Pier Sixty-Six

What Pier Sixty-Six does

Pier Sixty-Six is a luxury waterfront resort and integrated hospitality platform operating on a 32-acre site along the Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The property reopened on January 10, 2025 after a $1 billion redevelopment that expanded and repositioned its physical footprint. The core offering centers on 325 guest rooms and suites (ranging from 450 sq ft king rooms to a 3,000 sq ft Presidential Suite, plus resort residences), supported by 12 distinct dining venues, a 13,000 sq ft Zenova Spa & Wellness facility with a co-ed Via Aquae thermal circuit including the region's first authentic snow room, multilevel pools, a 164-slip superyacht marina accommodating vessels up to 400 feet, and more than 43,000 sq ft of indoor event space (with approximately 38,000 sq ft of outdoor event space). Notable experiential differentiators include the 17th-floor Pier Top revolving lounge (the only revolving rooftop bar in South Florida, completing one rotation every 66 minutes), floating pickleball courts in the marina, an IGFA School of Sportfishing program, the Pier Explorers Kids' Club, and the Lewis Collection sculpture program.

The business operates across multiple revenue streams: lodging, food and beverage, spa and wellness, marina slip rentals (with up to 40% off for hotel guests arriving by boat), corporate meetings and weddings, water activities (snorkeling, paddleboard/kayak rentals, private yacht charters), kids programming, and one-time residential real estate sales (62 condominiums and 31 resort residences, with a final penthouse listed at $16M). Go-to-market combines direct consumer booking through the website and phone, OTA distribution via SynXis, OpenTable for restaurant reservations, and Resort Pass for day-use pool access, alongside a dedicated group sales team for corporate meetings and events. An explicit no-resort-fee policy and multiple package programs (Florida Resident, Beyond by CoralTree, family, spa, and iconic-stay packages) anchor the pricing posture. The property is operated by CoralTree Hospitality under the Pier Sixty-Six brand, with the iconic 17-story tower — originally opened in 1965 — serving as the visual and experiential anchor of the resort.
