Hotel in Fort Lauderdale-Hyatt Regency at Pier 66

[Shaver John]

Just checking out something on the internet and found out that the Fort Lauderdale Hyatt Regency at Pier 66 has been sold. Yikes. Now we just had to book at the Hyatt Place. Think someone would have told us, but did not hear anything about it. So glad we checked it out, would not have been happy to pull up at 10pm on Feb. 14 after a long day at the air ports only to find out we either had no room, or at least were not able to get our Hyatt points with our stay. Anyone else have this happen to them, guess we will need to keep up on things like this, we book really early for our cruises and this is the first time anything like this has happened.

It is no longer part of the Hyatt Brand but is still a Hotel, now called Pier 66 Hotel and Marina I believe, Check it out.

The last time we were there we were told the hotel was going to get a major remodel. Then the hurricane hit and the hotel had to be closed. Now that the hotel is back open again I doubt we will ever see the $99 room rate again. We enjoyed staying there and being close to the cruise center.

The Pier 66 situation has been discussed extensively on the Florida Departures board, here:

as have the issues with all the hotels impacted by the hurricanes. I suspect the Mods will move this over there.

I made a reservation at the Hyatt Pier 66 for the end of March last year and had not heard anything about a change. I looked today after reading this thread and my reservation was there, just not the Hyatt any more. I also saw that rates had dropped considerably so I cancelled and rebooked a better room with the Cruise and Snooze offer and saved 45.00. Thanks for the thread!

If you want a similar location and nice hotel, book the Hilton Marina in a tower room. It was great and our balcony overlooked the cruise port. The Island Princess looked so close we thought we could touch it. ;)
