Pillars Hotel

Fort Lauderdale


This place is so protective that we couldn't even enter; they wouldn't return our calls. Let's hope you have more luck because, from all reports, this tiny boutique B&B radiates hushed good taste and is often booked months in advance. A block behind the beach, and on a wide road, it faces one of the best sunsets in town.
