Although not as posh as Palm Beach or as Deco-trendy as Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale has a growing roster of more than respectable lodging choices, from beachfront luxury suites to intimate bed-and-breakfasts to chain hotels along the Intracoastal Waterway. If you want to be on the beach, be sure to ask specifically when booking your room, since many hotels advertise "waterfront" accommodations that are actually on inland waterways.
