From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Executive Palace Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Executive Palace Hotel sits in Hialeah, one of Florida’s largest cities and a place that runs at full working-Miami volume. This is the address you have chosen for your stay near the port, set in a part of Miami-Dade where Cuban-American families have put down generations of roots and where daily life carries a strong Spanish-speaking rhythm. When your ride pulls up, you are stepping into a real neighborhood rather than a tourist strip.
The region around the hotel gives you plenty of anchors. Historic Hialeah Park, now Hialeah Park Racing & Casino, is a short reach away, its old grounds a landmark that locals have known for years. Amelia Earhart Park and Milander Park are both close by for green space and a walk in the open, and the Palmetto Expressway runs nearby, which keeps the rest of Miami-Dade within simple driving distance once you have settled in.
On arrival the chauffeur brings you straight to the hotel’s door and helps every bag from the vehicle to the lobby, so the handoff from cruise to check-in stays simple. Anything about the property itself, from rooms to dining to the details of your booking, lives on Executive Palace Hotel’s own page; getting you there from the ship is our part of the trip. Once you are checked in, the hotel’s Hialeah setting puts working Miami, its parks, and its main roads within comfortable reach for whatever you have planned.
The ride begins the moment you clear disembarkation at your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur is organized by message as you come off, so the vehicle is waiting when you reach the curb, with no line and no searching. Bags go straight into a vehicle reserved for your party alone, and the run to Executive Palace Hotel is a single direct leg with no shared stops. Because ships rarely release everyone at the same minute, the pickup is timed to your actual arrival, with a courtesy wait built in to cover customs and the luggage hall.
From the port the driver takes Okeechobee Road and US-27 toward Hialeah, roughly 11 miles that usually runs 26 to 34 minutes depending on the hour. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, with thousands of passengers leaving the ships at once, so that traffic is already figured into the plan. Fuel and standard tolls ride inside the flat fare, and the same care applies in reverse when the hotel is your pickup and the ship is the destination.
