About
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Gulf Breeze – Pensacola Area is at 50 Daniel Drive, just off Gulf Breeze Parkway near the Bob Sikes Bridge. IHG lists Pensacola Beach about a mile and a half away, making this one of the closest off-beach hotels to the sand. The Gulf Islands National Seashore, the Gulf Breeze Zoo, Blue Wahoos Stadium and Naval Air Station Pensacola all appear on IHG’s list of nearby attractions, and Pensacola International Airport is about ten miles away.
A complimentary hot breakfast bar is served every morning, with slightly later hours on weekends. The hotel has an outdoor pool, a 24/7 fitness center, a boardroom for small meetings and an outdoor fire pit for evenings. There is an electric vehicle charging station, and WiFi is free.
Parking is free, which is a real advantage compared with paid lots on Pensacola Beach. The hotel does not allow pets and does not offer a shuttle.
This Holiday Inn Express is a smart choice for beach-focused families and couples who prefer a standard hotel with breakfast and free parking to a Gulf-front resort, and for visitors to the national seashore at Fort Pickens. The shops and restaurants on Gulf Breeze Parkway are close, and downtown Pensacola is about 15 minutes away across the bay bridge. Rooms and suites are available.
