Review of The Diplomat Beach Resort by Hilton – Fort Lauderdale

by GO GlobeHopper

Located on the pristine shores of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the Diplomat Beach Resort by Hilton stands as a beacon of luxury and relaxation. With its exquisite blend of modern comforts and oceanfront charm, this resort offers an unforgettable escape for travelers seeking both tranquility and adventure.

Accommodations

King Bed Intracoastal View

The hotel provides several room and suite options to cater to various preferences, all very clean and featuring modern design and clean lines, decorated in light wood and earth tones with blue accents. Room views include oceanfront for unencumbered views of the Atlantic and then scale back to include ocean view, partial ocean view, and Intracoastal Waterway. Within each view category is a subset of room configurations, ranging from standard rooms with 2 queens or 1 king bed to spacious suites.  The opulent presidential and penthouse suites feature large living areas and extra amenities, however, despite their large size both feature only a king bed and pull-out to accommodate a total of 4 adults.  Balconies provide an excellent place to enjoy these stellar views.

On-Site Dining

Dining at the resort is a gastronomic delight, with a variety of on-site restaurants. From the upscale elegance of Diplomat Prime, specializing in prime cuts of steak and fine wines, to the vibrant flavors of Monkitail, offering modern Japanese cuisine and a lively lounge atmosphere, there is a variety of culinary options. However, none of them are moderately priced.
