Can you find a deal at a Miami luxury hotel? See what’s offered on a visit to these 5
At one luxury hotel in downtown Miami, anyone can rent for the day a poolside cabana with an expansive view of Biscayne Bay.
At a resort in Aventura, local residents can get a 2-for-1 deal on a popular water park..
And at a high-end hotel in Miami Beach, you don’t need to fly in from out of town to enjoy the spa.
If you’re looking for a quick hotel getaway for a last-minute Labor Day staycation, you may be in luck. Several hotels have promotional offers, and many of those will run through October.
As summer comes to an end, South Florida hotels are trying to appeal to a non-traditional audience: those who live nearby.
Occupancy rates at Miami-Dade County hotels are higher this year, according to CoStar, a real estate analytics firm. But hotels face fierce competition.
September and October are typically slow months for South Florida hotels, and focusing on locals is good business.
Here is a selection of hotel promotions for last-minute travelers:
