The tenth largest city in Florida, Fort Lauderdale is home to all kinds of industries. Indeed, tourism is just one of the many sectors that find the “Venice of America” a great place in which to thrive.
From the yachting industry to a thriving cultural scene, the beaches of Fort Lauderdale make it an attractive locale also for people looking to spend the colder months under the sun. It therefore seems only natural that the city offers several quality coworking spaces from which you can clock in your hours before going for that cocktail or swim!
We've gathered together all the top coworking spaces in Fort Lauderdale for coworking, hotdesking, private office rental, and more. All offer excellent WiFi so the bases are covered, but read on to learn more about what each has to offer!

We begin this list with a strong contender for the most comprehensive coworking offer in the area. Axis Space, located on Las Olas Way in Downtown Fort Lauderdale in a modern building over 4 floors, gives you many options. Private offices, dedicated desks and shared spaces are all offered with 24/7 access, hot drinks, access to a nap room as well as to a gym and a pool. You can also book a conference room or a social mailbox (to give your business its own professional address), and you have the option of buying a membership (the private office, for instance, starts at $800/month) or a day pass ($30). Newcomers can go on a tour before deciding.
