Like I've said a few times...this is a nice property.  The pool is really done VERY well.  Many of the hotels around Ft. Lauderdale should take note of the layout.  Not everyone wants to swim in the ocean their whole trip.

Lets get to the pictures now.  I will post pictures of the pool under my next entry (Seminole Hard Rock #3) so be sure to check back later today.  The pictures might make it look like it wasn't that busy...but we were there early for a Saturday (11:30 AM) and I tried to time my pictures to not catch anyone in frame. 

Lets start off with the 2 pictures I didn't take.  This is a photo from the Hotel's website.  The top photo is a long aerial view of the hotel and the one below shows the inside of one of the guest rooms:







(Now all of these pictures were taken by me.)
Here is the entrance to the European Spa in the hotel.  It's located right by the Blue Plate Restaurant:




Here is a picture of the meeting room area.  Perfect for business or pleasure:




Now we have a picture of the Blue Plate Casual Restaurant:




Next to the Blue Plate is Constant Grind.  It's the 'Starbuck's type' coffee stand:




Here is the side view of the Hard Rock Café by the front desk.  You can dine on a patio that is overlooking the lobby.  I didn't get inside...you've seen one HRC, you've seen them all:
