Welcome to your new South Floridian oasis – the stunning one-of-a-kind Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. The property, which boasts three luxe hotel towers – including one located inside the monumental 450-foot guitar – is a truly breathtaking experience to behold.
Inside of the casino, you’ll notice a large poker room, shops, spa, bars and nightclubs. The property, simply in itself, is an architectural masterpiece soaring almost 500 feet into the sky. With 2,700 slot machines currently, and more to come, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood offers something truly special for the whole family. Its beautiful, tropical lagoon-style atmosphere set between waterfalls and swaying palms offer a genuine beach-style experience constructed with locally obtained Floridian sand, set with inviting beach lounge chairs, and a substantial water expanse, sizable to about three football fields which provides water sports such as canoeing, paddle-boarding, and more.
While walking down a seemingly endless 26,000 square foot promenade of boutique storefronts that are appealingly unique and elegantly positioned along a marble-floored path extending from the Lucky Street Garage, the retail possibilities here are truly endless. The Guitar Hotel Light Show is a daily extravaganza that consists of a series of synchronized outside music and lights which emphasize the vibrant LED lights that are embedded into every inch of the brand-new, spotless Guitar Hotel, leaving guests feeling like they are at the top of the world. The lights have been arranged to change color and intensity in accordance with various music. Six dazzling beams are projected at least 20,000 feet into the sky to truly enhance the performance. The lights resemble the strings of an imaginary guitar being played and the best views can be seen from the top of the Lucky Street Parking Garage, which also overlooks the huge pool and cabanas that are available 7 days a week.
Located just 20 miles to the north of Miami Beach, it’s clear why visitors worldwide are attracted to the neon-lit, 36-story guitar-shaped Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood that dominates the skyline. That’s only the beginning of what awaits them inside the entertainment complex, where rock ‘n’ roll, pop culture, and fine art converge to enhance the experience as a whole.
Originally opened in 2004, a remodeling began in the fall of 2017, and in the fall of 2019, this world-famous destination for entertainment, gambling, and hospitality officially re-launched its $1.5 billion expansion. An ultra-luxury spa and fitness center that covers 42,000 square feet, a state-of-the-art casino with 195,000 square feet of gaming space, a state-of-the-art Hard Rock Live performance venue with seating for up to 7,000 people, more than two dozen cutting-edge dining, lounge, and entertainment options, and more than 150,000 square feet of meeting space were all wonderful additions. The remodeling took 4 years, and on the opening night, Johnny Depp, Khloe Kardashian, and Bella Thorne, to name a few, were on the scene for the spectacular grand opening, which included a light show, guitar smash, and red carpet, reminiscent of the original Hollywood in California. Pop rock band Maroon 5 was the musical headliner, but the live music show was far from the only big event on tap for the well-anticipated opening.
The resort’s rooms and suites are decorated in a contemporary, rock-and-roll style, and feature all the amenities that guests would expect from a top-notch hotel. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable and offer astonishing views of the pool, the casino, or the stunning city views of Fort Lauderdale, and the best of it all is that in South Florida, visitors will be able to visit the Hard Rock and use its amenities anytime due to year-long sunshine and bliss.
The Hard Rock Hollywood is truly a fun and exciting destination that offers something for everyone. Whether you’re a music lover, a gaming enthusiast, or simply looking for a great place to stay and relax, this resort is a perfect choice. With its combination of luxe amenities, excellent entertainment, and great dining options, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood is sure to provide an unforgettable experience for all guests.
