The Spotlight on Candlewood Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport-Cruise By IHG

All-Suite Comfort Just Minutes from Fort Lauderdale’s Live Music Scene

Modern and practical, Candlewood Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport-Cruise is a traveler-friendly, all-suite hotel located near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Its convenient location and home-like amenities make it a smart base for concert-goers, especially those flying in or heading to the cruise port.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a top pick for fans attending shows in downtown Fort Lauderdale or nearby venues. The free airport shuttle makes late-night arrivals easy, and the hotel’s location just off State Road 84 puts you on a quick route to the Riverwalk Arts & Entertainment District. With free WiFi, a quiet atmosphere, and no-fuss check-in from 3 PM, it’s easy to settle in before or after a show. The flexible 12 PM checkout means you can catch some extra sleep after a late night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a convenient launching pad for concerts and nightlife
  • Solo travelers flying in for a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples looking to pair a concert with a weekend getaway
  • Fans needing a quiet space to wind down post-performance
  • Budget-conscious travelers who still want comfort and space

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each suite comes with a fully equipped kitchenette, making post-show snacks or pre-show meals easy. The on-site convenience store is stocked with essentials, and there are several walkable dining spots nearby. Breakfast may not be included, but the kitchen setup gives you the freedom to sleep in and eat on your schedule.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel doesn’t feature its own bar or live music, you’re just a short ride from Fort Lauderdale’s vibrant nightlife. The Las Olas Riverwalk area offers live music venues, cocktail lounges, and craft beer spots that are perfect for pre- or post-concert hangouts.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the spacious, clean suites and the convenience of having a full kitchen. The free airport and cruise port shuttle is consistently praised, along with the pet-friendly policy and quiet surroundings. Many note that it’s a great value for the price, especially for longer stays or group travel.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the hotel’s location feels a bit industrial or out of the way if you’re not driving. There’s no bar or restaurant on-site, so it’s not the best option if you’re looking for a buzzing social scene right outside your door. Still, rideshares are easy to grab.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and quiet after the encore, Candlewood Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport-Cruise is a smart and budget-friendly choice.

Very poor

Liked: The transfer
Disliked: They ask me to pay 100$ and that it would back to my account after I left -- it wasn't. They require extra payment outside booking or I could't stay there even it was already fully paid.

It was a short stay...

Liked: The bed was comfortable and the room was clean.
Disliked: I placed an order for 2 queen beds and when I arrived and questioned the single queen the gentleman told me, "You can either take it or go find somewhere else to stay" It was 1:30 ish in the morning by the time my flight arrived so therefore we did not really have another choice but to accept the room offered.

Friendly and helpful staff, would...

Liked: The staff were very helpful and friendly. I had an issue where my door wouldn't open on arrival and this was resolved very quickly and I was given another room.The room itself was spacious and had everything i needed for my short stay.The free shuttle to and from the airport was very useful. You will need to be able to make a phone call to request a pick up.
Disliked: It took me a little while to find the main light switch as it was hidden by the fridge, but once you know it's there it's easy to reach.
