Port Everglades hotels within walking distance

Terminals 2 and 4 are at the north end of Port Everglades, just inside the entrance where SE 17th Street meets Eisenhower Boulevard. The port calls Terminal 4 its Disney Cruise Line terminal. The hotels along 17th Street are close enough to walk from. The table lists every hotel we checked within a 25-minute walk, closest first.

The times are OpenStreetMap walking routes at an even pace, from the hotel’s address to the terminal buildings; add a few minutes if you are pulling suitcases. On the way in you pass the port’s security checkpoint, where everyone 18 or over shows photo ID and cruise documents.

Which hotel is closest to Port Everglades on foot?

The Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, at 1881 SE 17th Street, is a 9-minute walk from Terminals 2 and 4 on our route. Its homepage calls it a Disney Cruise Line partner hotel. It runs shuttles to the port and the airport for a fee it doesn’t publish, and its Cruise Package (plan code P0) includes breakfast and transport to the port. Parking is $48 to $58 a night self and $52 to $62 valet, though another part of its page says valet only, and a daily resort fee applies without the amount shown.

The Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel, at 1850 SE 17th Street, is a 10-minute walk. The port calls it the only accommodation on port property, and it is attached to the Broward County Convention Center. Its shuttle to the terminals is free “for eligible cruise guests and select cruise packages”, in the hotel’s words, and you email the hotel to book it. Its Sail & Stay offer adds 10% off, the port shuttle, luggage storage on arrival and departure days and a $100 resort credit. Parking is valet only, $60 a night.

Which other hotels are a short walk from Terminals 2 and 4?

The Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Marina Hotel (formerly the Renaissance Cruise Port Hotel) and the Holiday Inn Express Ft. Lauderdale Cruise-Airport are 11 minutes away, and Extended Stay America Premier Suites 13.

• The Renaissance lists no cruise offer and stresses that it charges no resort fee. Self-parking is $40 a day and valet $45.
• The Holiday Inn Express mentions Park and Cruise packages without terms, charges $10 a night for covered self-parking, and runs a free airport shuttle from 5:00 AM to 11:45 PM.
• Extended Stay America lists Park & Cruise for a fee and tells you to ask the hotel.

The Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale 17th Street is 18 minutes on foot. It sells a $15-a-person shuttle to the port, and parking is $36 a day self or $41 valet.

Pier Sixty-Six is 21 minutes away. It doesn’t offer transport to the port, but cruise passengers can leave a car with its valet for the whole cruise at $60 plus tax a night, and it charges no resort fee.

The Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port & Convention Center is 22 minutes away and runs a $10-a-person shuttle to the port, timed around the cruise schedules. The Four Points by Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport/Cruise Port is 24 minutes away; despite its name, its page lists no cruise shuttle or package.

Can I walk to Terminals 18 to 29?

Not realistically. The southern terminals are about a mile further along Eisenhower Boulevard and Eller Drive, and the closest hotels, the Omni, the Renaissance and the Holiday Inn Express, are a 34-minute walk from them. By car the same hotels are 10 or 11 minutes away.

Several 17th Street hotels can take you instead: the Omni for eligible guests, the Hyatt Place for $10, the Embassy Suites for $15 and the Hilton for a fee. The cruise shuttle guide has the full list.

Where can I leave the car?

Pier Sixty-Six is the one hotel here with a published price for parking during a cruise. The Holiday Inn Express and Extended Stay America mention cruise parking without terms, so ask them. The Fort Lauderdale park and cruise guide covers the rest, and the Florida parking guide the port’s own garages.
