Where Is Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port & Convention Center?

The hotel is located in the SE 17th Street area of Fort Lauderdale, south of downtown. Its position is particularly convenient for people sailing from Port Everglades, visitors attending Broward County Convention Center and passengers traveling through Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

DestinationApproximate Location / Travel Consideration
Port EvergladesAbout 0.5 mile to the port area; terminal distance varies.
FLL AirportAbout 3 miles from the hotel.

SE 17th StreetNearby dining, retail and services.

Local travel tip: Being close to the Port Everglades entrance does not necessarily mean your cruise terminal is within comfortable walking distance. Cruise terminals are spread throughout a controlled-access working seaport. Use your cruise line’s assigned terminal information and a suitable vehicle transfer.

Port Everglades Cruise Shuttle: Fare, Times & How to Reserve

The hotel provides transportation toward Port Everglades for cruise passengers. Hyatt’s hotel overview advertises departures at 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, noon and 1:00 PM for $9 per person. Its dedicated FAQ instead lists $10 per person and says times vary with cruise schedules.

Use the hotel’s front desk as the final authority for the current price, departure timetable and seat availability. The shuttle should not be assumed to be free or automatically included with your room.

How to Arrange Your Cruise Transfer

  1. Find your ship and terminal. Check the terminal assignment in your cruise line’s app, documents or the port’s ship schedule.
  2. Speak with the hotel front desk. Preferably make arrangements the evening before departure.
  3. Confirm the current fare. Ask whether the per-person charge includes luggage and whether children pay the same rate.
  4. Choose a departure. Match the shuttle timing to your cruise line’s assigned terminal arrival window.
  5. Be ready early. Bring passports or other required travel documents, baggage and shuttle payment instructions.
  6. Confirm the actual terminal drop-off. Port Everglades serves multiple terminals; tell the driver the ship name and terminal.
Example shuttle budgeting:

At $10 per passenger, two guests would budget $20 and four guests $40 for the outbound trip, before any extra charges. This is an illustration, not a guaranteed total.

For passengers arriving after a cruise, confirm whether a return shuttle or pickup from the port is offered. An advertised hotel-to-port departure service does not establish that a return transfer is included.

Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) to the Hotel

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is about three miles from the property. The hotel mentions airport shuttle transportation, but a current official airport fare, operating timetable and pickup location were not consistently available in the verified hotel pages.

What Cruise Passengers Need to Know About Port Everglades

Port Everglades is an operating seaport with security checkpoints and multiple cruise terminals. Your boarding location is determined by your cruise line and itinerary, not by the hotel’s address.

Documents and Port Arrival

  • Keep your cruise boarding documents readily accessible.
  • Bring the passport or other travel documents required for your specific itinerary.
  • Adults aged 18 and over should be prepared to present government-issued photo identification at the port checkpoint.
  • Attach cruise luggage tags before handing checked luggage to porters.
  • Keep medicines, identification, essential valuables and documents in carry-on luggage.
  • Check the terminal assignment before leaving the hotel because terminal locations can change.
Do not plan an airport transfer too tightly after your cruise.

Disembarkation, baggage handling, customs/immigration processing, traffic and airport security can all delay onward travel. Follow your cruise line’s flight-booking guidance.

How to Book Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port & Convention Center

Follow these steps to avoid selecting a similarly named Hyatt property near the airport.

  1. Open the correct Hyatt hotel page. Use the official listing linked below and check that the address is 1851 SE 10th Ave.
  2. Enter arrival and departure dates. For a pre-cruise trip, many travelers choose the night before sailing rather than arriving on embarkation day.
  3. Enter your full party size. Include children and select suitable bedding or accessible configurations.
  4. Compare displayed rates. Review cancellation deadlines, taxes, payment conditions and any rate-specific inclusions.
  5. Check transfer and parking requirements. Hotel room price does not establish cruise shuttle or long-term parking eligibility.
  6. Complete the reservation. Save your confirmation number and confirm which room category was booked.
  7. Arrange shuttle services. Call the hotel or speak to reception before your departure to confirm fares and boarding arrangements.

Is This Hotel a Good Choice for Your Trip?

Traveler TypeWhat Makes It Useful
Pre-cruise travelersProximity to Port Everglades and arranged paid shuttle service.
Post-cruise travelersSpacious rooms, restaurants, pool and nearby airport access.
Convention visitorsConvenient base near Broward County Convention Center.
FamiliesTwo-double-bed options, sleeper sofas, breakfast and outdoor pool.
Business guestsDesk space, Wi-Fi, fitness center and on-site meeting facilities.
Travelers prioritizing beach accessBeach is several miles away; transport is needed, so a beachfront hotel may be more convenient.

Bottom line: The biggest advantage is its practical location between the cruise port, airport and convention district. If walking straight onto the beach is your main priority, this property is less suitable than a hotel directly along the beachfront.
