It provides 20,000 square feet of oceanfront, elevated function space, along with 10,000 square feet of indoor space for events. The Conrad Fort Lauderdale is also set to include four food and beverage outlets: Terra Mare, a tapas restaurant; Cornucopia, a gourmet marketplace serving artisanal cuisine including flatbreads and pastries; a lobby bar; and a pool bar.

Groups now can meet above the luxury and exotic car showroom of Lou La Vie, which opened in February. Known as the Clubhouse, the second floor holds as many as 200 standing. Some events can be held on the lower level, which also holds 200, but when the Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Rolls Royces, Bentleys, and the like are on display, extra security is required. Housed in a roughly 40-year-old space meant to serve as a vehicle warehouse, the property has an industrial design with modern touches. Later this year, the 3,000-square-foot rooftop will become available for events. It sits adjacent to a pair of soccer fields that also will be marketed as function space.
