The Atlantic
 If you’re looking for a truly spectacular, beach-front resort to while away the summer doldrums, look no further than The Atlantic, a hot new resort set on a 23-mile stretch of white, sandy beach in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
Just minutes from the Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), this two-year-old, Mediterranean-styled resort offers 124 elegantly appointed rooms, including 58 suites and five penthouses, that are laid out in a 15-story, tiered design so that all of the rooms enjoy panoramic ocean or oceanfront views.
You can step from the hotel lobby onto the white south Florida sand and enjoy the sound of waves crashing on the shore as you forget the hectic pace of everyday life and begin to sooth your soul beneath the warm summer sun.
 This non-smoking resort is part of the Starwood Spa Collection of hotels, offering Spa Atlantic, where you can indulge in a number of massage therapies, including couples massages and body treatments which help promote relaxation, invigoration, and renewal.
Dining on the property is an indulgence that should not be missed. Trina Restaurant, the signature dining experience at The Atlantic, is run by two of New York’s hottest restaurateurs. Chef Don Pintabona, longtime executive chef at Tribeca Grill, and Nic Mautone, former managing partner of Gramercy Tavern, have combined forces to create one of the hottest dining experiences on the Florida beach. Specialties of the house include Mediterranean-inspired seafood dishes, and you can order menu items both at the outdoor pool and from room service.
If relaxing in the spa or whiling away a few hours on the beach is too slow a pace for you, there’s plenty to keep you busy at The Atlantic. The resort is just minutes from the famed Las Olas Boulevard, where dining, great shopping and numerous eclectic art galleries and museums come together to provide one of the most diverse stretches of real estate in southern Florida.

For an ideal summer getaway that’s both regal and modern at the same time, there’s no better place than The Atlantic. And that’s why we’ve selected it as this month’s east coast resort spotlight.
