Outdoor Pool

Nestled like a hidden jewel along the Intracoastal Waterway, the outdoor pool at The Pillars Hotel & Club is an oasis of sophisticated tranquility.

The serene, sapphire-blue water shimmers under the South Florida sun, inviting guests to escape the heat from the comfort of plush, white-cushioned lounge chairs arranged neatly on the stone deck.

Lush, tropical landscaping, including towering palms and vibrant bougainvillea, creates a sense of secluded privacy, while the gentle lapping of water provides a soothing soundtrack.

The pool’s most captivating feature is its immediate proximity to the waterway, offering an exclusive, front-row view of magnificent yachts gliding past, transforming a simple swim into a uniquely elegant and quintessentially Fort Lauderdale experience.

Dining

Dining at The Pillars is an affair of intimate exclusivity, centered around its aptly named restaurant, The Secret Garden.

Reserved for hotel guests and private club members, the experience unfolds on an enchanting waterfront terrace that puts you directly at the edge of the Intracoastal Waterway.

By day, tables are set under the shade of umbrellas for sun-dappled lunches, while evenings transform the space into a breathtakingly romantic scene, with the soft glow of candles and lanterns reflecting on the water.

The menu showcases sophisticated culinary artistry, featuring fresh, thoughtfully sourced ingredients crafted into exquisite dishes.

The true luxury, however, lies in the serene, private atmosphere, where the only distractions are the gentle clinking of glasses and the silent, majestic parade of yachts gliding by just feet from your table.

Bar

The bar at The Pillars Hotel is an intimate sanctuary, a stark contrast to the sprawling, boisterous lounges found elsewhere. It evokes the spirit of a classic, private club drawing-room, enveloped in an atmosphere of warm, hushed sophistication.

The space is defined by its rich, dark wood finishes, plush leather seating, and soft, ambient lighting that invites close conversation.

Here, the focus is on the art of the perfectly crafted cocktail; the bartender is a mixologist dedicated to mastering the classics, from a perfectly balanced Negroni to a crisply chilled martini.

It is the quintessential setting for a quiet pre-dinner aperitif or a lingering nightcap, a refined retreat where the clinking of ice in a crystal glass provides the only necessary soundtrack.
