Starmark Develops New Website for Fort Lauderdale-based Riverside Hotel

The Riverside Hotel

Starmark International has designed and unveiled a new website for The Riverside Hotel – an historic, landmark hotel in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

The only hotel to grace Las Olas Boulevard, the Riverside Hotel boasts two bars and two distinctive restaurants, including the AAA Four Diamond-rated The Grill Room on Las Olas. Other hotel features include tropically appointed, elegant guest rooms with picturesque views of the Intracoastal Waterway, the New River and the luminous downtown skyline.

Starmark International brings these assets to life at www.RiversideHotel.com, which seeks to showcase the property’s long standing Florida charm with a touch of modern elegance. Aesthetically, this is evidenced by the site’s mahogany- and brass-colored accents along with a palm tree embossed border.

A user-friendly navigation bar highlights several important business elements of the hotel, including Accommodations, Dining, Meetings, Weddings & Events, Promotions and Amenities. Interesting functionalities include a Plan Your Itinerary page that offers three sample itineraries for families, couples and girlfriend getaways. Local attractions in South Florida are featured as well as a link to the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, which offers even more activities and events for visitors during their stay.

Of particular importance to the travel trade, riversidehotel.com provides event planners with flash-enabled slide shows, access to conference areas, A/V capabilities and extensive catering menus. Meeting planners can submit RFP requests, manage and plan their next meeting via online tools. Since launching the site on October 1, 2009, The Riverside Hotel has already received dozens of RFPs for group meetings and events. Additionally, a Brides Resources page offers brides-to-be a recommended list of trusted vendors along Las Olas Boulevard for wedding enhancements.

The Riverside Hotel rises 12 stories above Fort Lauderdale’s New River amidst a bustling skyline. The hotel features 204 guest rooms and 9 suites. Amenities include a full-service concierge desk, high- speed Internet access, desk with Internet and DC plugs, and dataport capabilities in guest rooms. Guests of the Riverside Hotel enjoy two award-winning restaurants and lounges, Indigo and the Grill Room on Las Olas, tropical outdoor pool and more.
