There’s a unique reason to linger over cocktails at Fort Lauderdale’s historic Pier Sixty-Six resort: The view is constantly changing, even if you never leave your seat.
Perched atop the resort’s iconic spire-crowned tower, the 17th-floor Pier Top lounge completes a full 360-degree rotation every 66 minutes, revealing sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, and glimmering Fort Lauderdale skyline.
Cool as it is, this rotating room is no feat of modern technology; it’s actually a throwback to the property’s glamorous past, when the revolving lounge became a local landmark in the 1960s. Now, following a $1 billion redevelopment, the legendary waterfront resort has entered a new era—but kept its most distinctive feature.
Spread across 32 acres, the reimagined Pier Sixty-Six features more than 325 accommodations, a 164-slip superyacht marina, and a 13,000-square-foot spa complete with a snow room (a first in the region). A wide range of dining options include waterfront Mediterranean restaurant Sotogrande and an intimate Sushi by Bou omakase experience.
But the biggest draw of the resort might still be the one that started it all: the rotating rooftop lounge. And you don’t need to book a room to experience Pier Top—just make a reservation, order a cocktail and let Fort Lauderdale come to you, one turn at a time.
