December is my favorite month because I get to celebrate my birthday, Christmas and bring in a new year. I usually treat myself to a trip around this time, but I decided to change things up a bit this year. Instead, I had a two-day staycation at the beautiful Dalmar Hotel in Fort Lauderdale.
About the Hotel
The Dalmar is Fort Lauderdale’s newest luxury boutique hotel. The rooms are beautifully decorated with a modern but edgy feel.
I stayed in the Grand Canal street room, which includes a king bed, a sitting area, and a balcony with views of downtown Fort Lauderdale and the beach.
What To-Do During Your Stay
- Lounge by the pool: I spent some time lounging by the pool during my stay. I enjoyed the breathtaking view of the city while sipping a cocktail from the poolside bar.
- Yoga Class: I didn’t get a chance to attend a class, but there’s a yoga studio on the first floor.
- Dinner: This might be my absolute favorite part of my stay. The hotel has two amazing restaurants. The Sparrow is a rooftop restaurant with amazing views of the city and fantastic food. The Terrace Grill is an American-style restaurant with a wide selection of dishes.
- Bike Ride: The hotel provides complimentary bike rentals — a perfect way to explore the city. I recommend riding through Las Olas, near the waterfront, and enjoying the beautiful weather Florida offers.
- Beach Day: The hotel provides a shuttle to and from the beach with exclusive access to beach chairs and umbrellas.
The entire stay was relaxing and much needed after a busy 2022. Even if you can’t make it to Fort Lauderdale, Marriott has many hotels to choose from. As a member, you get access to perks like members-only rates, mobile check-in and free in room wi-fi.
