Hotel411.com, Inc. operates a network of specialized travel directories, port transfer resources, and regional guides. Backed by nearly three decades of hands-on hospitality and travel agency experience in South Florida, we provide travelers with verified local lodging recommendations, pre-cruise packages, and direct customer booking assistance.

Editorial Standards & Expertise

Our travel reviews, destination profiles, and lodging guides are curated directly by experienced travel coordinators who know the local terrain, terminal transfer times, and hotel amenities firsthand.

  • Licensed Agency Background: Active in Florida hospitality, cruise ticketing, and lodging negotiations since the mid-1990s.
  • Verified Local Insights: Detailed local guidance for Port Everglades, Miami Beach, Key West, and national convention hubs.
  • Independent Editorial Integrity: Property ratings and recommendations are based on practical value, proximity, and traveler feedback.

Our Operating History & Network Evolution

Our company began in 1995 with the launch of Net411.com to provide early directory assistance on the World Wide Web. In 1996, we expanded into dedicated Florida destination travel with the launch and acquisition of fortlauderdalehotels.com. Recognizing the growing demand for transparent hotel reservations and cruise transfer packages, we systematically established comprehensive travel portals covering Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach, Key West, and Orlando.

Under the leadership of Co-Founder and Vice President of Marketing Jay Taylor, Hotel411.com, Inc. grew from local Florida lodging negotiations to managing over 30 dedicated travel, port, and convention center portals. Over the past 25+ years, we have served university athletic teams attending events at Fort Lauderdale’s Swimming Hall of Fame, corporate event delegations, and thousands of independent cruise travelers.
