The Bar/Lounge at The Atlantic Hotel & Spa

"There’s a fetching, 10,000-square-foot-spa; the Ocean Market Grille, which serves up a farm fresh nouvel-eclectic menu (it has a local foodie following); and a fifth-floor terrace with a heated pool and bar overlooking the ocean—very nice indeed"

"Dining includes East End Brasserie, serving casual Parisian bistro fare, and Ocean Terrace Bar & Cafe, offering light dishes and ocean views"

"For example, the nearby W Fort Lauderdale is a stylish choice with two pools, a Bliss spa, a steakhouse, and popular bars and lounges, but it's more expensive"

"On-premises amenities include a revamped European-style spa, a tony lobby-level lounge and restaurant, and a fifth-floor Ocean Terrace, with a sleek infinity pool overlooking the Atlantic"

"The adjacent bar is a bright spot that attracts locals, owners and guests"
