Vintro Hotel - Ft Lauderdale Beach

Story update: 5/21/13

The planned Vintro Hotel on Ft Lauderdale Beach suffered a setback as the City of Ft Lauderdale planning committee rejected the project.  The proposed hotel located on Alhambra Street, was slated for 15 stories but the project appeared unfavorable to the City as well as the Central Beach Alliance (group that represents the beach development). No word yets as if the developer plans to resubmit plans for a scaled down version but not sure the financials would be beneficial in doing so.





The development surge that has been stirring south florida residential real estate has now spilled over to commercial real estate. A Miami real estate firm has announced plans to build a boutique hotel on Ft Lauderdale Beach adjacent to a local favorite dining spot Casablanca Cafe.

Vintro Hotel
Fort Lauderdale Beach
Vintro Fort Lauderdale is a proposed boutique hotel located at 3029 Alhambra Street. Plans include 67 spacious rooms plus 3 suites. Since the hotel is located across from Fort Lauderdale beach, units are sure to have direct ocean as well as intracoastal views. Amenities are to include a rooftop pool, a top floor dining location, fitness center & a concierge. No word yet as if the developer has secured funding for the project but the building will surely bring a Miami architectural twist to Fort Lauderdale Beach.
