A modern oasis serving cocktails and views on the Intracoastal Waterway

The Crowne Plaza Hotel Hollywood Beach Resort lures guests with stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway--a glorious sight from the infinity edge pool and the room balconies. Located directly across from Hollywood Beach, the 314-room property caters to travelers with a love for contemporary design and the extras that matter like a designated quiet zone floor for executives plus free Wi-Fi and free accommodations for kids under 12.

Highlights
  • Gourmet bistro and poolside tiki bar
  • Designated quiet zone and sleep program developed by Sound Sleep
  • Intracoastal Waterway views and modern rooms
  • Outdoor infinity pool and fitness center
  • Across the beach and near Aventura Mall, Sun Life Stadium and other attractions
Rooms

Rooms at the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort brim with contemporary luxury and extras like custom beddings, bountiful pillows, a sleep CD with relaxation tips and a quiet zone on the sixth floor. On this designated floor and during nighttime hours, housekeepers are not allowed to work and travelers with children and leisure groups are booked in other areas of the property. Balconies with water views, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV, plus a mini-refrigerator and microwave ensure a comfortable stay.

Dining

Whether the mood calls for poolside cocktails at Lava Tiki Bar or tasty panini, crisp salads and healthy wraps at Elements Bistro, the Crowne Plaza Hotel Hollywood Beach Resort sets the scene for tropical dining. But don't leave out the morning essential: Starbucks coffee at Cool Beans Coffee Bar.

Recreation

Guests at Crowne Plaza Hotel Hollywood Beach Resort enjoy views of the Intracoastal Waterway directly from the pool, a lagoon-like orb lined by palm trees and sun loungers. While soaking up rays, bartenders at the Lava Tiki Bar can concoct fresh tropical beverages to serve poolside. For a cardio kick, an on-site fitness center fuels the endorphins via treadmills, stationary bikes and strength training machines.

Crown Hotel experience

Very hot week, staff was attentive. Internet via ipad was sketchy. I originally was disappointed because not on the beach ---even though self promoted as "beach resort", it was perfect! not too close, but close enough to everything. Pool clean and I loved the endless pool facing the riverwalk with boat taxis coming to your back door. Fort Lauderdale was a very nice surprise. Definitley going back.

Take the trolley to downtown and walk the shops. Definitely go to the shops in Olas Downtown Fort Lauderdale. So much to see, and all very ecclectic.

One of the Best Vacation Places

My husband and two children and I stayed at this hotel during our summer vacation this year. We had such a great time and truly loved everything about this place. The staff was very helpful and cordial. No matter what type of request we had or questions they were able to answer them all. Our room was comfy and clean and had everything we needed (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, internet etc.) We loved hanging at the pool, felt like an oasis. The Tikki bar and restaurant on site were great. Maybe a little pricey but there are plenty of other placed to dine and buy groceries from. Right in front of the Hotel is the towns Trolley and bus stop, which was great as we decided not to rent a car. We were able to get to the board walk, the mall and even took a trip to Miami that way. We were sad when our week was over with and will visit again in the future.

NOT a 4 star hotel as promised. Disappointed

Even from the outside, it's clear that this Crowne Plaza is NOT a 4 star hotel, as was promised. There's only 1 restaurant, which is relatively expensive (especially for breakfast) and it would have been nice to have a variety of restaurants to choose from as most 4 stars have. The room wasn't awful, but it wasn't good either. Our towel rack in the bathroom fell down TWICE, although the maintenance staff was on it, they obviously don't know what they're doing. Was very disappointed, and the hotel really needs something else for it to even be considered a decent hotel. The valet parking per day was $19! Self parking is $16 per day. That's crazy. All in all, I won't be back, and very disappointed.

The best thing we did was visit Butterfly World. Its about 35 minutes from the hotel, but it's AMAZING with live butterfly enclosures, and able to hand feed parrots.

Great Pool and View - where's the rest?

Hotel is nicely positioned in the Hollywood and Ft. Lauderdale area. Great pool that sits on the intercoastal waterway. Rooms give you the basics only. No comfortable chair, vanity awkward and not enough space. Worst is their prices for brteakfast and lunch. $15 for a hamburger, $19 for a salad with chicken. WOW. Not enough lounges at the pool, people arguing over lounges. Need chairs at pool area - only had lounges.

crowne plaza

location is good, rooms are modern and clean.. and spacious. dont expect any views as all rooms face parking lot and the only way to see the ocean is to go to the balcony and twist your head sideways. our room was in the so called quiet zone, but there was a considerable level of noise from passers by... i guess the walls there are very thin.

beautiful pool

great place at a fantastic location only 5 minutes in car of Hollywood beach which is gorgeous! Nice rooms , comfortable beds. friendly staff at the reception. The only complaint was that they always forgot to leave the correct number of towels in our room but brought them to us as soon as we requested them.

Good hotel for 3-days getaway

That was a nice hotel just near the white sand beach (across the street). We traveled with 2-years old daughter, she was happy with the pool and whirlpool. The room was spacious enough to place the crib and make the "small playground" inside.
