Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants announced today it will open the newest and hottest boutique hotel in Fort Lauderdale, marking the brand's entrance in the market and seventh overall in the Sunshine State. Set to open next month, The Kimpton Goodland Hotel - Fort Lauderdale Beach, will place emphasis on discovery of experience and want-for-nothing amenities. Blending in with the mid-century, nostalgic look and feel of its North Beach Village neighborhood, The Kimpton Goodland will span three two-story buildings, inclusive of an eclectic American restaurant and a 500-square-foot private dining room, state-of-the-art fitness center and two private pools, each complete with activated pool bar and cabanas. The hotel is owned by Banyan Investment Group and operated by Hotel Equities. The Goodland is Hotel Equities' first Kimpton-branded property to join its portfolio following Kimpton's recent nod to add the company to its shortlist of approved managers to operate the brand's luxury hotels.

An adaptive reuse of the historic Escape Hotel, which originally opened in 1950 as the first year-round resort in Fort Lauderdale Beach, The Kimpton Goodland will take on a new first as the first true boutique hotel to open in the popular beach destination. Set back from the hustle and bustle on the A1A, The Goodland offers a tucked-away oasis of lush greenery and tropical landscaping paired with a fresh color palette with pops of sun-drenched South Florida colors like turquoise and terra cotta to present an entirely laid-back vibe. With social programming aimed to appeal to hotel guests and locals alike, The Goodland will complement the vibrancy of the neighborhood and welcome all to come as they are.

A captivating visual juxtaposition, the ground-floor restaurant, The Botanic at The Goodland, punches up the volume with layered textures and vibrant colors. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, The Botanic will serve up bold, healthful and eclectic flavors that feature local ingredients and Latin and Caribbean influences. With a menu that centers on locally-sourced ingredients, shareable plates, a creative beverage program and kicked-up energy, The Botanic has its sights on becoming a lively neighborhood favorite. The adjacent, pool-side Good Bar at The Goodland continues the good vibes but with a decidedly more relaxed scene. Set amongst lush landscaping, this secluded outdoor bar and lounge will feature a concise menu of shareable plates and lighter fare with a beverage menu featuring gin and tonics, inventive frozen drinks and patio-perfect white and rosé wines.
