History
Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale opened in 2022 as a 22-story oceanfront tower at 525 North Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard, the brand's second Florida oceanfront property after Four Seasons Surfside. The building was purpose-built on the Fort Lauderdale Beach strip, on ground that carries a long coastal hospitality history: the historic 1920 Lauderdale Beach Hotel once anchored this stretch of shoreline, and Bonnet House — the 35-acre subtropical estate of artist Frederic Clay Bartlett and his wife Evelyn Fortune Bartlett, now a museum and garden open to the public — sits a mile to the north, a reminder of the early-20th-century era when Fort Lauderdale's beachfront was the province of wealthy Northerners seeking a winter retreat.
The Venetian canals that gave Fort Lauderdale its nickname 'the Venice of America' are a few blocks inland, and the Inter-Coastal Waterway that defines the city's residential character runs parallel to the ocean a short distance west. The Four Seasons arrived at a moment when Fort Lauderdale was completing a long transition from a Spring Break destination into a serious luxury market, its yachting industry and arts scene providing an increasingly sophisticated audience for the quality of hospitality the brand represents.
The hotel's dining program brought immediate national attention: MAASS, a Michelin-recognized concept restaurant, and Evelyn's, an all-day Mediterranean coastal dining room led by chef Brandon Salomon, established the property as a serious gastronomic destination within its first year of operation. The hotel earned the AAA Five Diamond distinction in 2023, its first full year of operation, and has maintained it through 2026. Two outdoor pools, a full spa and fitness center, and a kids' club complete a property that has positioned itself at the top of the Fort Lauderdale luxury market within three years of opening.
The setting
Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale commands an oceanfront position at 525 North Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard, in a city long nicknamed the 'Venice of America' for its labyrinthine canal system. Sebastian Street Beach is an eleven-minute walk; Hugh Taylor Birch State Park — a preserved hammock donated to the state in 1942 — is eighteen minutes on foot. The 35-acre Bonnet House Museum and Gardens, a National Register estate, is ten minutes by car, and Las Olas Boulevard's dining and design scene grounds the property in a resort corridor of uncommon natural and cultural depth.
