From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from West Palm Beach to Castle Hotel, Autograph Collection in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
The driver comes to your hotel, home or address in West Palm Beach at the agreed time, loads the bags and heads north with only your party on board. There is no counter, no shared van and no waiting for other passengers: the vehicle is yours from the door to the resort entrance. A courtesy wait of 15 minutes is included at the pickup.
The Castle Hotel belongs to Marriott’s Autograph Collection, a group of independent hotels that each keep their own character rather than a single chain template. This one stands in Orlando, set within the city’s theme-park and resort district — the part of Central Florida built around its renowned attractions. For a traveler heading up from West Palm Beach, it makes a clear, single destination: one address to offer, one entrance to be dropped at, with the parks close by once you have settled in.
Because the hotel sits in the resort corridor, it puts you where most Orlando trips are aimed. The theme parks and the wider resort region spread out around this district, so choosing a base here keeps you near the reason most people make the drive in the first place. Arriving by private car means you reach that district without a rental counter, a parking deck, or a search for the right building — the chauffeur knows the route in and brings you to the door.
On arrival, the driver pulls up at the hotel entrance rather than a distant lot, and your luggage comes out of the vehicle with you. There is no curbside scramble at the far end and no second leg to arrange; the ride ends where your stay begins. You step out at the entrance with your bags in hand, ready for the parks whenever you choose to start. From that point the transfer is done — the door-to-door drive from West Palm Beach to the Castle Hotel is the whole of what has been booked.
The ride begins at your own door in West Palm Beach — a hotel, a home, or any address you name. At the agreed time your bilingual chauffeur is waiting, loads the luggage into the vehicle, and heads north toward Orlando. There is nothing to rent and nothing to park; you settle in while the driver handles the whole Florida’s Turnpike to I-4 corridor. One optional comfort stop for a restroom or a stretch fits in easily, and the flat rate stays the same.
Under normal conditions the drive runs about 2.9 hours from door to door, holding steady when traffic is light through the middle of the day. Weekday rush, Friday getaways, and holiday weekends can add thirty to sixty minutes, so if a check-in time is waiting, name it at booking and the pickup is set early enough to obtain you there with room to spare. The same driver stays with you the entire way.
