From $89 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables covers 6 miles (9.7 km) in 11 to 18 minutes door to door, in a black SUV or climate-controlled van, at a flat rate. A bilingual driver collects your group right at the cruise terminal and drives straight to the hotel in Coral Gables.
Pricing is per vehicle and tied to passenger count, not to distance or demand.
The most direct way to reach Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables is a private vehicle that leaves the terminal the moment your group is ready. Select the tier that matches your party — a black SUV for up to 5 passengers, or a climate-controlled van for 6-9 or 10-14 — and the whole group rides together. The driver collects you right outside the cruise terminal and loads your cruise luggage; there is plenty of room for it. From the port the route runs about 6 miles southwest into Coral Gables and stops at the hotel door, with no transfers and no shared stops. Booking takes one message: send your ship name, arrival date, terminal, and party size by WhatsApp or through the website, and your pickup is reserved in advance, held for your group alone.
PortMiami to Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables takes 11 to 18 minutes door to door. Off-peak, the 6-mile run southwest into Coral Gables clears in about 11 minutes. At peak — a weekday rush or a morning when several ships disembark at once — the same distance stretches toward 18 minutes as terminal roads and the bridges off the port slow down. The route is short and direct, so even the peak figure stays well under twenty minutes. Your driver leaves the moment your group clears the terminal rather than to a fixed clock, and the brief distance keeps arrival times predictable even on a hectic morning.
When several ships debark at once, terminal exits and the bridges off the port back up, nudging the ride toward its peak figure. On a quieter morning it runs nearer the low end. The short distance keeps the trip under twenty minutes regardless of the crowd.
Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables stands on Aragon Avenue in downtown Coral Gables, a 1920s Mediterranean-revival landmark now part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection. The neighborhood trades South Beach’s crowds for quiet, banyan-shaded streets and walkable dining — a simple base before or after a sailing. For rooms, rates, and amenities, check the Hotel Colonnade official site or the Autograph Collection hotel overview. Your driver stops right at the entrance, so the move from terminal to lobby is one seamless ride with no curbside scramble.
Coral Gables suits cruise travelers who want calm over nightlife. The hotel sits a short ride from the port, close enough for an easy transfer yet clear of terminal noise. Miracle Mile dining, the Biltmore, and Miami International Airport all lie within a quick drive, making it a practical first or last night around a sailing.
Miracle Mile begins steps from the lobby, lined with boutiques, sidewalk cafes, and restaurants. The historic Venetian Pool and the Biltmore Hotel grounds sit a few minutes farther. Coral Gables stays walkable and shaded, an easy stroll to stretch your legs after days aboard ship.
Payment is one simple stage: the full fare is charged at booking.
The driver meets your group curbside at the cruise terminal exit as you come out. Request a name sign over WhatsApp in advance and the driver holds it so you spot the car quickly. From there it is a direct ride to Hotel Colonnade with no shuttle transfers.
Yes — same-day disembarkation pickups are typical, and booking ahead is still top so a vehicle is held for your group. Share your ship, terminal, and the date when you reserve, and the driver plans around your debark window. A short notice on WhatsApp the morning of works when plans shift.
Lock in your pickup before you sail. Send your ship name, arrival or departure date, terminal, and party size, and a private vehicle is held for your group, ready at the curb. Message over WhatsApp for the fastest reply, day or night, and the driver confirms the plan back to you.
