Pick The Guitar Hotel if you want a casino-resort base near Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood rather than a Miami Beach beach stay.

Rooms: variety vs scale

Fontainebleau is a dining destination with 12 restaurants and multiple bars, from fine dining to casual poolside spots.

  • Five restaurants and three bars/lounges on property; two coffee shops/cafes for snacks and quick bites.
  • 24-hour room service and snack/deli options available for convenience.
  • Dining variety is solid but geared to a casino-resort model rather than a beachfront culinary lineup.

  • Pool hours generally from 6:30 AM to sunset; cabanas and beach loungers available for rent.
