EMBASSY SUITES - OFFICIAL HOTEL

Situated along Fort Lauderdale’s 17th Street Causeway near the Intracoastal Waterway, the Embassy Suites is a comfortable home base for teams, families, and fans during the Cruzin Classic.

Restaurants, shops, and everyday essentials are just a short walk from the hotel, so you can grab a meal, pick up supplies, or unwind without getting in the car. Fort Lauderdale Beach and Las Olas Boulevard are only a few minutes away when you want sand, water, or a night out.

Every room is a spacious two-room suite with a separate living area and sofa bed — extra space that makes a difference for families and traveling groups. Start the day with complimentary made-to-order breakfast, then wind down at the complimentary evening reception. Between games, the outdoor pool, hot tub, and 24-hour fitness center give everyone a place to reset.

Trip Sports has arranged a discount for families, fans, and boosters of the participating teams. To access the discount, please click on the following link. You will be taken to the Embassy Suites website.

GROUND TRANSPORTATION - GETTING TO THE HOTEL

Most fans will fly into Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) for the Cruzin Classic. Once on the ground, there are several ways to get to the hotel.

  • RIDE SHARING – Uber and Lyft are very prevalent and popular in South Florida.
  • TAXI – Taxis can be found just outside of each terminal. The short ride to the hotel will cost you approximately $15.
  • RENTAL CAR – Almost all major car rental companies are present at FLL. There is a Rental Car Center in the center of the airport. Signs are posted on how to get there, but easiest access is walking from Terminal 1. NOTE: Please remember that when you rent a car and stay at the Hilton (Official Hotel) that there are daily parking fees of $36 (self-park) or $41 (valet).
  • LIMOUSINE – Rates vary. If you are interested in this option, we would recommend that you speak with the Embassy Suites (Official Hotel) directly for their recommendation on which company to use.

VISIT LAUDERDALE

Visit Lauderdale

It’s always a good time to be in Greater Fort Lauderdale. And the reasons are as abundant as the sun and palm trees. There are more than 300 sunshine-y days a year in this South Florida destination, which gives visitors and locals plenty of opportunity to enjoy nature, boating, diverse neighborhoods, events, attractions, and unique only-here specialness that helps define Greater Fort Lauderdale.

It’s easy to spend a day at the beach, with soft sands, beachfront promenades as well as beachfront shopping and dining. With comfortable year-round temperatures, the Atlantic Ocean is always inviting to SCUBA divers, snorkelers, stand-up paddleboarders, Jet-Skiers, as well as families.

There are also thrills back on land, but it’s not necessarily “dry.” You can get a taste of the craft breweries along the Greater Fort Lauderdale Ale Trail. Enjoy the impressive “wine and dine” scene — a mix of worldly flavors, local favorites and chef-centric genius. The destination also boasts luxury hotels, museums, nightlife, shopping, casinos and family-friendly fun from the Everglades to the arts scene. Days out and about. Nights out on the town. Explore the local way of life that welcomes one and all.
