Garden of Manors is an adults‑only LGBTQ+ guesthouse nestled in the vibrant heart of Wilton Manors — Fort Lauderdale’s celebrated “Island City.” As a boutique retreat designed by Anthony & Joe, we merged bold aesthetics with playful sensuality, crafting a space that feels less like a hotel and more like an intimate, expressive sanctuary. Our guesthouse features uniquely curated rooms, each infused with color, light, and a sense of theatrical comfort. With high-end linens, ambient lighting, customized artwork, private bathrooms, and plush touches — every detail is designed to invite relaxation, intrigue, and connection. We aim to be your peaceful yet provocative base for exploring Wilton Drive’s nightlife, local art galleries, queer culture, and South Florida's beaches. Whether this is your first time here or you're returning, Garden of Manors offers a space to rest, recharge, mingle, and indulge — all in a spirit of stylish authenticity.

Hello! We are Anthony & Joe, your hosts and the heart behind Garden of Manors. As LGBTQ+ travelers ourselves, we created this guesthouse as a space where authenticity, design, and community come together. Hosting to us is about more than providing a room — it's about creating an atmosphere where guests feel celebrated, seen, and free to be themselves. We love vintage art, music explorations after dark, and curating local connections. We’re always happy to share favorite cafés, hidden bars, secret walks, or a quiet place to unwind. Our goal: to make your stay feel like arriving at home — yet delightfully unexpected.

Garden of Manors is located in the heartbeat of Wilton Manors — a city recognized for its vibrant queer culture, walkable streets, and colorful energy.
