Embassy Suites Hotel - Fort Lauderdale 's 56-foot Christmas Tree a Sight to Behold
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL. December 16, 2009 - The Embassy Suites Hotel - Fort Lauderdale is celebrating the holiday season with a stunning masterwork. The hotel has suspended a 56-foot Christmas tree that is adorned with festive ribbons and lights from the top of its 12-story atrium. The tree is believed to be the largest indoor Christmas tree in Fort Lauderdale and is a picturesque backdrop for a Christmas Eve or Christmas Day lunch or dinner in the hotel's new restaurant, the E Spot.
According to Don Friedman, the hotel's general manager, “We decided to re-start our tradition of putting up a tree in the atrium for our guests and residents alike to enjoy. The tree is beautifully lit and invokes a holiday spirit in all who see it. In addition, because of its prominence in our atrium, you can see the tree from virtually anywhere in the hotel. We invite the public to visit us this holiday season and personally experience why we believe our hotel is 'the little oasis in Fort Lauderdale,'" he added.
In 2008, the property completed a multi-million dollar renovation that included renovating its spacious two-room suites and public areas. The Embassy Suites Hotel - Fort Lauderdale also features its restaurant and bar, the E Spot, and more than 12,000 square feet of flexible meeting space. Located at 1100 S.E. 17th Street on the 17th Street Causeway, the hotel is conveniently located near the Fort Lauderdale cruise port.
