Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fort Myers Beach-Sanibel Gateway by IHG is an IHG-family hotel set in Gateway, on Florida’s southwest coast. Its long name says plainly what it is built for: a jumping-off point for the barrier islands. You are inland here, close to I-75, which keeps the property simple to reach at the end of a highway drive and simple to leave when you want to point the car toward the sand.
The Gateway address is part of the appeal. It sits back from the crowds yet keeps the coast within a simple drive, so the hotel’s own name works as a promise: this is the gateway to Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel. From this side of the water, Estero Island, the pier at Times Square, Lovers Key State Park, and Bowditch Point Park are all reachable by car. Plenty of travelers make a beach run the same day they reach, then come back to a quiet base for the night.
What you locate on arrival is a straightforward, well-placed home base rather than a resort you never leave. Check in, drop the bags, and the region opens up in every direction: the islands to the south and west, the highway north and back toward Miami. For the specifics of the rooms and what the stay includes, the hotel’s own official page is the place to look. Our part is simpler and just as important. We make sure the ride there is settled before you land, so the first thing you do in southwest Florida is climb into a car that is already yours and let someone else handle the road.
This is a door-to-door private transfer: your driver is already waiting when you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport, helps with the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle reserved for your group alone. Your bags ride with you, and the car runs straight to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fort Myers Beach-Sanibel Gateway by IHG with no transfer and no stop you did not ask for.
The route follows I-75 across the state, and the journey runs roughly two and a half hours door to door depending on traffic. Off-peak the highway moves rapidly; a morning or late-afternoon rush pushes the drive toward the longer end. Because the driver tracks your flight, a delayed arrival merely moves the pickup, and tolls, fuel, and the meet-and-greet are already covered in the flat fare.
