From $89 per vehicle — a private ride to or from Port of Miami and Hotel Beaux Arts, Autograph Collection takes about 10 to 30 minutes by black SUV or climate-controlled van, at a flat rate. The hotel sits at 255 Biscayne Boulevard Way in the Brickell/Downtown Miami region. Your bilingual driver meets the group at the cruise terminal and drives door to door.
Fares are flat and per vehicle, locked when you book and never raised for traffic, demand, or the size of your cruise group.
Reserving a private vehicle in advance is the smoothest way off the ship and over to the hotel. You pick the tier that fits your party: a black SUV for up to five travelers, or a van for groups of six to nine or ten to fourteen. After you clear the terminal, the driver is waiting curbside, ready to load your cruise luggage and pull straight out toward Brickell — no taxi line, no waiting for a shared ride to fill. There is plenty of room for suitcases, carry-ons, and the bags that consistently seem to multiply on a cruise. Booking is done over WhatsApp: you send your ship name, arrival date, and group size, and the journey is confirmed with a flat fare before you ever board. On the day you disembark, you merely walk out and ride straight to the door at 255 Biscayne Boulevard Way.
Plan on roughly 10 to 30 minutes between the cruise terminal and Hotel Beaux Arts. Off-peak, when the causeways and downtown streets are clear, the run is commonly near the short end, around 10 to 15 minutes. The longer end shows up on heavy disembarkation mornings, when several ships empty at once and traffic stacks up leaving PortMiami and crossing into Brickell. Rain, rush hour, and large events downtown can also nudge the journey toward the half-hour mark. Because the route is short and stays close to the water and the downtown core, even a slow day rarely stretches much past 14 minutes. Your driver knows which approach into Brickell is moving and routes around the worst of it. The flat fare does not change no matter which way the clock runs, so a longer drive on a hectic morning costs you exactly what was quoted.
Hotel Beaux Arts, Autograph Collection occupies the upper floors of a glass tower at 255 Biscayne Boulevard Way, on the edge of Brickell and Downtown Miami beside Biscayne Bay. The location puts you a short stroll from waterfront promenades, the financial district’s restaurants, and the bridge over to the Brickell core. You can read more on the official Hotel Beaux Arts Overview page before you journey.
The hotel works well as a pre- or post-cruise stay because it sits just minutes from the terminals while feeling like a quiet retreat above the city. Suites look out over the bay and skyline, and the boutique feel suits travelers winding down after a sailing. You can compare layouts on the official Hotel Beaux Arts Room Options page.
Within easy reach you have the open-air shops and dining at Brickell City Centre, the waterside walkways along Biscayne Bay, and the markets and boat tours over at Bayside. Museum Park, with its science center and art museum, sits just across the boulevard. The Brickell area itself is packed with rooftop bars, coffee spots, and restaurants steps from the hotel door.
Yes — you can book the return alongside your arrival in one reservation. A round journey is merely double the one-way fare for your vehicle tier, with the same flat pricing applied each way. Reserving both legs at once locks in your departure ride so you are not arranging a pickup at the last minute before re-boarding.
The driver waits curbside right at your terminal and meets the group as you exit. Request a name sign in advance on WhatsApp and the driver will hold it up so you spot them quickly. Once you reach the curb, bags go in and you head straight to the hotel.
Yes — disembarkation-day pickups are exactly what this service is built for. Share your ship name and debark date when you book, and the driver plans around your scheduled exit time. Even on busy mornings with several ships unloading, your private vehicle is reserved and waiting for your group.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole party rides for the single price listed above for the chosen tier, whether that is two travelers in the SUV or a dozen in the larger van. There is no per-head charge added on top.
Yes — each vehicle leaves room for the suitcases and carry-ons that come off a cruise. Choose the tier that fits your headcount and the driver loads everything at the curb. If your group is large or heavily packed, mention it on WhatsApp so the right-sized vehicle is assigned.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
