Shorebreak Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort
Midcentury coastal boutique. Art deco bones with a warm navy, yellow, and neutral color palette. Lush botanical courtyards, vintage-inspired fridges in rooms, local murals, and a rooftop bar that becomes the neighborhood hangout at sunset.

Why It Matters
One of Fort Lauderdale's most historically rooted beach hotels — the 1949 Escape Hotel origin story is baked into the restaurant name, the branding, and the atmosphere. The rooftop pool with Intracoastal views and the nightly events programming set it apart from the standard beach-block slab.
A 96-room boutique resort in Fort Lauderdale's North Beach Village, sandwiched between the beach and the Intracoastal Waterway. Originally opened as the Escape Hotel in 1949 — the first hotel near the beach to have a swimming pool and stay open year-round — it was rebranded and renovated in late 2022. Two pools (one courtyard, one rooftop on the 8th floor), a coastal Italian restaurant, and an active social programming calendar make it more than a place to sleep.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Accessible Room
Accessible room with roll-in shower or visual notification options. Same coastal design as standard rooms — custom mattress, Atelier Bloem amenities, retro fridge, and bathrobes — with full ADA compliance built in.
Essential Room
The entry-level room, but not basic. Custom mattress, plush pillows, Atelier Bloem bath amenities, bathrobes, a signature turquoise retro fridge, and a coastal wood table for dining or work. Beach bag pre-stocked and ready to go. No in-room coffee maker — that's a lobby-only perk.
Goodland Suite
The flagship suite category, named after the property's prior identity as Kimpton Goodland. Top-tier space with full Kimpton amenity kit and premium positioning within the property.
Junior Suite
Spacious coastal suite with coastal wood finishes throughout. Room to actually spread out: cushy sofa bed, dedicated lounge chair, turquoise retro fridge, and a Marshall Bluetooth speaker to set the soundtrack. Atelier Bloem bath products, plush robes, and the same pre-packed beach bag.
Premium Room
Step up from Essential with upgraded finishes and select rooms that access the rooftop pool with Intracoastal views. Same signature kit — custom mattress, Atelier Bloem bath products, retro fridge, bathrobes — but a notch above in position and finish.
