The Flamingo – Inn Amongst the Flowers, is proud of its reputation as one of the leading luxury gay hotels and is often referred to as Florida’s first Boutique Hotel serving the gay community.

It has been over two years now that the current owners, Chip and Ray, purchased The Flamingo. The previous owner, formerly on the Board of Directors at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, completed extensive renovations of the property, truly making The Flamingo a five star resort.  Chip and Ray, partners for 26 years, purchased The Flamingo to fulfill a life-long dream, and work hard to maintain and even exceed the high standards that the hotel has come to be known for. Subtle changes include the addition of Aveda spa products and new luxury linens.  Chip and Ray are on property most evenings to welcome both new and returning guests.   In addition to award winning decor, the personalized service that you will receive at The Flamingo is second to none.

Entering through the large iron gate, the delicately manicured gardens, lush tropical palms and flowers, soothing fountains, comfortable lounge areas and sparkling heated pool will whisk your troubles away. Whether you are visiting to relax and escape life's pressures, or to enjoy Fort Lauderdale's exciting gay nightlife, or even a little of both, The Flamingo is an ideal oasis...a place to call home for the discriminating gay traveler while visiting South Florida.

The courtyard is so private that many new guests comment "I had no idea this was in here". Large white market umbrellas, and a flowing white tent adorn the courtyard and provide comfortable shade. Of course, our signature yellow lounge chairs are in abundance for those interested in working on a tan.

From the moment you arrive until the time you depart, the goal is to make the days you spend at The Flamingo as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Focusing on detail and comfort, modern bathrooms have been added.  All the spacious rooms and suites have been completely renovated and redecorated with the cool and airy influence of the British West Indies. Four-poster beds and white on white cool bedding and duvets are part of the unique bedrooms, junior suites, and suites. Most rooms have new French doors opening onto the central courtyard.  

At The Flamingo, beds are turned down at night, continental breakfast is served each morning, and the office extends full concierge service to make your dinner reservations, gym requests, tour bookings, car rentals, etc...all to make your stay a memorable, restful and romantic visit. Whether you have stayed in the past or will be a first-time visitor, our goal is to ensure that your stay is everything that you could expect it to be.
