Las Olas Company

The Las Olas Company was one of the original investors in Fort Lauderdale's Las Olas Boulevard.

The Las Olas Co. also owns and manages the Riverside Hotel on Las Olas Boulevard and remains one of Las Olas Boulevard's largest property owners.

The Las Olas Co. was started in 1936, when two brothers from Chicago - Preston Wells and John Wells - built an 80-room hotel "with baths" and named it the Hotel Champ Carr in honor of its general manager.

In 1947, Champ Carr stepped down and the brothers renamed the property the Riverside Hotel.

The Riverside Hotel is now one of the oldest hotels in downtown Fort Lauderdale. After a expansion and renovation project three years ago, the hotel grew to more than 11,000 square feet of meeting and banquet facilities and 206 guest rooms and 11 suites.
