4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Fort Lauderdale

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Fort Lauderdale is between August and October, when hotel prices may drop. For those looking to explore the city's key landmarks and cultural sites, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to enjoy the beautiful beaches, vibrant marina, and various excursions, while also taking in the local history and culture through dining, dancing, and experiencing stunning sunrises by the sea. With its budget-friendly options, Fort Lauderdale offers great value for money for travellers on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals for accommodation in Fort Lauderdale, consider visiting the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize opportunities to save. The Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re more likely to see the best options. With these resources, you'll be well-prepared to book a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Fort Lauderdale hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is relatively high, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable, helping you find the best possible deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Fort Lauderdale's excellent public transport connections, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further afield that is still well linked. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money available. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
