Directly on Fort Lauderdale Beach, the Sheraton offers beachfront access at mid-range prices that undercut the area's luxury competitors. The rooftop pool with ocean views is exceptional, and beach chairs and umbrellas are available to guests. The beachfront location, above-average dining, and reliable Sheraton service make this excellent value for a beach vacation.
The Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel stands directly on Fort Lauderdale's celebrated oceanfront at 1501 S Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Atlantic beach at this stretch of Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd is among the finest in South Florida, combining the broad sandy shore and consistent surf characteristic of the region with the active entertainment district along Las Olas Boulevard just minutes away by car or rideshare.
The hotel's 15-story tower puts upper-floor rooms at an elevation that delivers panoramic Atlantic Ocean views extending to the horizon. Ocean-facing rooms with balconies are the property's signature accommodation, and the southeastern orientations provide sunrise lighting across the water. Room configurations span standard oceanview rooms and standard beachside rooms through upgraded suites with expanded living areas and wider balconies. Interior rooms facing west provide partial water views at lower rates.
The rooftop pool and deck is the Sheraton's most compelling feature, positioned at height for sweeping Atlantic views extending beyond the beach's immediate foreshore to the open ocean. The pool deck's bar and lounge service extends from morning through early evening, and the elevated setting distinguishes this pool experience from ground-level beach hotels in the area. At beach level, the hotel provides lounge chairs, umbrellas, and food and beverage service to guests using the private beach access.
The hotel's signature restaurant serves American cuisine with a Florida seafood focus, and a lobby bar provides casual dining and cocktail service. Las Olas Boulevard — Fort Lauderdale's primary dining and entertainment corridor — is approximately 10 minutes by car or rideshare from the hotel, offering a range of independent restaurants, galleries, and bars that complement the beach experience. Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is approximately 4 miles south, making the Sheraton a practical choice for travelers who want beachfront accommodation convenient to the airport.
