Aloft Hotel Becomes Fort Lauderdale’s Newest Addition

Verdex served as the General Contractor to build the hotel. 

The newly completed 14-story Aloft Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, designed by Adache Group Architects, has officially opened. The hotel’s modern architectural design perfectly embodies the brand’s standards, making it an exciting addition to the city’s skyline. With its sleek and sophisticated exterior, the Aloft Hotel is sure to catch the eye of any passerby. 

“We are excited to complete construction on Aloft Hotel in Fort Lauderdale,” Daniel Adache says, CEO of Adache Group Architects. “Business is booming in the City of Fort Lauderdale, individuals come from around the world to experience the beaches, culture, and food, this property will be an appealing hotel for business and leisure travel visitors coming to South Florida.”

The hotel, situated at 501 S.E. 24th St., covers an area of 100,000 square feet and boasts a stylish and modern design. It has a surface-level parking lot adjacent to it, containing 99 spaces for valet service. The Prodema wood panels on the porte cochere entrance give a natural feel to the ground floor. The hotel’s second floor houses a 5,000-square-foot lobby, which features indoor seating, a bar, and the Re:fuel by Aloft grab-and-go breakfast concept. Furthermore, an outdoor terrace provides guests with a warm and inviting space.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
