Sheraton Yankee Clipper Beach Resort
Information & Amenities
Hotel Information: A landmark in Fort Lauderdale since 1956, the Yankee Clipper is the closest beach hotel to Port Everglades and thus attracts cruise-ship passengers seeking a pre- or post-cruise stay on the beach, as well as families and couples. Fort Lauderdale's principal yacht harbor lies west of the hotel on the Intracoastal Waterway, providing stroll-and-awe thrills for guests without yachts of their own.
Amenity highlights: Two pools provide alternatives to the beach. The main pool lies in a courtyard flanked by palm trees. Underwater swimmers look through windows into the hotel's famed Wreck Bar and vice versa. The beach pool is surrounded by a stone sundeck, which is fronted by a second, wood sundeck. From the wood deck, guests step directly onto an exceptionally deep beach that runs 11 miles along the barrier island on which the hotel lies.
Insider tip: A public water bus transports passengers around Fort Lauderdale's inland waterways from mid-morning to after midnight, stopping at 20 locations such as restaurants and shopping centers. The closest stop to the hotel is only 150 yards from the hotel. The water bus runs on a schedule, which is available at the concierge desk. Ticket options include a bargain-price all-day fare.
Property Amenities
On an 11-mile beach, this Florida hotel is adjacent to the Bahia Mar Yacht Center and six miles from the airport. After-dark action is a quarter-mile away from the hotel, along a row of oceanfront cafes.
Made famous in the 1960s movie, Where the Boys Are, the Wreck Bar is designed like an underwater shipwreck. A window allows bar patrons to view swimmers in the main pool. Clipper Steakhouse is also on site, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Recreational opportunities include two swimming pools, a sports deck, and the adjacent beach. A business center offers high-speed Internet access (surcharge). Additional amenities include complimentary fitness equipment, guest laundry facilities, and meeting/banquet facilities.
