. The restaurant is first class and the location is convenient. They need to upgrade their wireless service. If you are a business traveler or just need to connect to the internet, it can be frustrating waiting for connections and experiencing dropped connections. Overall I highly recommend Il Lugano.

Beautiful Hotel=Beautiful Weekend
The hotel was gorgeous and the staff was very organized and friendly. The rooms were decorated beautifully and very thoughtful in their amenities (dish detergent, q-tips, coffee, blow dryer, etc.) and I loved the pretty white crib they brought up for our daughter. The restaurant inside is absolutely one of the best I've ever been too. You've got to try their homemade mozzarella! Anyhow, there's no question that when I return to Ft. Lauderdale, I'll be returning to Il Lugano.

Opulent and Stylsih Suites and Lobby
This boutique hotel is an excellent choice for the cost-conscious and trendy who enjoy stylish, well-designed rooms and hotels. Even though the lobby is gorgeous and the rooms are beautiful, the hotel still manages to have a very comfortable and welcoming vibe for visitors of all ages, including young children.I especially enjoyed the complementary sit-down hot breakfast in the hotel's four star restaurant each morning and the lovely view of the lake that sits right outside the back of the hotel.My only complaints would be that the hotel is located further away from Ft. Lauderdale beach (AIA) than I was expecting. [...] If you want to be completely away from the action and noise of others, then this hotel would be a great choice.Plus, whenever I called the front desk the phone would not be answered immediately; it would ring many, many times before it would be picked up. Aside from this, the staff was extremely pleasant and helpful.So, overall, I would recommend this hotel, especially if you like boutique hotels and prefer to be in a quiet, secluded section of Ft. Lauderdale.

Incredible Hotel!
We were visiting Ft. Lauderdale and had stayed at another hotel last time. We would absolutely stay here again! The rooms were clean, spacious, elegant and what a spectacular view! The restaurant at the hotel was very nice, yet we were looking for something a bit more casual.

Beautiful and Unbeatable Location
Our stay was fantastic. We did a lot of walking for sightseeing in the area. The restaurants and the food is very good. We enjoyed the shopping at the malls and boutiques. The only thing that I would have liked to see in the hotel was a convenient shop for snakes and gifts. We will see you again very soon. We love the weather there. Thanks again for your service.
