Besr Fort Lauderdale hotel location

[jojokay]

We want to stay a couple days post-cruise. I am not familiar with the city. We want to book a hotel in Fort Lauderdale that has plenty of restaurants and shops in walking distance. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Many cruisers stay in the Convention Center area (often referred to as 17th Street). There is a large shopping area (Harbor Plaza) nearby and MANY good places to dine. If you are into wine, Total Wine is a great place to shop (in Harbor Plaza).

We stayed 3 nights post cruise at the Bahia Mar Doubletree. Beautiful hotel and fabulous location! Able to walk to restaurants and bars. Water taxi was right next to hotel. No need for a rental car.

What do yo want to do while you are here?

 

What is your budget?

 

Will you have a rental car?

 

Do you want to spend time at the beach or just lay by the pool and enjoy the warm weather or do an Everglades tour?

For a two day stay, 17th St. hotels wouldn't be my choice to enjoy the good life of Fort. Stay along the beach.

Can't offer more as you have offered little to guide us to the best choices for you.

We want to do an everglades tour and if the Penguins are home we may try to hit a game in Sunrise. Otherwise just check out Fort Lauderdale and the beaches.

Then you are going from one side of the County to the other (15 miles), so you need a rental car. I would stay in Plantation or Sunrise, perhaps one of the hotels walking distance to the BB&T Center. Then you could drive to the beach.

 

Also, Sawgrass Mills Mall is just a few blocks from the BB&T Center.

3 couples stayed at the Riverside in October and LOVED it! Awesome hotel, beautiful area. We walked and rode the water taxi. Great restaurants within walking distance. Really, really nice. Highly recommend.
