Now You Can Get Hollywood Hair With SoFla Views, At the W Fort Lauderdale
No hot SoFla hotel is complete without a sleek salon doling out sleek tresses, so it was inevitable that the W Fort Lauderdale would join the blowout set. And it comes with serious A-list cred, as the beachfront property is the proud new location of a Ted Gibson Salon.
For anyone who doesn't know, Gibson is the kind of hairstylist who's always in demand at events like last night's Golden Globes. You may have also seen him work his magic on What Not to Wear.

All That's Missing From the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale's Full-Moon Party is a Bowl of Keys
If you want to head to the hot party of the summer, go out when the moon is full. The Ritz-Carlton South Beach and Hotel Solamar throw full moon parties, but the latest to have the celestial celebrations is the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale.
The Fort Lauderdale hotel will offer a new spin on the moonlit soirees by giving it a '70s theme on its July 15 event from 7 to 10 p.m. An extra incentive to go, aside from the fact that you can break out those bell bottoms again, is that it's free.

The Un-Trump Fort Lauderdale Is Still Blowing in the Wind
The Fort Lauderdale hotel scene got its latest pop with the opening of B Ocean recently, but one other much-hyped opening--one that that crashed and burned--is still casting an empty shadow on the beach. We're talking about the ill-fated Trump Fort Lauderdale--which is no longer a Trump, and no longer much of anything, really...
When we last checked in on the project, we were hoping that someone else would scoop up the beachfront property, maybe in time for Christmas 2011. Yeah, well, thanks for nothing, Santa.

The B Ocean Hotel is Not Quite The W But You Will B Surprised
The other night we finally got to experience the new B Hotels and Resorts brand at their first (and only) hotel, The B Ocean Hotel in Fort Lauderdale.
We nabbed a rate of $169, thanks to a special promo on Jetsetter.com and even before arriving, we were already comparing this place to the W Fort Lauderdale down the road.
Don't worry, W, your standing as the Prom King of boutique hotels is not in any jeopardy at all. But B Ocean definitely surprised us with their rooms and amenities. We just hope that future B Hotels open in more exciting places than Fort Lauderdale.

Dos Caminos Brings Its Guacamole to Fort Lauderdale...in the Sheraton?
We guess stranger things have happened but we're still perplexed as to why one of our favorite Mexican eateries, Dos Caminos, chose the Sheraton Fort Lauderdale (formerly the Yankee Clipper) to open their fourth restaurant (the other three are in New York and Vegas.)
Located off the lobby of the hotel and right below the hotel's iconic, uh, hull, Dos Caminos is a fairly large and seductive space that serves blueberry pomegranate margaritas, freshly made guacamole and super savory fish tacos. And the Mexico City Street Corn on the cob, topped with mayo, lime, chile, and cotija cheese, may change your life. There's an outdoor patio too, perfect for warm breezy nights.
But this is not like the other Dos Caminos. First, it's in Fort Lauderdale, home to aging Spring Breakers. You can put on a tight dress and high heels if you like but most people will be wearing only slightly fancier versions of their beach attire.

Ft. Lauderdale's Royal Palms to be Crowned Largest Gay Hotel in North America
If you are looking for a Fort Lauderdale alternative to Lords South Beach, head down to the Royal Palms Resort & Spa. The Royal Palms hopes to even surpass its SoBe peer with a soon-to-be-unveiled expansion that will make it the largest luxury gay hotel in North America.
The hotel will debut its 62-room expansion on April 11. There will be some nice tech perks: All rooms will come with 42-inch flat-screen TVs, free WiFi throughout the property, and access to iPad 2s and mobile phones. But the biggest amenity is a 54' private yacht, available for guest trips, commitment ceremonies and more.

'B' Ready for B Ocean Fort Lauderdale's Opening Today
Today's the big opening day for B Ocean Fort Lauderdale, the hotel brand that substitutes as many B's for be's as is humanly possible. So get ready for an onslaught of "B our guest" and other marketing gimmicks.
That's what we dislike about it, but here's what we're liking about the Fort Lauderdale hotel, the first of the B Hotels brand and its signature property: All 240 rooms overlook the Atlantic Ocean; free WiFi is provided; rooms come with "B Treated," some goodies; and there is a patio bar called Quench with an infinity pool.

Three Words To Make Your Winter Better: Taco Beach Shack
This tasty piece of news slipped by us in December, but now we're in the middle of the January freeze, we think we're going to savor it even more: Hollywood Beach Suites, Hostel + Hotel in Florida has a brand new Mexican cantina, Taco Beach Shack. We love all three of those things, so how can it go wrong?
Located on A1A just off Hollywood Boulevard, the huge outdoor space has a wraparound bar, sofas, ping-pong tables, large plasma screens--and soon it will also have a swimming pool.

B Ocean Hotel Won't B Opening In Fort Lauderdale Until January 24
If your winter getaway plans went down the toilet with the Snowpocalypse in December, just think: you still have a few more months of miserably cold weather, ice and snow to contend with. But don't worry, B happy! The B Ocean Hotel on A1A in Fort Lauderdale is now opening on January 24, giving snowbirds something to look forward to.
As we've mentioned here before, the hotel's B-randing gets old fast--and it hasn't even opened yet!--but if we can get take a deep breath and get past all of that, we think there's a pretty darn good hotel here.
