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.

Leisure perfect
I stayed at Il Lugano during a leisure vacation and was extremely impressed! The hotel staff was friendly and accomodating throughout our entire stay. The room was clean with a very comfortable king sized bed and a terrace which overlooked a scenic intercoastal view. Each room has a full kitchen and the fridge was full with drinks for and snacks for our enjoying. We used their shuttle service to and from the airport and the drivers were very helpful and friendly. There are many nightclubs and resturants nearby and the drivers are available to take you wherever you need. I would definately recommend this hotel to anybody if they are looking for five star quality and friendliness!!!

Absolutely Fabulous
The Il Lugano Hotel was terrific. The rooms were extremely clean. I have never encountered a more courteous and friendly staff. Each room had wonderful kithchen facilities with a dishwasher. The rooms also had a washer and dryer which came in very handy. The hotel provided complimentary dish soap and Tide. The location was very pretty. The balcony had a great view of the ocean. They have a complimentary boat and car that can take you places within 5 miles of the hotel. We would definitely stay here again!!

Good deal on a new hotel
Il Lugano Hotel just opened 2 months ago but the place runs very nicely. The rooms are great, (get one with a view of the waterways, it's better than the ocean view 3 blocks away). Rooms are quiet, clean and the refrig plus stove were great. I would stay here again. **low points. The restaurant is not yet ready. Valet parking cost extra. **High points. Reserve the boat for a short tour. No cost except gratuity for the Captain. Concierge was very helpful. The soft music and low lights outside made for a romantic setting by the waterway. This is not a HUGE hotel but that makes it more suitable for us. Try it.

Short walk from hotel
For the daytime, there are a number of shops, small stores and eating places very near. At night the street was a little too dark for us.

Great Rooms!
Il Lugano is a brand new property and this makes it a desirable place to stay. We decided not to use the valet parking option as the cost is a bit high, however, we utilized the municiple parking literally right in front of the hotel. I would recommend this hotel to couples. The Concierge is very helpful and the hotel room amenites are excellent. They have wireless throughout and offer a continental breakfast in the price of the hotel room. The hotel is about 20 minutes from the Ft. Lauderdale airport and a couple of blocks from the beach. The actual hotel location is sort of off the beaten path, not much there, but you are litterally on the Inter-Coastal. We had dinner in La Olas section of Fort Lauderdale about 5 miles from the hotel, which is a very nice area and the hotel provides a complimentary shuttle should you not have a car at your disposal.

Impeccable service
My room was very nice, but I am a down-to-earth individual and wouldn't mind living without some of the amenities like the in-room washer/dryer, full sized fridge and two televisions. It was definitely the incredible service I received from the staff that made the difference. The room and king sized bed were extremely comfortable and the room and hotel are very clean. The bathroom lacked natural light and the pool was located on the north side of the building which means that if you want to enjoy direct sunshine while your are by the pool it won't happen because the sun will be on the other side of the building unless you choose to swim in early morning or late afternoon/early evening. Our balcony was also on the north side so we didn't get much direct sunlight but the view was beautiful. I wouldn't mind staying at a much more affordable hotel as long as it was clean. The hotel presently does not have a dining room or dining in-room service but they say they will shortly. Again all I can say is the service staff were amazing!

Great service for a new hotel.
The hotel was great, considering that it only opened at the beginning of 2008, and not all of its facilities are yet functioning (the restaurant is scheduled to open in June and there is currently no room service). The staff were very helpful, and responsive to my requests.

Great view
I was apprehensive about the Il Lugano at first because our GPS could not locate it. We had to call the hotel for directions and then found that the hotel just recently opened. If you are wanting a great view of the ocean, this is not the place for you. If you want to be in the party atmosphere of spring break, stay somewhere else. This hotel is off the beaten path by about two blocks and the uniqueness of it's seclusion only lends to it's upscale sophistication. The interior design is modern with clean lines, and the subtle but colorful lighting is the perfect accent to the decor. We had a room on the back of the hotel with a lovely view of the intracoastal waterway which was lined with lovely homes and yachts docked in the canal. It was a picturesque view. The room was very comfortable, spacious and impeccably furnished. The service was excellent with staff not missing a beat. I would highly recommend this hotel to the discriminating traveller.
