FORT LAUDERDALE â Dozens of new hotels are opening all across South Florida this year â ready for the day that pandemic-averse travelers decide to take those long-awaited vacations.
The surge of new hotels is happening near the airports, along the beaches and in downtown areas. Most of the hotels fly the flags of major national brands such as Hilton, Marriott and Holiday Inn.
Broward and Palm Beach counties are seeing a combined two dozen hotels coming online this year â and Miami-Dadeâs numbers nearly match them both, according to Colliers International data.
Those planning hotel stays shouldnât expect widespread discounts: As long as COVID-19 suppresses the publicâs prepandemic desire to travel, itâll keep depressing hotel revenues industrywide, analysts say. What travelers can expect are hotel staffs eager to woo them with fancy restaurants, spas, fitness centers and commitments to keep them safe from the coronavirus.
