Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale
Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale is really two buildings in one — and that's the opportunity. The Arquitectonica-designed 24-story tower at 1 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard (completed 2007) holds 34 condo-hotel residences (floors 15–17) and 28 private luxury residences (floors 18–25). The condo-hotel units (1–2 bedrooms, 900–2,600 sq ft) can be placed in the hotel's rental program for income; the private residences (2–4 bedrooms, up to roughly 10,000 sq ft) sit above it all with a private lobby, private elevators, and a doorman. Owners plug into the full Ritz-Carlton resort: 17,000-square-foot spa, infinity pool, beach access,...

For buyers who want a luxury residence that can also work as an investment, the Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale remains the beach's definitive condo-hotel address — with resales and rental-program units trading steadily.
Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale Frequently Asked Questions
❯ What's the difference between a condo-hotel unit and a private residence?
Condo-hotel residences sit on floors 15–17 with 1- and 2-bedroom plans from about 900 to 2,600 square feet, designed for the hotel rental program. Private luxury residences occupy floors 18–25 with 2- to 4-bedroom plans reaching roughly 10,000 square feet, plus a private lobby entrance, private elevators, and a doorman.
❯ How does the hotel rental program work?
Owners of condo-hotel units at the Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale may enroll their residences in the Ritz-Carlton's rental management program, earning income when they're not in residence. Building materials note that owners can occupy their units without restrictions. Investors should review current revenue splits, fees, and program terms before purchasing.
❯ Who designed the tower?
The tower was designed by Arquitectonica, the Miami-founded international firm (est. 1977) behind landmarks including Brickell City Centre in Miami, the Westin Times Square in New York, and Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
❯ What are the HOA fees?
Fees vary enormously by unit type — recent market data shows monthly HOA dues ranging from roughly $3,335 for smaller condo-hotel units to over $12,000 for the largest private residences. Buyers must verify exact dues and rental-program fees for the specific unit.
❯ Is the building pet friendly?
Yes, the Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale is pet friendly. As always, confirm any current size or quantity restrictions with the association, since policies are set in the condo documents.
❯ What dining is available on site?
Burlock Coast — the lobby restaurant known for its seafood and rum-centric bar — anchors the dining program, joined by a lobby bar, poolside café, private cabanas with service, and full in-room dining. Residents also have the run of the resort's 600-seat ballroom and event spaces.

The Condo-Hotel Rental Program
The rental program is the reason many buyers choose the Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale over a conventional luxury condo. Condo-hotel owners get a genuine two-way asset: a 1- or 2-bedroom residence they can occupy without restrictions, plus the option to place it in the Ritz-Carlton's professional rental management when they're away.
The buyer mix reflects that: part pied-à-terre owners, part investors running occupancy and rate numbers. Either way, the downside protection is the same at the Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale — a 2007 Arquitectonica tower on Fort Lauderdale Beach with a five-diamond hospitality operation behind it. Buyers comparing branded options should also see The W Fort Lauderdale up the beach and the newer Ritz-Carlton Residences Fort Lauderdale Beach project.
Design & Architecture by Arquitectonica
Arquitectonica's Fort Lauderdale tower is a study in branded restraint: bold modernist geometry softened for a beachfront resort, with spacious balconies framing panoramic ocean, Intracoastal, and skyline views. Inside: marble and hardwood floors, gourmet kitchens, Italian marble baths.
The amenity program matches the architecture: a 17,000-square-foot European spa and fitness center, infinity-edge pool overlooking the beach, private cabanas, poolside dining, and that 5,000-bottle wine room. The pitch is completeness — no phase-two amenity coming, no developer promise pending. The Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale is a finished, operating luxury ecosystem, and its residences trade accordingly.
