The four-pearl Sonesta Fort Lauderdale is a stylish property located across the street from Fort Lauderdale Beach. The sleek, all-white hotel has a striking, curved design that gives its 240 guest rooms spectacular ocean views. Units are equipped with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and Keurig coffeemakers, and boast seating areas and desks, but they lack balconies or terraces. The hotel's elegant on-site restaurant is a highlight, but other features -- an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and a spa -- are small and a bit disappointing. There's also a daily resort fee, although it includes two free welcome drinks at the lobby or poolside bar. Travelers could compare rates with the nearby Atlantic Resort and Spa, a good alternative.
