Its downtown location places you at the crossroads of commerce, culture, and waterway life: the Riverwalk's scenic paths trace the New River and invite movement in every direction, Las Olas Boulevard's boutiques and cafés offer a distinctly local flavor, and nearby galleries, theaters, and cultural venues reveal Fort Lauderdale's creative pulse.
