[Ed. Note: Welcome to our Good Rate/Bad Rate feature where we look at hotel prices in the same city and decide which one most deserves your hard-earned benjamins. Rates quotes here were captured July 10, 2007 and are subject to change. Enjoy.]

Finding a St. Regis package deal that is more than just a bean counter's sum of its parts is a challenge, but we found one that is worth looking into. The new St. Regis in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida is kicking things off with an oddly named "Taste of Luxury" package. What fine touches of luxury do you get with this package? Breakfast for two and the inclusion of taxes in the rates. Ooohhh pinch us - we can't believe we landed such VIP treatment!

With occupancy so high in most areas, the name may be misleading but the rates for this package are decent (see screen shot) even if you pay up to see the ocean that is.

So is it worth an extra $110 to see a glimpse of the waves in an "ocean view room"? Is it worth another $110 to go from that to "oceanfront"? We'd stay out of our room and use the extra for cocktails with a view from the swanky bar, but that's just us.

This package is good for bookings for July through September (known locally as "the sweltering months"). And it is advertised as fourth night free with a three-night stay, which definitely makes it more attractive, but we couldn't get that to work on their Web site, so you should phone them to sort it out (877-787-3447).

The same with other deals on the special offers page.

Speaking of Web sites, why are these big corporate ones so slow to update their photos? If they're open for business, is it so hard to snap a new digital photo of the exterior and get rid of the architectural drawing that shows up on the home page?
