STAY LOCAL Artistic Amenities

There are staycations, and then there are staycations that take amenities to the next level. If you’re looking for a fun spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy Fort Lauderdale fun, in addition to some cool extras, W Fort Lauderdale might be the pick for you. The luxury boutique hotel has welcomed a handful of new amenities; the most memorable is Pop-Art. When you choose this experience, South Florida artist Hector Prado will create a custom graffiti-esque portrait of you right on your suite’s balcony. You get to pre-pick the background color and then, during your stay, Prado puts the finishing touches on your 18-by-24-inch canvas in real- time. Talk about an exclusive experience!

For those wanting a little more fun, the W also allows guests to curate a personalized concert on their balcony with options ranging from a violinist to a DJ, keyboardist, acoustic guitarist, and more for the ultimate private show. Now you can do it all: order room service, pop some bubbly, and let loose in the comfort of your own suite. Turn the page to learn about more local stays and deals. (wpopartamenity.com)
