Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge and Restaurant located at 700 North Atlantic Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale,FL. The 144 room motor lodge along with the Howard Johnson's restaurant opened on January 28th 1967. The restaurant operated until 1999 while the motor lodge retained the HJ name until 2004. After the the motor lodge closed the site sat vacant until its demolition on February 19th 2014. By the fall of 2017 an 18 story condominium complex was built on the site of the former Howard Johnson's.
Note the gate lodge featured a unique design which allowed cars to literally "drive under" the structure with the actual lobby situated next to the iconic A-Frame canopy.
