FLL Cruise port and convenient hotel

Our first experience with the FLL cruise port and would greatly appreciate a few suggestions.

We are looking for a nice 4 or 5 ** hotel that offers airport shuttle, either comp. or $$.

Convenient to where we overnight, would like a a store to purchase several bottles of wine. We will not have a car.

Thank you SO much for your time.

There are dozens of hotels threads here...take a look around.

Perhaps the newest 4/5 star place is the Ft Lauderdale Conrad.

As discussed here regularly, don't get tied up in shuttles, taxis are plentiful and inexpensive, and Uber is even cheaper.

Start with www.sunny.org.

Many cruisers like the 17th Street area for proximity to the airport and Port Everglades, a range of hotels (Embassy Suites, Hyatt Place, Holiday Inn Express, Renaissance, Hilton Marina, and Four Points by Sheraton plus some I may have left some out), lots of dining and shopping options. The Harbor Shops have a Publix grocery (sells wine and beach stuff), a Total Wine (lots and lots of wine at good prices), and a TJ Maxx (beach clothing and accessories).

The nicest hotels (4* and 5*) are on the beach a little further away from the airport and port but still convenient to shopping and dining. All the major chains (Hilton, Four Seasons, Conrad, Ritz Carlton, Sonesta, W, Marriott Harbor Beach, etc.) are represented plus there are locals like the Pillars, Lago Mar, the Atlantic, the Pelican Grand, and the Riverside (downtown, not on the beach).

Take a look at recommendations on this board too.

We would price out Hyatt Place, Holiday Inn Express, and Embassy Suites as they are near the port

and in a good walking area.

AND they are all near Total Wine!!

These are not 4-5 star hotels but they are great hotels near shopping, dining, and the port.

To the OP, aside from The Conrad, take a look at The Pillars, The Ritz-Carlton, and The W Hotel.

Any thoughts on Pier 66. Is it still Hyatt?

No. It is no longer a Hyatt. A quick Google search reveals it is the Pier 66 Hotel and Marina now. There are dozens of discussions on it here. It is not a 4 or 5 star hotel.

We just stayed at the Hilton Marina in a tower room overlooking the port. From there we were able to walk to Total Wine and More to purchase wine for our cruise. I would highly recommend both the Hilton and Total Wine.

Thanks to all for your remarks. We have confirmed the Hilton Marina with a tower view room.

Will either walk to Total Wine or ask Uber to stop on our way from the airport to the hotel.
