The family-run, 20-room Premiere Hotel is a value property that offers retro charm and beach access one block away. There’s on-site parking, a heated outdoor pool, barbecue cookouts on a patio, and personalized concierge service. Contemporary rooms include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and microwaves. Efficiency Rooms and Suites offer full kitchens and partial sea views. However, a high-rise will be constructed in 2015, slightly obstructing ocean views.

As at other Hyatt Places, the Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale's lobby is best described as "Starbucks chic," with warm colors and a prominent 24-hour cafe. Rooms are large and contemporary (if not quite stylish) and all have separate living areas and flat-screen TVs. The location is convenient for business travelers making a quick trip and people going on cruises leaving from Fort Everglades, and freebies (breakfast, Wi-Fi, self-parking) add value -- but it's not on the beach, unlike most Fort Lauderdale hotels.

The quiet, romantic 18-room Pillars Hotel feels like it could be someone's waterfront home, with its well-kept grounds, casual, beach-y decor, lovely terraces, and bright but small rooms and bathrooms. The hotel's highlight is its courtyard pool, which features a beautiful view of the Intracoastal Waterway, but those wanting to stay directly on the beach may consider the Pelican Grand Beach Resort, which is larger but has a similar beach-cottage feel in the rooms and restaurants.

Worthington Guest House is an all-male, gay-owned hotel with 63 rooms located across three fenced-in connected properties, designed to provide privacy at the three clothing-optional 24-hour pools, two hot tubs, and courtyards. A cafe serves lunch, free continental breakfast is provided poolside, and guests have access to a small gym. Spacious, clean rooms feature simple -- and sometimes worn -- furnishings and suites have kitchenettes with large refrigerators.

The mid-range Fort Lauderdale Manhattan Tower is a midcentury modern property with 13 apartments and studios situated on the Intracoastal Waterway, a few blocks from the beach. All units are individually decorated with a quirky mix of vintage and newer pieces, and all have full kitchens. Some provide outstanding views of the waterway and the many boats passing by. The waterfront terrace is a relaxing place to hang out, and the outdoor pool is also a plus. There's nowhere quite like the Manhattan Tower in Fort Lauderdale, but Snooze also has vintage-modern charm and kitchenettes, though it's on busy A1A and lacks a pool.

The four-pearl Pelican Grand Beach Resort is a 159-room hotel that's slightly boho and a bit Southern belle, with a prime beachfront location. Rooms are charming, with cottage and shabby-chic details plus balconies and vintage bathrooms -- some have ocean views. Direct beach access helps sweeten the deal even further, as does the large pool with lazy river. The hotel also has a spa, fitness room, a restaurant, and even an ice cream shop to really capture that beachy vibe. While there's plenty of seclusion and privacy, there's nothing within an easy walk, and it's a five- to 15-minute drive to the main areas of restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. Travelers may also want to consider the Atlantic Resort and Spa, which is closer to downtown Fort Lauderdale and has lower rates.

Although there's a pool deck overlooking the ocean, a lovely spa, and a cutting-edge gym, the real standouts in this upscale hotel are the large studios and suites, each equipped with a full kitchenette/kitchen, living area or separate living room, and spacious marble bathroom. All 124 units also have private furnished balconies overlooking the ocean. The stylish ground floor restaurant and lounge includes a wrap-around porch for eating alfresco, and more casual dining can be had up on the pool deck. There are several similar properties in the surrounding area, so travelers might want to shop around. For example, the nearby W Fort Lauderdale is a stylish choice with two pools, a Bliss spa, a steakhouse, and popular bars and lounges, but it's more expensive.
