Nicknamed "Venice of America," Fort Lauderdale is located in Southern Florida.

The Hyatt Regency Pier 66 is known for having some of the most beautiful waterfront views in Fort Lauderdale and is located only minutes away from the beach, shopping, and restaurants. Enjoy your day at the beach or Pier 66 Marina, then relax in the European health and beauty spa. The hotel also rents equipment for an adventurous day of water sports. Dine in one of the five restaurants, then enjoy a nightly dip in one of the three pools.

A great budget hotel is the Green Island Inn. Concierge.com recommends this 25-room hotel that is located in an out-of-the-way location. This hotel has a lush tropical courtyard with a gazebo and pool. Each room comes with a kitchenette, and the hotel welcomes children and pets.
