$30 million transformation of The Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six Resort & Spa, Fort Lauderdale

The Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six Resort & Spa has come a long way since its original days as a small waterfront motel catering to the upscale yachting crowd. Fifty years later, this Fort Lauderdale landmark complete with a 127-slip mega-yacht marina, is a stunning 22-acre vacation paradise fresh from a $30 million transformation and belongs to the impressive collection of LXR Luxury Resorts & Hotels.  Its comprehensive redesign has encompassed guestrooms and suites, indoor and outdoor public spaces, food and beverage outlets, extensive meeting facilities, and entertainment venues. The original lobby has been opened up to take advantage of the property’s gorgeous tropical views, and features a casual yet upscale and modern living room ambiance complete with comfortable custom-designed, retro- curved chairs, sofas and chaise lounges. A sleek new bar, featuring mother-of- pearl shell tile, has been raised just high enough off the lobby to offer views of the lushly-landscaped pool and courtyard.
