From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Arrivals at MIA can feel hectic, so the meeting point is simple: the driver, already aware of your landing time from the flight tracking, waits at the arrivals level. The typical curbside greeting costs nothing extra, and the Meet & Greet inside the hall, name sign in hand, is offered for $40. After that, the journey is private and direct.
The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club sits in the heart of South Beach, the walkable stretch of Miami Beach where the Art Deco Historic District lines the streets with pastel facades and rounded corners. The hotel places you close to the coast, so a stay here frequently begins only a short walk from the sand. You can drop your bags, change, and be looking at the water without needing another ride.
Everything South Beach is known for gathers into a few walkable blocks around the property. Ocean Drive and its café strip run along the beachfront a short stroll away, while the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall keeps its shops and open-air tables just inland. Española Way, the narrow lane of tables and lights, and the wider Art Deco Historic District are both within simple reach on foot, so most of your days can start and end without a car.
For arriving travelers, that setting is the whole point. The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club puts the beach, the dining, and the historic streets of South Beach within the same small radius, which makes it a simple base whether the journey is a quick weekend or a longer stay. We handle only the ride from the airport to the door; for rooms, rates, and what the property itself offers, the hotel’s own page is the place to check. Once the driver drops you at the entrance, the coast and the walkable blocks around it take over.
The journey runs door to door from Miami International Airport straight to The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club. After you land, your driver is already tracking the flight and meets you at arrivals once you clear the terminal, then helps load your luggage into the private vehicle reserved for your group. From the curb it is a single leg, with no transfers and no line to wait in, and the whole vehicle stays held for your party alone.
