The il Lugano hotel in Fort Lauderdale has become a Residence Inn by Marriott.
As the new Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal, the hotel will operate as a Marriott franchise, owned and managed by Claremont Cos., according to a Residence Inn statement released Monday.
In August, the 105-suite hotel at 3333 NE 32nd Ave. was sold to Claremont Ft. Lauderdale Suites LLC for $21.6 million.
Claremont Ft. Lauderdale is a subsidiary of Claremont Cos., based in Bridgewater, Mass.
The property, along the Intracoastal Waterway, was built in 2008 as a condo-hotel, and all suites have full-sized kitchens.
In the statement, Residence Inn Vice President and Global Brand Manager Diane Mayer said the company was pleased with the continued growth of its hotels in the Fort Lauderdale area.
In October, the new 156-suite Residence Inn by Marriott Fort Lauderdale Airport and Cruise Port in nearby Dania Beach opened doors to its first guests.
The Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal offers a complimentary breakfast bar, free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour food and beverage market and grocery delivery. Amenities also include a business library, 1,500 square feet of meeting space, outdoor swimming pool, exercise room and a full-service restaurant and lounge called Coastal View.
