My husband and I just returned from a 12 night stay over the holidays at Manhattan Tower. This was our second Christmas spent at this amazing apartment hotel. If you are looking for a different type of accommodation with a vintage feel that is cozy and comfortable where you can sit and watch all kinds of boats and yachts go by from your private balcony or from the many seating areas along the Intercoastal Waterway, book a unit at Manhattan Tower. Our family rented four different units and each one was lovely. They are not your cookie cutter rooms like you see in most hotels...each one is decorated differently with lots of eclectic touches, interesting furniture pieces, light fixtures and art. So much fun! We all did quite a bit of cooking for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day cocktail hours and meals together and the kitchens are very well equipped to whip up just about anything you can think of. There were seven of us and there was plenty of room in each place for all of us to comfortably hang out, eat, drink, and celebrate the holidays. The owners live on site and are so nice and accommodating and thoughtful and always available if anything comes up or to answer any questions. The small staff is also very friendly and helpful. Checking in is a breeze and to get to your room, you walk through a beautiful courtyard with lots of lush vegetation and a huge heated pool. We checked in on December 23rd and everything was decorated for Christmas with garlands and lights and wreaths...very festive! The waterfront side looked so ready for Christmas with so many lights and our unit, #108, looked like a Christmas disco inside at night...which I loved! The best part about Manhattan Tower is that it is pet friendly and we are able to bring our little dog with us. The location is perfect...a quiet neighborhood setting but only a couple of blocks, easily walkable, from the beautiful Fort Lauderdale beach and a few minutes drive to the Galleria Mall, multiple grocery stores and restaurants. Thank you to everyone at Manhattan Tower for making our Christmas Holiday stay so perfect. We will be back in 2023 for round three!

Our neighbors booked a couple of weeks here and we decided to join them for a few nights. It honestly feels more like an airbnb. Owners are on property and there are some snowbirds who stay for months. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. We were running late to check in and the front desk clerk Kate just gave our neighbor the key to our unit, saying she'd check us in formally the next day. It's nice to know there's still trust of strangers in this world. This place has the feel of an art deco hotel from the 50's....well...because it is. Has cool eclectic vibes. We had a studio. It was well equipped for what we needed. While they don't have an actual guest laundry on site, they do allow use of the property's facility, which was nice. Best of all it's on the canal and it's peaceful to watch the boats go by. The water taxi even stops there if you flag it down. Recommend getting a room facing the canal, so you have a private balcony to enjoy. Nice adult getaway place. Only giving 4 starts because it's a bit pricey. It's market price for the area but this is an older property and I feel it's difficult to justify the same price as a high-rise newer unit.

Was at a business conference and the Manhattan offered a more affordable alternative. Room was great for the price, but their best attribute was the staff and owner. Everyone very friendly and helpful like staying in a good B&B.

Friendly and nice place. Owners were lovely as were all the staff. Really enjoyed my short stay overlooking the inter coastal. Room was clean and had all good amenities in the kitchen. The restaurant onsite was great and so convenient. Heated pool too :) I’ll be back. Thank you!

The owner and employees went above beyond to meet our needs. They made our stay very comfortable and pleasant. The dinner with a canalfront view watching boats and yachts going by is relaxing. It is located conveniently close to everything, yet a littleaway from noise and business of the beachside. Thank you very much for our wonderful stay!

View Great... Beds Not so much!

The view was amazing from our apartment/hotel room. The Staff was fantasic and very friendly. The room was just okay, the decor was pieced together, the beds were not comfortable at all, it states new Tempur-Pedic beds but that is not the case. One room had 2 twins which was told it was 2 king rooms, so we had to push the beds together leaving someone in the crack most the time. The room also did not have curtains that went to the floor they were about 2 foot short, which made the room very bright all night long with the outside lights. The view of the water was great, however they have to put up nets on the balcony to keep anyone from falling which makes your view hard to see if you are sitting in the chair.

Danielle and I, professional wedding photographers, were commissioned to photograph a wedding at nearby Bonnet House. We live on Florida's West Coast, and did a search of hotels near Bonnet House. When I came across Manhattan Tower, I was instantly drawn toward the mid-century styling, and after having read the history of this wonderful place, we decided to give it try. We had a two-night stay, and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. David was extremely responsive and helpful during my pre-arrangements, as well as once we were on the property. Our time there was even more pleasurable because of the on-property restaurant. Very good food, very good presentation of the food, and very reasonable pricing. Our dining experience for our dinners and breakfasts were outside, on the Intercoastal Waterway... very serene atmosphere. We're already planning to return in a few weeks for a pleasure trip. And, we've already begun sharing our experiences with our family and friends who visit Fort Lauderdale from time to time... Very highly recommend Manhattan Tower!

I hate to write a review because the more people hear about this place the harder it will be for me to book when I want! Lol. Seriously this place is a one of a kind unique property. The view right on the channel is so nice off of the big back patio. A glass of wine and the sound of the fountain while watching the boats go by is so relaxing. The decor is so fun and eclectic. Lots of thought went into the artwork throughout the property and in every room. The pool is always clean and welcoming. The history behind this property is interesting as well going back to the 50’s. And some of the craftsmanship hasn’t changed since then. The bathroom tile work from the 50’s in the unit I stayed in was so cool. I love it! Now they’ve added a restaurant/bistro on the property. That’s nice for a glass of wine when you need one or even a steak! The owners live on the property so the care for the grounds is noticeable.

What a great find ... small eclectic hotel/apartment on the ICW. Had a room with a balcony facing the ICW where we could relax enjoy a glass of wine and watch the boats go bye ... lovely and peaceful. Only stayed for two nights but wished it could have been more, more, more etc. Room was perfectly appointed with a funky cool vibe - both furniture and art were unique and appreciated. Hosts/owners were there for whatever was needed. They even have a small restaurant (limited menu) on site that can take care of those quick cravings - sandwiches/salads/breakfast items etc.. Staff at NIBBLES was great, very accommodating. Location is great and close to everything. Another plus is that they offer free parking (unusual for the area). If you go try and get a room with an ICW view, if not your available your stay will still be great no matter.... enjoy!!
