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 Wi-Fi 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 Fort Lauderdale beach, less than two miles away.
