Fort Lauderdale, FL — January 2026 — As Spring Break activity intensifies along Fort Lauderdale Beach, the iconic Riverside Hotel on Las Olas Boulevard invites travelers to discover a serene retreat just minutes from the shoreline. Blending timeless Old Florida charm with modern comfort, the Riverside Hotel offers guests a crowdfree haven rich with culture, waterfront beauty, and unforgettable experiences.

Located along the scenic New River, the hotel provides effortless access to many of Fort Lauderdale’s top attractions without the congestion of beachside tourism. Guests can explore the city aboard the Water Taxi, enjoy breezy rides with EZE Electric Bike Rentals, or step directly into history at the landmark Stranahan House Museum, located just next door.

Families and cultureseekers alike enjoy premier destinations within walking distance or a short ride away, including the Museum of Discovery & Science, the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale, and the vibrant Riverwalk district. For those seeking relaxation on the water, Carrie B Cruises offers narrated sightseeing tours departing steps from the hotel, while adventure lovers can experience authentic Florida wildlife encounters at Everglades Holiday Park, home of worldfamous airboat rides and gator shows.

Dining at the Riverside Hotel’s signature venues—including Wild Sea Las Olas, Boathouse at the Riverside, and the New River Café & Bakery—adds to the charm, offering guests exceptional flavors in a peaceful setting overlooking the city’s most picturesque waterway.

“Spring Break travelers deserve more than the crowded beach scene,” said Heiko Dobrikow, Executive Vice President and General Manager. “The Riverside Hotel gives guests an elevated Fort Lauderdale experience—one rooted in culture, comfort, and authentic hospitality.”

This Spring Break season, the Riverside Hotel invites visitors to discover the calm side of Fort Lauderdale.
