Fort Lauderdale Travel Deals

Fort Lauderdale Hotels

No longer primarily stocked with mom-and-pop motels, Broward County (which includes Fort Lauderdale) has recently broadened and deepened its offerings to include more than 600 hotels and resorts, with a growing number of higher-end properties which go for over $300 per night. Though the new crop of luxury hotels is getting most of the attention, several good moderate and budget options remain.

Fort Lauderdale Restaurants

Gone are the days when Fort Lauderdale dining was little more than greasy-spoon diners on the budget end and surf-and-turf on the fancy end. Among the 3,500-plus local restaurants, interesting options ranging from Brazilian to Thai are springing up like porcini mushrooms all over the county. And don't be put off by a fancy restaurant in a strip mall: Outside the Las Olas pedestrian corridor, that kind of setting is pretty common. Whenever possible, call ahead and make reservations, especially at the hotter spots along Las Olas Boulevard and A1A.
