Famed Pier Top at Pier Sixty-Six Slated to Reopen as Fort Lauderdale’s Premier Social Epicenter
Pier Sixty-Six, South Florida’s iconic luxury resort, and CoralTree Hospitality, one of the nation’s fastest-growing management companies, proudly announce the grand reopening of Pier Top, the city’s legendary 17th-floor rotating lounge in late 2024. As the crown jewel of Tavistock Development Company’s $1 billion redevelopment, Pier Top is set to reclaim its status as the pinnacle of South Florida’s social scene. Upon reopening, the renowned destination will offer guests an immersive experience revealing an ever-changing panorama of breathtaking vistas over the city’s largest superyacht marina, skyline and the Atlantic Ocean.
Originally opened in 1965, Pier Top has been meticulously restored within the original hotel tower to preserve its iconic Googie futuristic façade, while revitalizing the interior with a sleek, modern design that ushers in a new era. Officially designated as a historic landmark by the City of Fort Lauderdale in May 2024, this alluring spire-topped destination is more than just a gathering place—it’s poised to welcome guests once again, celebrating culinary excellence with renewed excitement and flair.
Pier Top, where opulence meets creativity, will be led by Jorge Loya, Director of Beverage, who have curated an extraordinary menu featuring avante garde mixology, including a delicate blend of art and science to innovate the cocktail experience and tantalize the senses. As guests sip on unique concoctions, they will enjoy a selection of premium oysters and exquisite caviar, perfectly paired with elevated bites and immersive tableside presentations that redefine the art of Fort Lauderdale lounge dining.
Designed by the distinguished Jeffrey Beers International, the new interiors of the lavish lounge embody a warm and modern aesthetic that invites guests to unwind in style. The luxurious color palette showcases rich hues of wine red and dusty rose, harmoniously complemented by the deep allure of peacock green. Accents of pearl white and midnight black provide a striking contrast, while touches of gold add a sophisticated elegance that enhance the overall atmosphere. This carefully curated design creates a visually stunning atmosphere that is both seductive and inviting, making Pier Top the ultimate setting for an unforgettable night of leisure and glamour. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to ensure that guests feel enveloped in a space that balances bold contemporary flair with timeless luxury and a respectful nod to its heritage.
“The reopening of Pier Top is a moment of immense pride for us, especially as we reintroduce the lounge once again with its quintessential rotating feature,” said Frank Serindat, Director of Food & Beverage at Pier Sixty-Six. “This iconic venue has been at the heart of countless memories for both locals and visitors over the years, and we’re honored to bring it back to life. Our goal is to preserve the timeless charm that so many hold dear while infusing new elements that ensure Pier Top remains a cherished place for generations to come. It’s more than just a reopening—it’s a celebration of tradition, community, and the spirit of Fort Lauderdale.”
