"A corner guest room transformed into a Roaring Twenties–inspired speakeasy that guests access by reserving and receiving a password via text; the front desk then provides an unmarked key. Decorated with retro lamps and vintage artwork, the compact space emphasizes intimacy and conversation, offering a swanky, period-evocative setting and carefully crafted cocktails that set it apart from larger South Florida bars." - Matt Kirouac

"A hotel in Downtown Fort Lauderdale offering modern vibes." - Laine Doss
"Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale features city views from guest room balconies, a rooftop pool, and a unique dining concept called Room Nine01. The hotel is ideal for business travelers requiring a downtown location." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Used a Globalist Guest of Honor benefit to arrange family stays that included standard suite upgrades, complimentary breakfast, and 4 p.m. checkout, enhancing the overall convenience and comfort of the visits." - Paul Rubio

"Tucked inside the Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale, I visited a hotel-room speakeasy called 901, a pandemic pivot with a bartender-in-residence program that invites bars from around the U.S. that are currently closed or struggling to pop up in the space. The intimate bar channels serious 1920s Prohibition vibes — bookshelves lined with vintage titles, a record player, velvet furniture, antique artifacts, and artwork — and only seats up to six guests at a time, bookable by reservation only; upon arrival guests are given a password to get a key, then asked to look for the red light next to an unmarked door at the end of the hotel's 9th-floor hallway and knock twice to enter. The menu at 901 features cocktails and cuisine created just for the space by executive chef Greg McGowan, including lobster rolls, bone marrow, and duck fat fried potatoes with truffle crème fraiche, and the space hosts rotating pop-ups from local and national bartenders (currently Gio Gutierrez hosting a Cuban rum room March 30 to April 1; Austin’s Midnight Cowboy from April 12-8; Nashville and Atlanta’s Red Phone Booth from May 9-17; and Adults Only from LA from June 8-13). To book, guests can email 901@hyatt.com or visit Roomnine01.com; there is an F&B minimum of $50 per person, with a one-hour minimum for 1-2 guests and a two-hour minimum for 3-6 guests." - Olee Fowler
