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 are typically lower. For a truly enriching experience, it’s advisable to stay for at least 3 to 4 days, allowing ample time to discover the city's key historical and cultural landmarks. During your visit, you can enjoy the beautiful beaches, indulge in vibrant dining and dancing, and partake in excursions around the marina. This budget-friendly approach ensures you can experience the best of Fort Lauderdale’s rich heritage without stretching your finances, as prices may drop during this off-peak season.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Fort Lauderdale, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates close to your travel date. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and exclusive promotions, helping you avoid missing any potential savings. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a useful comparison tool available via the app, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities. This way, if prices drop or rooms become available, you’re more likely to be informed first, enabling you to book a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates might 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, at times, 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 leans towards the higher end, we can suggest more economical dates, increasing the likelihood that you'll secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Fort Lauderdale's excellent public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often remarkable value for money to be found.
