For those into the Mid-Century architechture, the Mai-Kai's architect, Charles McKirahan, has many great buildings still in the Fort Lauderdael area, and on your way to the hotel from the airport and especially on your way to the Mai-Kai. Make a stop and see some great stuff!

Details here

THANK YOU !!

That was exactly the type of information I was trying to research on my own. As soon as I saw that picture of the Premiere Hotel I tried to get out of my existing Tue-Wed hotel reservation to stay there.

Unfortunately it was a 72 hour cancellation policy. :(

The quick way to see lots of Mid-Century buildings, and Charles McKirahan buildings is to head up A1A toward the Mai-Kai as usual. be sure to notice the Ramada Sea Club (formerly Jolly Roger)on your way, and then turn left on Bayshore. Drive around those streets and find the Manhattan and PRemiere and others. Come back through there in the evening to see the neon!
