The hotel is in a crowded part part of town. Lots of traffic. There is another hotel shaped like a cruise ship by Marriott Beach Place on Ft Lauderdale/Beach Blvd.

The 487-room Yankee Clipper Hotel was built in 1956 to resemble a huge cruise ship. It recently underwent a a major renovation both inside and out, and looks ship shape! Inside is the famous Wreck Bar, where patrons can look out underwater portals and watch a "live" mermaid perform every Friday and Saturday night. The building is a true head-turner and a welcome architectural oasis in a jungle of ugly cement condos and hotels.
