Pier Sixty-Six Unveils $1B Transformation For a New Era

Pier Sixty-Six Resort in Fort Lauderdale has unveiled a dazzling transformation, emerging as a premier 32-acre waterfront destination. With a $1 billion investment, the resort now offers 325 luxury rooms, a world-class superyacht marina, exclusive residences, and an expansive marina promenade featuring restaurants, retail spaces, and offices. This redevelopment celebrates the resort's legacy while embracing modern sophistication, positioning Pier Sixty-Six as a revitalized social hub along the Intracoastal Waterway.

A Culinary Evolution Begins
The grand reopening marks the debut of two fine-dining establishments, Calusso and Sotogrande, setting the stage for an exceptional, waterfront culinary journey. Calusso draws inspiration from the French and Italian Rivieras, offering tableside seafood, handcrafted pastas, and premium meats in an elegant setting overlooking the marina. Sotogrande, in contrast, brings the vibrant flavors of Southern Spain and the Eastern Mediterranean, featuring shareable plates and a lively communal dining experience.

Casual Dining Redefined
For more relaxed options, the resort offers an array of casual yet chic venues. Windows on 66 is a sophisticated lounge featuring global vodkas and gins paired with shareable bar snacks in a stylish, social atmosphere. Saltbreeze, a Latin-inspired café by the pool, offers refreshing cocktails and flavorful dishes, perfect for unwinding. Elate Market Café, located in the resort lobby, provides premium coffee, tea, fresh pastries, and elevated grab-and-go breakfast options for guests on the move.

Upcoming Culinary Highlights
Pier Sixty-Six’s culinary offerings are set to expand with four additional venues opening throughout the year. The Pier Top, reopening in March, is a revolving lounge on the 17th floor that promises 360-degree views of Fort Lauderdale, with champagne, caviar, and signature cocktails. The Nectar Room, launching in February, is a chic adult-only bar near the resort’s pool that will offer tropical cocktails, sushi, and live entertainment, creating a vibrant nightlife scene.

Unmatched Amenities and Event Spaces
Beyond dining, the resort features over 40,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event spaces, catering to weddings, conferences, and celebrations. Opening in February, the Zenova Spa & Wellness will introduce a 13,000-square-foot sanctuary with high-tech treatment rooms, a VIP suite, and unique amenities like the region's first authentic Snow Room and the Southeast’s first Ceremonial Sauna.

A Destination Redefined
With its luxurious accommodations, dynamic dining options, and innovative amenities, Pier Sixty-Six redefines waterfront living in Fort Lauderdale. This revitalized landmark seamlessly blends heritage with modern elegance, solidifying its position as a premier destination for locals and visitors alike.
