The Atlantic Hotel, a luxury landmark on Fort Lauderdale beach, has introduced a promotion to mark the significance of Sept. 9, 2009.

The promotion started at 9:09 a.m. on Wednesday and lasts for 99 hours, or through 12:09 p.m. Sunday.

The “Nines Are Wild” promotion offers a $99 per room credit for guests booking a deluxe, superior or luxury suite. The credit is offered per day and the amount must be used daily.

Travel is valid for the next 99 days, or through Dec. 17.

Turn that $99 credit into a romantic gourmet dinner for two at the on-site Trina restaurant, or use it for a massage or beauty treatment at the full-service Spa Atlantic.
