Starwood Signs Le Meridien Hotel in Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale

Starwood has signed a Le Méridien hotel in Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale.

Le Méridien Fort Lauderdale Airport will debut in 2017, following a comprehensive $30 million renovation and conversion of the hotel.

Once the work is complete, the hotel’s arrival experience will boast a transformed glass curtain wall façade and upgrades to the porte-cochere as well as large-scale artwork in high impact areas.

Le Méridien Fort Lauderdale Airport will feature 245 guestrooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as two redesigned restaurants – one with a mid-century modern, open kitchen concept – and the brand’s signature Latitude Bar.

Le Méridien Fort Lauderdale Airport will also offer an expanded fitness centre, a renovated outdoor pool and 20,000 square feet of state-of-the-art flexible meeting space.

The hotel transformation is being carried out by a team of design and construction specialists, including Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates and Daniels Brothers Inc., in addition to Dash Design, for interior design; Nievera Williams Design for landscape design; and Tex Lighting for lighting design.

“We are delighted to partner with Starwood to introduce Le Méridien in Fort Lauderdale, following the top-to-bottom transformation and repositioning of this ideally located hotel,” said owner and prominent U.S. real estate developer Charles S. Cohen, President and CEO of New York-based Cohen Brothers Realty Corporation. “Le Méridien Fort Lauderdale Airport will help to meet rising demand for high-quality lodging within close proximity of the airport, Broward County Convention Center and the downtown business district and will also serve the growing need for meeting rooms and event facilities for tenants of our corporate center.”

Located just minutes from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Fort Lauderdale Everglades Cruise Port, the hotel also neighbors several beaches, downtown Fort Lauderdale, and the restaurants, night clubs and boutiques of nearby Miami Beach.

Le Méridien Fort Lauderdale Airport will be part of Cohen’s distinctive Design Center of the Americas (DCOTA) campus, a 40-acre, three-building Class A design and office center in Dania Beach. Guests will be able to enjoy convenient access to Broward Center for the Performing Arts, NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale, Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale and BB&T Center.
