A guitar as a hotel.
The legendary guitar hotel tower under construction at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Florida, opening in fall 2019, will soon become one of the most recognizable hotel landmarks. The Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood complex is getting another 638 luxurious guest rooms and suites. - And all in a building shaped like a guitar. Guests will find elegant, modern spaces for the perfect stay, as well as unforgettable amenities for all interests. The hotel offers 24-hour room service and a professional concierge service that leaves nothing to be desired.
The technical masterpiece was designed to feature elements of a guitar and brightly lit strings, as well as ceiling-high glass panes. The architectural marvel, which was planned by architect Klai Juba Wald from Las Vegas and realized together with the Hard Rock Hotel Company, is unique in the world. In total, the project is worth around 1.5 billion US dollars. Jim Allen, Chairman of Hard Rock International and CEO of Seminole Gaming, revealed details of the new "guitar hotel" at a press event at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York: "The Hard Rock brand is stronger today than ever before," explained Allen, adding that the brand represents "more than food, drink and a place to stay."
The generously designed property has a daytime swimming pool which, according to CEO Jim Allen, "can hold its own with any pool party in Vegas". For families and nature lovers, the landscaped lake with paddle boats and a so-called "lazy river" invites you to linger. The hotel extension means a special experience for everyone: comedy theater, 3,000 slot machines and 228 gaming tables. In addition, spacious villas with personal butler service offer guests the ultimate in luxury. For all guests who like to be pampered, the "Rock Spa" is just the thing. In addition to numerous sauna and steam bath opportunities, the "Rock Spa" also offers individual treatments such as massages. Men can look forward to a barber store and ladies to a full-service beauty salon.
But not only party and relax is announced in the guitar hotel. For culinary lovers there are various restaurants with a rich offer:
Council Oak Steaks & Seafood
As the name suggests, this restaurant serves the finest Dry Aged Beef varieties and fresh seafood. A large selection of open wines rounds off the culinary variety on offer. After your meal you can end the evening in a separate lounge with live music.

Kuro stands for luxurious, refined Japanese cuisine. The restaurant is located right inside the Guitar Hotel. The concept of this restaurant is to combine authentic Japanese specialties with local products. To accompany your meal, the bartender recommends a cocktail perfectly matched to Japanese cuisine.

I highly recommend Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), it is only 6.8 miles from the resort, making for a short 15 minute drive to the resort. Miami International Airport (MIA) is a 45 minute drive away at approximately 26 miles.
