Walking and driving times are OpenStreetMap routes from each hotel's address to the terminal building, without traffic. Past a 25-minute walk we give the drive instead. Shuttle, package and parking details are from each hotel's own website, read on October 28, 2026. Room rates change daily, so we don't print them: "Check prices" opens the hotel on Booking.com, which pays us a commission if you book. It doesn't change the order of this list.

Port Canaveral has two groups of cruise terminals on opposite sides of the harbour: Terminals 5, 6, 8 and 10 on the north side and Terminals 1, 2 and 3 on the south side. The closest hotels are in Cape Canaveral, by Jetty Park and along Astronaut Boulevard and Central Boulevard, with a few more at the north end of Cocoa Beach. This list is the 14 closest by car to whichever side is nearer, in order.

We measured each hotel’s drive to both sides on OpenStreetMap, without traffic. Where a hotel is within a 25-minute walk, the table gives the walk instead; only two are, and only to the south side.

Which hotel is closest to the Port Canaveral cruise terminals?

The Holiday Inn Club Vacations Cape Canaveral Beach Resort, at 1000 Shorewood Drive by Jetty Park, is 4 minutes by car from the south-side terminals and a 13-minute walk. It is a villa resort sold through IHG; parking is free for registered guests during their stay, and it runs no shuttle.

The Holiday Inn Express Cape Canaveral, on the same block, is 5 minutes by car and a 16-minute walk. It calls itself the closest hotel to the cruise terminal and has no shuttle. It sells cruise parking at $18 a night including tax, and Park Stay & Go packages with one night and up to 4 or 8 nights’ parking. Its overnight parking comes inside a $16.80 nightly amenity fee, though another line on the same page says $15 plus tax.

Both are on the wrong side for the north terminals: 13 and 14 minutes by car.

Which hotels are closest to the north-side terminals?

The Astronaut Boulevard group. The Homewood Suites and the Residence Inn are 10 minutes from Terminals 5 to 10 by car; the Hyatt Place, the Country Inn & Suites, the Hampton Inn & Suites, the Home2 Suites, the TownePlace Suites and the Hilton Garden Inn are 11; the Radisson and the SpringHill Suites are 12. The same hotels are 7 to 9 minutes from the south side.

The Hilton Garden Inn on Imperial Boulevard isn’t on OpenStreetMap as a building, so its times are measured from a point on its street and are approximate.

What do the Astronaut Boulevard hotels offer cruise passengers?

Nearly all of them sell a ride to the port and parking for the cruise:

  • Hyatt Place: $10 a person each direction, booked by phone no earlier than two weeks ahead; cruise parking $12 a day, first come, first served.
  • Homewood Suites: a third-party shuttle at $12 a person; cruise parking $12 a night plus tax.
  • Residence Inn: $12 a person each way, leaving at 9:30, 11:30 and 12:30; no cruise parking rate is published.
  • Hampton Inn & Suites and Home2 Suites, which share 9004 Astronaut Boulevard: a third-party shuttle at $12 a person; cruise parking $25 a night plus tax.
  • Country Inn & Suites: $10 a person each way, booked and paid directly with Cocoa Beach Transfers. The hotel says its parking packages end for new bookings from November 1, 2026, after which parking is $12 a night plus tax.
  • TownePlace Suites: $12 a person each way, booked only the night before; overnight and cruise parking $15 a night.
  • Hilton Garden Inn: $10 a person each way, leaving at 9:45 and 11:15 AM.
  • Radisson Resort at the Port: cruise parking at $12.95 a day plus 7% tax, with the shuttle included for up to four people.
  • SpringHill Suites: $10.80 a person each way, booked the night before; cruise parking $12.84 a night, though its FAQ gives self-parking as $15 a day.

What about the north end of Cocoa Beach?

The Best Western Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral and the Days Inn Cocoa Beach Port Canaveral, on North Atlantic Avenue, are 8 minutes from the south side and 13 from the north. The Best Western lets you leave the car free for the length of the cruise with its Stay and Cruise rate, which you ask the hotel about; its parking is otherwise $12 a night, though an alert on the same page says $10. The Days Inn lists no cruise offer. Neither lists a cruise shuttle.

For every hotel we checked, including Cocoa Beach, the mainland and Orlando airport, see hotels near Port Canaveral. The port’s own parking is $20 a day plus tax; the park and cruise guide compares it with the hotels’ rates.
