Super Bowl Hotels costing fans five times as much
It’s hard enough finding a moderately priced hotel room in Miami in the winter, but try doing it over Super Bowl weekend Feb. 2 to 5.
A not untypical rate for a double room at the Miami Airport Holiday Inn is $190, wrote The New York Times.
For the night before the Super Bowl, however, that same room goes for $430.
And at the already pricey Delano, a deluxe room that would have cost $775 this winter is more than twice that amount, $1,625, on Feb. 4. Despite the cost, many hotels are booked solid.
Many hotels are requiring minimums of up to seven nights during Super Bowl week. The very expensive Setai, for example, is requiring guests to stay a minimum of seven nights during Super Bowl for $950 a night.
Robert Tuchman, president of TSE Sports & Entertainment, told the Times his company was selling four-night Super Bowl packages with upper-level game tickets, but without air fare.
His packages include an autographed football, a celebrity golf tournament and a Sunday morning chat with a former N.F.L. player or coach.
“When you couple the Super Bowl with a great location like Miami, hotels can charge five times their normal price,” Mr Tuchman said.
