My friend and I spent 4 days recently at The Pillars. It's tucked away about a block back from the Ft. Lauderdale Beach and right on the Intercostal. It is small and lovely. The pool area is the best, especially if you eat dinner there. They serve your meal right on the pier, overlooking the mansions and boats. It's away from the touristy area and the rooms are small but very nice. It is pricey and our dinner was very expensive but very good. My only quibble is I wish they would have had some tea or coffee sitting out. Breakfast was at a cost and the water they had out by the pool area needed refilled often. Our ice bucket in our room had a crack in the bottom and my friends clothes got wet and stained. They did wash them for us, but the stain wouldn't come out. They reimbursed us for the cost of the clothes. They are very nice and it's very beautiful, but be expected to pay alot for your stay.

One of our fellow guests described this hotel as "a little gem" and this just about sums it up. Hotel's tranquil location excellent but only a block from the beach and all the bustle that goes with it. Rooms comfortable, spacious and well appointed although storage for clothing was limited. Pool area surroundings are delightful and the web site photos dont do it justice, Location next to the river is stunning particularly in the evening. Sadly the threat of rain and the rain itself prevented us eating outside on the two evenings we dined there but the food was very good even if the menu didnt change much between the two nights. Oddly drinks in the hotel are confined to wine and beer with no spirits. Whiskey and gin drinkers beware and bring your own. Much better value than Mancinis which was recommended and which was very ordinary Italian in every way apart from the price. Free internet room access is a bonus and the staff are truly delightful and helpful. Its a bit like being guests in someone's private house apart from the bill at the end.

It's more than an upscale, friendly, service oriented, well located, quiet place. An Algerian chef comes in to make dinner (with a little notice, he'll whip up a couscous, not on the menu), served overlooking the inland waterway. We ate at local favorite Blue Moon Fish Company, and at (currently Trip Advisor's #1 Ft. Lauderdale restaurant) Cafe Seville, but the Pillars has the best food of the three. Don't repeat the often made mistake of waiting until the end of your stay to try the Pillar's restaurant. You won't be sorry. By the way, one review I read described this place as a redecorated motel. That's unfair. It's true that it's not Four Seasons elegance. For example, they're missing a few easy amenities, such as makeup mirror, second sink, et. al. About a football field away from the Ritz Carleton, which is on the beach and among the noise and bustle of Route A1A, the Pillars is on the intracoastal waterway, quiet, cozy, convenient, and everything we wanted.

We love the Pillars. Everytime we stay there we are never disappointed. The minute you enter the Pillars, you are taken back to old time Florida in busy Fort Lauderdale, I can't believe it! No matter what the stress, we are transformed, relaxed and catered to at the Pillars. The room is beautiful, the beds very comfy and make sure you try dinner, the chef does a great job. The view is spectaular, I find myself staying up late at night just sitting at the dock and gazing at the water and the stars - I love it! The staff can't do enough for you, whatever we ask for , we get - love it! Tired, need a short fix, go visit the Pillars, you won't be sorry.
