Pier Sixty-Six reopened on Jan. 10, after being shuttered for redevelopment since 2017. The property, now with 325 rooms, has been a pillar of Fort Lauderdale tourism since it opened in 1965. The good news for fans of the old resort is that the iconic midcentury modern tower with its space-age, hat-like roof has been restored. But the rest of the 32-acre resort might be unrecognizable to many past guests. I toured the hotel recently with Brett Boreing, executive director of sales and marketing.
