What better place to wine and dine your group than at the Riverside Hotel's lobby lounge, Preston's? Located on beautiful Las Olas Boulevard in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale's business district, it's close, convenient and adds flair to almost any event.

The Benefactors Advancing Covenant House (BACH) together with ARC Broward, a private, not-for-profit organization providing support and assistance primarily to children and adults with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities, recently hosted a monthly social at Preston's to raise money for Covenant House Florida.

From expertly prepared hors d'oeuvres to carefully crafted cocktails and extravagant cheese spreads, guests were delighted by the hotel's hospitality. Bringing much more than the food and drink together, the venue's warm atmosphere welcomed the warm hearts of charitable supporters for an evening of good will.

This may have been one of the first times BACH and ARC hosted their social in Fort Lauderdale, but with the personal attention of Riverside Hotel's vice president of food and beverage, Peter Schmidt, Preston's calendar of monthly social and cultural events has quickly filled up.

More than South Florida philanthropists, friends, family, young professional groups, even offices are looking to this downtown hotspot as the preferred venue for all their holiday festivities. From butler service, hand-passed hors d'oeuvres accompanied by a private pianist, to bar service below the flat-screen TV's, Preston's has it all. The lobby lounge goes above and beyond a lot of restaurants, cafes and bars, to accommodate a variety of social functions, individually customized to suit your fancy.

Don't take our word for it though! Scour your social calendar and come see for yourself. Experience Preston's.
