Recommended Hotels & Inns in Fort Lauderdale:
The Flamingo: Inn Amongst the Flowers

“The Flamingo: Inn Amongst the Flowers” is a sunny and charming palm-filled enclave. Owned by partners Chip and Ray, it’s classically Floridian in its vibe and charms. Inside its gates you’ll find a great pool area, lots of palms and greenery, patio tables and chairs which are perfect for breakfasting, and the rooms are stylish and stately, breezy and handsome with sunny accents, comfy furnishings (and yes, some sexy black and white photographs). The vibe is very upscale and friendly.

It’s nice to chat a bit over breakfast or cocktails with your fellow guests, who tend to be a mix of gay men, some couples, some groups of friends, from places like Atlanta, Chicago, New York and Amsterdam. There’s an evening cocktail hour from 5:30-6:30, which provides a fun but laid-back chance to drink and mingle.

Of all the gay-owned small resorts and B&B’s in Fort Lauderdale, the Flamingo is truly one of the best, and certainly among the most upscale and welcoming.
