The guest rooms, lobby, restaurant and various lounges feature carved wood furnishings, Renaissance-style window arches and colorful pallets. Despite this emphasis on past greatness, the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Port Everglades Hotel has a full complement of modern amenities, including a fitness suite and outdoor pool to take advantage of the gorgeous Florida climate.

3 Reasons To Stay:
  • Distinct style recalls the Renaissance-era tropical past of Florida and Fort Lauderdale
  • Convenient location just minutes from the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport
  • Wealth of local attractions within walking distance, including the famous Floridian beaches and port
Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Port Everglades Hotel Rooms

The Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Port Everglades Hotel has, above other hotels in the price range, a particularly idiosyncratic, yet appealing style that draws upon the influences of Renaissance-era architecture, fabrics and furnishings. These include period window shapes, dark wood furnishings with carved detail, and rugged, colorful carpets and rugs in guest rooms. Escape to a new vacation experience that, while different, is perfectly fitting with the relaxed surroundings of the city. King- or queen-size beds offer guests a range of prices and options to best suit their needs. For a slightly higher price, enjoy full access to club facilities. This includes access to the Club lounge during weekdays. High-speed and wireless Internet access is provided in all rooms, though use requires a small fee. Cable television with premium movie channels and news channels is also available at the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Port Everglades Hotel.

Very pleasant stay

We had an enjoyable one night stay at the Renaissance hotel. It is located in an area of Fort Lauderdale that offers a variety of places to eat and shop. The Renaissance is a beautiful hotel and was an excellent choice for us as we were there one day early for our cruise. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Great Location

This is the perfect hotel for anyone going on a cruise. It's a quick 5-minute shuttle to the cruise ship terminals and a quick 7-minute trip to the airport. The hotel is well appointed with a pleasant, helpful staff. The rooms are clean, well maintained and slightly larger than a standard hotel room. We got a breakfast buffet included in our room rate and it was really well done. We would definitely return should the need arise.

Dining tip: In Hotel

We arrived early evening and didn't want a heavy dinner. We found out that the lounge served light meals and we opted for that. Probably had one of the best hamburgers ever there and a really nice house cabernet. Service was attentive in a very comfortable "living room" type atmosphere. Comfy, good food and reasonably priced.

Great Price, location and experience

Nice quiet getaway hotel. Area was in walking distance (about 20/25 min ) of the beach and hot-spots but far away enough to be peaceful and quiet. Rooms were well-kept and clean. Pool was nice as well.
