Best for families and Miami Beach atmosphere: dedicated family pool, Kids' Concierge, and Mid‑Beach location near the boardwalk.

Best for a formal beachfront resort experience: Ritz‑level service, club rooms, meeting space and a full spa in Fort Lauderdale.
When Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club wins: pick Cadillac if you want an Art‑Deco Miami Beach stay with direct beach access, separate family and adults‑only pools, on‑site Italian dining (Donna Mare) and a spa that offers treatments using Caudalie products. It’s also the better option for families who value a kids’ program and family pool.
When The Ritz‑Carlton, Fort Lauderdale wins: choose the Ritz‑Carlton for a classic, full‑service five‑star resort experience on Fort Lauderdale Beach — think private furnished balconies, club rooms, a larger meeting/conference footprint and a central location near Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach Park.
Bottom line: both are oceanfront luxury properties, but Cadillac is the Mid‑Beach, Miami option with a more playful, family‑friendly personality and multiple on‑site dining outlets; The Ritz‑Carlton, Fort Lauderdale is a more formal, branded seaside resort farther north better suited to travelers prioritizing Ritz‑level service, meeting options and a polished resort rhythm.
