Area: Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood Intl Airport - Fort Lauderdale Area
Re-discover the essence of simple pleasures in a unique setting of lush Florida-native gardens and azure seas. Built in 1953, our caringly restored and well-maintained inn features one-bedroom apartments all upgraded to meet the most discerning traveler's needs.
You may also choose to indulge yourself with romantic dinners under our Polynesian-inspired gazebos, or simply relax under a swaying palm tree. It's all here, waiting for you. The DeSoto is conveniently located to South Beach, Fort Lauderdale and all major Florida attractions. From world-class shopping, major sporting events, casinos, international cultural activities, fine-dining, dancing and nightlife, we're near it all.
For the eco-tourist, The DeSoto is nestled on a barrier island in the middle of the South's largest mangrove preserve. Neighboring Anne Kolb Nature Center provides a glimpse into Florida's eco-system, offering kayaking, boat tours and hiking for free or at very nominal prices. The Everglade is only minutes away, where you can see the endangered Florida panther and alligators sunning along your path to this spectacular destination.
It's easy to see our location offers something for everyone, but most importantly, the quiet charm and warm DeSoto hospitality completes a holiday to remember in the warm sub-tropical climate of South Florida.
