Fort Lauderdale Marriott Coral Springs Hotel & Convention

Where Is Fort Lauderdale Marriott Coral Springs Located?

Important: Coral Springs Is Not Downtown Fort Lauderdale

How to Park at Marriott Coral Springs

Guest Rooms, Balconies, Pool & Hotel Amenities

The Marriott offers guestrooms and suites with renovated bathrooms, workspaces, pillowtop bedding and some private balconies. Balcony availability depends on the booked room category; it is not guaranteed with every reservation.

Wi-Fi and Marriott Bonvoy

Marriott states that members of Marriott Bonvoy receive complimentary in-room Wi-Fi when booking directly through eligible Marriott channels. If high-speed access is essential for presentations or video meetings, confirm whether your selected booking includes the desired service level.

Pool and Fitness Center

The hotel provides an outdoor heated pool and a fitness center. Pool availability may change due to maintenance, severe weather or private-event activity. The fitness center is advertised as available around the clock.

Room Selection by Travel Type

Accessibility

Marriott lists mobility-accessible accommodation, roll-in showers in selected guestrooms, lowered room controls and other accessibility features. Accessible room types vary, so select the specific required configuration during booking.

If you need a guaranteed roll-in shower, accessible bed, room-door clearance or step-free meeting-room access, contact the hotel before making a nonrefundable reservation.

Pet Policy: $100 Fee, Weight Limits & Requirements

Fort Lauderdale Marriott Coral Springs welcomes pets under the hotel’s published conditions.

Before Bringing a Pet

1. Confirm the pet’s weight and the number of animals.
2. Choose a pet-eligible room or contact the hotel about availability.
3. Account for the $100 nonrefundable fee.
4. Ask about any pet-restricted hotel areas or unattended-pet conditions.
5. Bring required supplies and confirm any cleaning or damage policies.

Bowfin Kitchen + Bar, Breakfast & M Club Lounge

The hotel’s principal restaurant is Bowfin Kitchen + Bar, serving American-style meals. Bowfin Bar provides an additional setting for drinks and social gatherings. The property also offers room service.

Is Breakfast Free at Marriott Coral Springs?

Not automatically. Marriott states that breakfast is available at Bowfin Kitchen + Bar for a fee. A selected rate or M Club access may provide breakfast benefits, but those conditions depend on your reservation and eligibility.

M Club Lounge: Who Can Enter?

The M Club is on the seventh floor. Marriott advertises complimentary eligible lounge access for Platinum, Titanium and Ambassador Elite members, generally with one guest. Other guests may be able to buy access.

Marriott also advertises 24-hour lounge access for eligible guests, although staffed service and food periods are different. Breakfast offerings and hours may change during holidays and special events.

Coral Springs Convention Center: Meetings, Ballrooms & Capacity

The hotel’s convention and meeting facilities are part of the Marriott property. This makes it possible for conference delegates to stay in the same complex as the scheduled meeting space, without traveling to a different city’s convention center.

Meeting and Convention Facilities

• Large ballrooms for banquets, presentations and conferences
• Breakout and smaller meeting-room options
• Indoor and outdoor function spaces
• Corporate gatherings, exhibitions and association events
• On-site guestrooms for delegates
• Catering and banquet service
• Audio-visual equipment and event production support
• Registration, signage and event coordination services

Audio-Visual & Business Equipment

Marriott’s current events listing includes microphones, projectors, screens, televisions, public-address systems, teleconferencing and videoconferencing equipment. Other services include event lighting, security, registration support, staging, flip charts, podiums and presentation equipment.

Not every service is necessarily included in the room rental. Ask for separate quotations for audiovisual labor, microphones, internet bandwidth, furniture, stage setup and event-specific staffing.

The Marriott hosts wedding ceremonies, receptions and private celebrations using its ballrooms and outdoor event space. Its event department provides options for catering, seating layouts and wedding-related planning.

Wedding Venue Questions to Ask Before Paying a Deposit

• What catering or food-and-beverage minimum applies?
• Are outside vendors permitted and are insurance documents required?

• What happens if outdoor weather becomes unsuitable?
• What deposit and cancellation conditions apply?
• Can hotel guests receive a negotiated room-block rate?
• Does the contract include parking or valet arrangements?

For broader Florida convention-resort wedding comparisons, the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center visitor guide provides a contrasting example of a much larger hotel-and-events complex with different resort facilities and guest logistics.

Fort Lauderdale Airport to Marriott Coral Springs

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is the closest major airport identified by Marriott, at approximately 30.3 miles from the hotel.

This property is in northern Broward County, so the journey is materially different from staying near FLL’s airport terminals or in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Arriving From FLL Airport: Step by Step

Flying Into Miami Instead?

Miami International Airport may work for some travelers depending on flight price, but it is farther from Coral Springs. Check ground-transfer costs before choosing it over FLL.

If your conference is actually in Miami rather than Coral Springs, compare the separate DoubleTree Miami Airport Convention Center hotel and shuttle guide, which covers a different connected event campus near Miami International Airport.

Golf, Local Attractions & Things to Do Near Heron Bay

The hotel’s Heron Bay location is more suburban and golf-oriented than Fort Lauderdale’s beach district. A car or arranged transportation is useful for most outside attractions.

Beach Trips

Marriott’s area guide lists Deerfield Beach approximately 14 miles away and Fort Lauderdale Beach approximately 32 miles away. Beaches are not within walking distance, and travel times depend on traffic.

Weather and Seasonal Planning

• Summer: Expect heat, high humidity and frequent afternoon rain or thunderstorms.
• Hurricane season: Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30; monitor official forecasts and event cancellation terms.
• Outdoor weddings: Arrange a rain backup and consider humidity for formal attire and equipment.
• Winter and spring: Popular visitor periods can affect room availability and regional event traffic.
• Driving: Sawgrass Expressway and nearby highways can experience congestion and toll charges.

For comparison with a different Florida Marriott convention resort, our Gaylord Palms Orlando-area parking and resort-fee guide explains how hotel location, additional charges and large resort facilities can change the total cost of a convention stay.

How to Book Fort Lauderdale Marriott Coral Springs

Room prices vary by date, room category, event schedules and availability. The advertised nightly rate may not include every cost, so check the complete total before completing payment.

Example Travel Budget

Booking tip: A lower nightly room price is not always the least expensive total stay. Compare the final room bill together with parking, breakfast, pet charges, transportation and cancellation flexibility.
