My friend and I spent 4 days recently at The Pillars. It's tucked away about a block back from the Ft. Lauderdale Beach and right on the Intercostal. It is small and lovely. The pool area is the best, especially if you eat dinner there. They serve your meal right on the pier, overlooking the mansions and boats. It's away... more

One of our fellow guests described this hotel as "a little gem" and this just about sums it up. Hotel's tranquil location excellent but only a block from the beach and all the bustle that goes with it. Rooms comfortable, spacious and well appointed although storage for clothing was limited. Pool area surroundings are delightful and the web site photos... more

It's more than an upscale, friendly, service oriented, well located, quiet place. An Algerian chef comes in to make dinner (with a little notice, he'll whip up a couscous, not on the menu), served overlooking the inland waterway. We ate at local favorite Blue Moon Fish Company, and at (currently Trip Advisor's #1 Ft. Lauderdale restaurant) Cafe Seville, but the... more

We love the Pillars. Everytime we stay there we are never disappointed. The minute you enter the Pillars, you are taken back to old time Florida in busy Fort Lauderdale, I can't believe it! No matter what the stress, we are transformed, relaxed and catered to at the Pillars. The room is beautiful, the beds very comfy and make sure... more

The Pillars is a wonderful place to go for relaxation and elegance. However, on our third visit there a few weeks ago, I noticed a few gaps: First, while there are non-alcoholic drinks [e.g., iced tea, lemonade, water] available by the pool, they were not refilled all afternoon. When this was called to the attention of the front desk, it... more

We have stayed at The Pillars several times. And, without fail, we have had an excellent experience. The staff could not be more friendly and welcoming. You quickly feel like part of a family. Caroline and her associates are the very best!! We had our son and his girl friend join us for a few days and to our great... more

Stayed three nights (Jan. 6-9) in a second floor poolside suite. The hotel is quiet, and the staff is very attentive. If you stay, be sure to enjoy at least one meal at the hotel--the chef is great. Location is prime. more

We stayed at The Pillars for two nights pre-cruise. Despite being "wowed" by the positive reviews on this site, we were still thrilled with our stay. It truly lived up to our high expectations. From the car arrainged by the staff to pick us up at FLL to the unique private terrace (Room 23) the Pillars was consistently excellent. Although... more

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights before driving down to the keys. This was a fantastic move as our flight was delayed by 7 hours which meant we arrived into Fort L 2am with no onward journey to contend with. The hotel has a "plantation" feel. We had a water side room with verandah and chairs. Breakfast was... more
