Fort Lauderdale, famous for Spring break parties, retirees and northerners escaping the winter, has 23 miles of sandy beaches on which to relax and play. There is more to Fort Lauderdale than just beaches. Malls and outlet stores keep shoppers busy, while sports fans have horse racing and jai alai, and everyone can enjoy the wide selection of restaurants, from family to seafood to steakhouses to buffets. There is no shortage of things to do in Fort Lauderdale, just as there's no shortage of places to stay, including two-bedroom places that are suitable for families and groups.
Located right on the famous Fort Lauderdale strip, the Hilton is about 5 miles from the Fort Lauderdale airport and under 6 miles to Dania, home of the world's fastest sport, jai alai. The Hilton offers many types of rooms, including the three-room, two-bedroom suite with two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room and a living room with a queen-sized pull-out. The suites have two large-screen TVs, Wi-Fi and a balcony with a sea view. Guests can cool off in the pool that overlooks the ocean, work out in the fitness room or relax with one of the many treatments at the spa.
