Fort Lauderdale, FL – February 9, 2023 – More than 250 guests celebrated the grand opening of Fort Lauderdale’s newest hospitality trifecta during the Kimpton Shorebreak Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort block party. The moving event allowed guests to travel through the property, from the botanical courtyard, buzzing pool bar and chef-driven Italian restaurant, La Fuga, to the hotel’s scenic rooftop overlooking the Yachting Capital of the World. Partygoers immersed in Kimpton Shorebreak’s vibrant tropical atmosphere as an acoustic musician and flamenco greeters welcomed them to an evening filled with an eclectic mix of live entertainment. Local painter and muralist Colette Pisut wowed guests with a live painting session in the hotel’s courtyard, while La Fuga and its decorated local chef Michael Mayer curated a delicious menu of passed bites and food stations. Guests sipped on house-infused limoncello as they made their way to the rooftop, where they enjoyed live beats by DJ Yissel while taking in majestic sunset views and a show stopping acrobatic performance in the pool. At the end of the night, each guest took home a custom gift created by Colette.
