Janet524 Posted November 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I am looking at the prices for hotels for the night of 2/25/18 and they are crazy high. We're staying at the Hyatt Place at 17th Street next month and it's $80 less than the rate for 2/25/18. I've checked a whole list from LaQuinta to Marriotts and they're all crazy. Is there some kind of event going on that's driving the rates so high? We've stayed in FLL about this same time in previous years and I don't remember the hotels being as expensive.

volk904 Posted November 14, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2017 You are right rooms are very high. Try the Home2 Suites by Hilton. They have 2 in FLL. We stayed in one 2 weeks ago on the west coast. It was excellent. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BNBR Posted November 14, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I am unaware of anything major going on in February. But lots of people do like to come to Florida in the winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use valuetrips .Com and you can get the Hyatt Place for $219 in the peak months. A good deal. Rates are always high Jan. - March. Nothing unusual happening.

BlueHerons Posted November 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Fort Lauderdale is having record occupancy which is why there are currently four hotels under construction downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah1212 Posted November 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 15, 2017 That's the end of President's Day Week when a lot of schools are off. It also leads into March so you're likely seeing the beginning of high season spring break rates too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare debsjc Posted November 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Have you tried Hotwire for an unnamed hotel? That's what we did for Fort Lauderdale before, and how I have just booked my Miami hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunello22 Posted November 17, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Another reason why that weekend is so busy and expensive is the South Beach Wine & Food Festival. Although most of the events are in South Beach, there are some events in and around Fort Lauderdale, which attract a lot of visitors. Good suggestion about Hotwire.
