For 35% off regular rates, retreat to a landmark hotel -- touted by Fodor’s for its "historic appeal and nice views" -- in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale.

The Riverside Hotel, the only hotel on Las Olas Boulevard, trims rates to $104 per night through September -- including weekends and holidays.

Built in 1936, the city’s oldest hotel boasts a heated pool and sundeck overlooking the New River, two bars and a dock for boats up to 150 feet.

Classic rooms boast new mattresses, antique oak furnishings, free wireless Internet access and views of Las Olas Boulevard or the hotel courtyard.

Guests will find a slew of sidewalk cafes, lively nightclubs, upscale boutiques, art galleries and dining right outside the hotel's front doors. For $0.50, hop on a trolley to Ft. Lauderdale beach, which is less than two miles away.
