No hot SoFla hotel is complete without a sleek salon doling out sleek tresses, so it was inevitable that the W Fort Lauderdale would join the blowout set. And it comes with serious A-list cred, as the beachfront property is the proud new location of a Ted Gibson Salon.

Sure, most of the Sex and the City hotel packages are offered in the ladies' natural habitat, New York City. And we know by now that the new movie is set in Abu Dhabi but was shot in Morocco.

Case in point, the W Fort Lauderdale, which is offering a Sex and the City Paint the Town Package.

This one is available from May 27 (when the movie opens) through July 31st, and starts at a reasonable $279 a night.
