If you mean the W in Fort Lauderdale that is a great price. You usually can't get in there for less than $250/night. They have a nice restaurant, nightclub, and lobby bar for the evenings. In the daytime if you don't want to go to the beach or pool go to Galleria Mall...it's about 1.5 miles away and you can get there by taxi, private Acura provided by the W, or bus 40. I think the Sun Trolley will also take you there although that route isn't showing on the suntrolley website. You can also take a tour of Bonnet House, about 6 blocks away.

$124 is a GREAT price! I did a Priceline bid for our stay in Ft. Lauderdale in August when rates are typically higher. My winning bid (of course, I didn't know I was bidding on the W just a generic 4 star hotel) was still higher than your $124, so I would hop all over that rate. BTW, the W is a lovely hotel with a great staff. We really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to do so again.

I have a choice between Hyatt peir 66, Hilton Marina, or thw W for all around the same price in Ft Lauderdale. I'm only there for 1 night but we're getting to Ft Lauderdale early in the day and I was wondering which would be the best location for sight seeing.

May I ask how you got the same price for all 3 properties? The W

is usually much more expensive.

I've stayed at the Hyatt Pier 66 and the W, the W is thee only way to go you paid a little more than I did but BUT $124 is a great deal. No comparison between the 3, the W is in a class by itself, just stayed there 2 weeks ago and it was AWESOME!!! Hope that helps Todd

You have gotten a great price given that your stay is over the high season in Florida. Enjoy!

I do not agree.

 

There are times of year in Florida where the hotel rates are indeed higher than other times of the year.

 

Same goes even within the season.

 

It all comes down to supply and demand.

Had a fantastic weekend at the W over Thanksgiving. Got really lucky and was upgraded to a corner room overlooking the ocean and the intracoastal. Any room there would be great. There is "W" music playing softly everywhere in the background. Before long you willl get in the groove and be doing the "W walk." This is a very chic and sexy hotel. We want to live there too!!!

Government employee discount. working for uncle sam still have a few perks.

 

Thanks to all for your advice, I booked the W yesterday. One more question. What's the best way to get to the hotel, cab or shuttle?

From the FLL airport there are always cabs right outside of baggage

claim.

It's only about 5 miles or about $20 by cab.
