Riverside Hotel Review

On Las Olas Boulevard, just steps from boutiques, restaurants, and art galleries, Fort Lauderdale's oldest hotel debuted in 1936, but frequent renovations have kept it looking great in true Tommy Bahamas style. Penthouse suites in the newer 12-story executive tower have balconies with sweeping views of Las Olas, New River, and the downtown skyline. Historic photos grace hallways, and rooms are outfitted with antique oak furnishings and framed prints. Enjoy afternoon tea in the spruced-up lobby with free Wi-Fi, and dine at Indigo, where American favorites include steaks and seafood. For private dining, the hotel's Wine Room has a 4,000-bottle cellar; a reservations-only English afternoon-tea program (choose from Classic, Full, or Royal) unfolds in the lobby.

    I really liked this hotel, although the room was small for the price, and the bathroom was very small. But, as a solo traveler and a one night stay, not a big deal. The main restaurant the next morning for a very relaxing precruise breakfast was wonderful. The garden area outside the lobby is beautiful, lush, with pretty furniture, etc. I would definitely stay here again.
