From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Real Living Hotel Residences 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Real Living Hotel Residences pairs the room of an apartment with the service of a hotel, so you have space to unpack and settle in after a week aboard the ship. It sits in Miami’s arts corner, where Wynwood and Midtown meet, which makes it a simple base for travelers who desire galleries and good food a short walk from the door.
Step outside and the neighborhood does the rest. The Wynwood Walls, indie galleries, and food halls anchor the scene, with the Design District’s luxury storefronts a little further along and the Rubell Museum close by in Wynwood. It is a walkable, arts-first pocket of the city rather than a stretch of highway hotels, so the stay feels like part of Miami instead of a stop on the way to it.
Arrival is meant to be simple. Your driver brings you straight to the residence, your bags come out of the vehicle at the entrance, and you check in without a shuttle line or a long transfer between the port and your room. From there the district is yours to discover on foot.
The run is a single direct leg. Once your group clears the terminal, your chauffeur meets you at the curb, loads the luggage into the vehicle, and drives straight to Real Living Hotel Residences with no stops along the way. There is no walk across the port and no hunting for the car in a lot.
The route follows Port Boulevard and US-1, covering roughly 2.7 miles in about 12 to 14 minutes. Because the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, the driver is already in place when you step out, and the fare you booked stays the same no matter how hectic the port is that morning.
