Boutique Hotels in Fort Lauderdale: Why The Tel Feels Different

All-suite, condo-style rooms with full kitchens and personal service, minutes from Las Olas.

What Makes This Feel Like Home

Why The Tel Feels Different

At The Tel, boutique isn't just a label, it's how we operate: small, independently run, and designed to feel personal from the moment you walk in. That's what makes us different, and it's who we are.

For us, boutique means fewer rooms and more attention, a space that feels like a well-designed home rather than a hotel corridor. Every suite at The Tel has light, modern interiors and upscale furnishings, closer to a private condo than a standard room, so you can settle in and actually live for a few days.

We're especially family friendly at this location, thanks to our all-suite layout, full kitchens, and room to actually spread out. It's an easy, welcoming check-in and a small team who's genuinely glad you're here, built around the guests actually staying with us.

Our Fort Lauderdale Location

In the Heart of the City

The Tel Fort Lauderdale sits in the heart of the city, under two miles from the beach and close to Las Olas Boulevard's restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. You're about twenty minutes from Fort Lauderdale airport and the cruise port, so it works well whether you're here for a weekend or catching a cruise.

We offer two suite types, both built for longer stays and real living space, not just a bed and a TV.

One Bedroom Suite

A private bedroom with a separate living area, a full kitchen, a private back patio, and multiple HD TVs. Enough room to actually settle in.

Two Bedroom Suite

Two private bedrooms, a full kitchen, a living room, multiple HD TVs, and a private back patio. Built for families or groups who want their own space without splitting into separate rooms.

“Full kitchen. Private patio. Room to actually live.”
