Raising the Bar
Rooftop @1WLO’s opening a couple months back was incredibly well received with critics and locals alike praising the service, atmosphere and design. The rooftop bar and lounge has literally raised the bar in Fort Lauderdale. Located at Las Olas Boulevard and Andrews Avenue, Rooftop is perched atop the 1 West Las Olas Building offering patrons views of the New River, the NSU Art Museum, Huizenga Park and Las Olas Boulevard. We’re proud to be a part of this project and even more so with Hospitality Design’s recent announcement.
Rooftop @1WLO has been chosen as a finalist at the HD Nightlife Awards, alongside Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge in the Moxy Hotel in Times Square, New York and Apogee in Chicago.
For this beautiful rooftop bar in Fort Lauderdale to be in the running against projects in New York’s Times Square and the Windy City of our roots is an honor. We look forward to seeing everyone in Las Vegas on March 26th. May the best bar win!
From HospitalityDesign.com:
