Tryp by Wyndham has opened its newest hotel in Fort Lauderdale, the Tryp by Wyndham Maritime Fort Lauderdale, anchoring the city’s four-star Marina Bay, a premier luxury yacht marina.

Celebrating the spirit of the urban traveller, Tryp by Wyndham hotels make it possible for guests to uncover a destination’s authentic, local culture.

Fort Lauderdale, a flourishing travel destination with an ever-growing airport, cruise port and convention centre, inspired the hotel’s nautical design incorporating nods to the local marine life and sailing culture.

The hotel also features original artwork of South Florida’s underwater splendour by noted marine ecologist and photographer Richard Murphy.

“Symbolised by the picturesque surrounding marina, Fort Lauderdale is a city famous for beautiful beaches, boating canals and upscale dining and boutiques,” said Kate Ashton, senior vice president, Tryp by Wyndham.

“Offering a true glimpse into that seafaring style, Tryp by Wyndham Maritime Fort Lauderdale personifies the destination through nautical design, marina-centred amenities and local sea-inspired fare.”

The 150-room, new construction hotel is situated on 25 acres with easy access to boat charters, slip rentals and a cabana-lined pool and outdoor deck.

Guests can enjoy relaxing at the Zen Tea garden and koi pond and nibbling on small plates at the hotel’s European-style tapas bar - a trademark of the Tryp brand - featuring 11 aquariums housing local marine life.

Tryp by Wyndham Maritime Fort Lauderdale is the seventh US location for the brand and the third location in Florida, joining recently opened locations in Miami’s Bay Harbour and St. Augustine.

Florida continues to be a hot destination for the Mediterranean-born brand, with multiple locations in the pipeline including Coral Gables, Orlando, Kissimmee and an additional Miami location.
