NexGen Hotels, a hotel development and management company based in Itasca, IL, has purchased The Maritime Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruiseport.
The boutique hotel will undergo a renovation and rebrand to the Moor Hotel at Marina Bay, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, which is expected to be completed by Q3 of 2025.
The property is located in the 25-acre Marina Bay Resort, close to Hollywood-Fort Lauderdale International Airport and the Port Everglades Cruise Terminals. The 150-room property is also close to Sawgrass Mills Outlet Mall, Flamingo Gardens, Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, Museum of Discovery & Science, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Hard Rock Stadium, Everglades Holiday Park and Fort Lauderdale beaches.
“NexGen Hotels is always striving to bring top-tier properties into our portfolio, and with this acquisition and conversion, it’s a testament to our focus on obtaining diversified brands for our investors,” said Chris Patel, president, NexGen Hotels. “The Moor Hotel at Marina Bay, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, represents a new standard for design and hospitality in the Fort Lauderdale area.”
