The Dalmar

Famous for its bustling beach and winding intracoastal waterway that earned it the nickname the Venice of America, Fort Lauderdale is a growing hub for young professionals, small businesses and millennials looking for a taste of city life minus the huge crowds and horrendous traffic. That’s why, even though it’s a few miles from the ocean, nestled in the trendy, bohemian Victoria Park neighborhood, The Dalmar hotel presents itself as an appealing, boutique option for discerning vacationers and locals looking for an Instagram-worthy escape. Located within walking distance of numerous coffee shops, cocktail bars, beer gardens and breweries, The Dalmar adds its own set of hip, high-end offerings to the area with an onsite cafe, poolside restaurant and its crowning jewel, Sparrow, a 25th-floor rooftop cocktail bar spearheaded by New York cocktail institution Death & Co. As downtown Fort Lauderdale continues to up its nightlife and dining game, The Dalmar’s lush, midcentury-modern design blending high-end amenities with 1960s nostalgia elevates it all to a new level.
