The Grand has been around for over 20 years and it has become a mainstay of the FT Lauderdale gay scene. With more than 30 rooms and suites and a full service spa it offers exceptional luxury value and a memorable experience with each visit.
Albrecht is very proud of what the Grand stand for: "What makes us truly unique is our unwavering commitment to creating more than just a place to stay: we're building a place to belong. The Grand stands apart for its thoughtful blend of elevated hospitality, locally inspired experiences and a deep-rooted focus on wellness and connection. By continuously listening to our guests we are not only enhancing amenities and services but also fostering a culture that feels warm, inclusive and truly grounded in the spirit of our community. Winning this award is an incredible honor. It means the world to us because it comes directly from the voices that matter most: our guests and our community. It is also a reflection of the care, passion and dedication our entire team pours into every experience we create. It affirms The Grand is not just a place, but a feeling of comfort, connection and excellency, thank you.”
