The nation’s first full-service gay resort opened its doors April 11 in Fort Lauderdale, and so far, bookings are better than expected at the Royal Palms Resort & Spa, thanks to Facebook offers, said hotelier Richard Gray.
The sleek, white-marbled ambiance of The Royal Palms' brand new boutique hotel doesn't just make for the perfect place to stay on your South Florida vacation. It's also the brilliant backdrop for superb dining and Ft Lauderdale's hottest new gay bar.
Everyone who passes through the portals of The Royal Palms Resort – or crosses the sleek marble threshold into the brand-new boutique hotel – is struck by a perfect-pitch service. It's an enveloping aura of personal care and attention to detail – harmonious as a Japanese tea ceremony yet unobtrusive.
Fort Lauderdale has long been number-one among gay travelers for its casual, laid-back, inclusive vibe -- and its hot all-male resorts and gay guesthouses, where the excitement builds behind closed doors. As the gay Ft Lauderdale scene evolves, the famous beach city is developing a new set of urban amenities and drawing a younger crowd of sophisticated and trendy travelers.
