A March wedding in Miami seemed like the perfect excuse for a winter escape until I realized it was spring break. Aside from the thought of hordes of college students on the streets, hotels were astronomically expensive, making it difficult to find a decent room under $500 on a Saturday night. I didn t want a party hotel, but I didn t want to shell out for ultra luxury either.

Kayak has confirmed it will move into hotel management with the opening of the Kayak Miami Beach.
The company, which was an early pioneer of flight metasearch in 2004 but has since become something of a second-tier player, will open the doors to the property next month.
“We see a big opportunity to apply our audience and technology to the accommodations space to level the playing field for independent hotels,” said Steve Hafner, chief
executive of Kayak.
“Our Miami Beach property will serve as our hotel design lab and deepen our knowledge of hospitality and showcase our growing capabilities.”
Guests of Kayak Miami Beach will enjoy numerous innovations during their stay.
