We are pleased to present a rare and highly versatile investment opportunity in the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s thriving tourism corridor. This unique offering includes an 11-unit motel and two single-family homes—one 2-bedroom and one 1-bedroom—situated on two adjoining parcels totaling 21,450 square feet of prime land.
The motel features a desirable mix of five spacious one-bedroom suites and six well-appointed studio units, each equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and stove—providing guests with comfortable, extended-stay amenities. The two single-family homes add flexibility for an owner/operator or can be repurposed for additional guest accommodations or event space.
Ideally located just off the 17th Street Causeway and east of Federal Highway (US-1), the property benefits from immediate access to many of South Florida’s most popular attractions. It is less than one mile from the newly expanded 1.2 million-square-foot Broward County Convention Center and the bustling Port Everglades—one of the nation's busiest cruise ports, which welcomed over 1.7 million passengers in 2022. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Las Olas Boulevard, and Fort Lauderdale Beach are also within minutes, along with an array of high-end restaurants, bars, marinas, and shopping destinations. Many of these attractions are within walking distance, making the location highly desirable for both short- and long-term visitors.
Currently operated as the Inn Leather Guest House—a men-only, clothing-optional, LGBTQ-friendly hotel—the property has been a profitable and well-known destination since 1999. A new owner may choose to continue the established business model or reposition the property to suit a broader audience. Its layout and location make it ideally suited for conversion into a boutique hotel, wellness retreat, or charming bed & breakfast. Alternatively, developers may explore redevelopment potential given the land size, flexible configuration, and strategic positioning.
With its unparalleled location, existing operational infrastructure, and significant upside potential, this property offers a compelling opportunity for investors, hoteliers, and visionaries looking to capitalize on Fort Lauderdale’s sustained tourism growth and evolving hospitality landscape.
