3 reviews for Pillars At New River Sound
Lovely small hotel near the beach and right on the waterway. We found it through the small luxury hotels guidebook (btw I would definitely recommend the Soniat house in new orleans which is also listed there). Pretty much, I would stay here for the waterfront restaurant alone that is only available to guests.
We arrived early and our room was not ready yet. But, all was well as we could change in one of the bathrooms with a shower so that we could still go to the beach. The front desk staff are all really nice, helpful, and will go out of their way to make sure your stay is hassle-free and pleasant.
I loved lingering by the pool with the complimentary iced-tea and lemon water.
But, really the enchantment is the restaurant. Definitely make a reservation here. The food isn't necessarily spectacular. It is good, but not incredibly creative. But, sitting on the water with only two other tables watching the sunset and the boats pass by, and as day turns to night, the tables are all lighted. It is truly magical.
And for breakfast, what could be better than lingering over the paper with a hot pot of coffee and piping hot croissants (the croissants are to die for!!! do not miss breakfast).
I would definitely come back to the Pillars next time I am in Fort Lauderdale.
Great place to have a wedding. The food is excellent, the view of the waterfront is nice and the service is great.
I'm guilty of writing a review from a stay that occurred quite some time ago, but it's one of the few hotels I reminisce over and hope that one day I will have the opportunity to return to.
This little gem is part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World chain, and I'm not really sure how I found it.
What I liked about it the most was it's location. I went there to celebrate an anniversary with my then fiance. We were able to walk to the beach and local restaurants. We were frequent visitors to Lulu's Bait Shack, which was a fun place.
The second thing I liked the most was the feeling of being relaxed. One night, after walking back from Lulu's, we went to the dock in our robes (it was a nice October evening), laid out on some chairs, and watched the water and took in the quiet. It was hard to imagine how close we were to busy Atlantic Blvd. because it was so peaceful there.
Our room was nicely appointed, the bed was super comfortable, and the furnishing were kinda West Indies-ish. Could the rooms have been bigger? Sure. Could the bathroom have been bigger? Sure. Bottom line was it seemed like I got the best of what I had, and more importantly, I enjoyed my stay.
In the morning, I would wake up and go down to the dock to read the paper while the other half slept. I was usually greeted by one of the waitstaff asking if I would like some coffee. If I did, I received it almost within 5 minutes. Service was good when we needed it, and in preparing for our visit, Jessica was very friendly and very professional.
We had a rental car and when we arrived on Friday evening, we were able to find a parking space right away and left the car there the entire time because we were able to get around on foot so much. There is a water taxi that also stops at the dock if you want to go to Las Olas, where alot of shops, restaurants and cafes are.
Like I said, it's been a while since I've been, but it's one of the few hotels that I would really like to go back to.
