DK Eyewitness "New Orleans meets Fort Lauderdale at this charming six-story 1936 hotel, on a bustling thoroughfare of shops, cafés, and bars."
Rough Guide "Built in 1936, this elegant and comfortable option is in the heart of the action downtown on Las Olas. If you’d like a quieter room, request one at the back. $239."
