Riverside Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want to stay on Las Olas Boulevard and walk to shops, restaurants and the riverwalk. It is not cheap, and some basics such as parking, Wi-Fi and breakfast are not confirmed in our data, so check them first.

This is our Best Value pick in Fort Lauderdale, a 4-star hotel at 620 East Las Olas Boulevard. It suits couples and city visitors who want to be on foot near shops and dining, and who value friendly service. Our data also tags it as pet-friendly, which needs confirming with the hotel.
Skip it if you need a low price or plan to spend your days in Dania Beach or Oakland Park, which are a long way off. Our Budget pick costs much less.
Location and getting around
Location is the main strength. Guests rate it 9.7 out of 10 and describe the hotel as being on Las Olas Boulevard, near shops, dining, the riverwalk and water taxi stops. The area is listed as Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale.
The two places in our nearby list are far. Oakland Park is about 6.4 km away, roughly 80 minutes on foot, and Dania Beach about 6.8 km, around 85 minutes. These are straight-line estimates. For either one, use public transport or a taxi.
Parking is not listed among the facilities in our data. If you are driving, ask the hotel whether it has parking and what it costs before you book.
What guests say
The overall score is 8.6 out of 10 from 1,053 reviews. That placed it third on review score among the 9 properties we compared.
Besides the location, guests praise the staff as friendly, helpful and professional, and say they accommodate requests.
The main complaint is small but telling. Guests find the room rates reasonable but dislike the high charge for bottled water. It is a reminder to check what extras cost during your stay.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults was €184.20 a night, about €368 for both nights. The sample median was €158.82, so this sits above it. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, La Quinta by Wyndham Ft Lauderdale Cypress Creek, was €111.45 a night with a score of 8.1. Our Luxury pick, Pier Sixty-Six, was €486.32 a night with a score of 9.3.
The Riverside costs about €73 a night more than the Budget pick and gives you a better score and a walkable Las Olas address. It costs about €302 a night less than the Luxury pick. For visitors who want to walk to shops and restaurants, that middle position is the point.
