From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Hotel Tea Room 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.
The Hotel Tea Room sits in Davenport, out on the western side of Central Florida’s theme-park country. This is the part of the region that fills with golf resorts and rental villas rather than high-rise blocks, set west of the I-4 exits that funnel visitors toward Disney. The draw is simple: the large parks stay a short drive away while the daily crowds keep their distance, so you obtain room to breathe between outings.
Step outside the property and the surrounding region does a lot of the work for you. ChampionsGate and Reunion Resort both sit within simple reach, two names known for their golf and their quiet, spread-out grounds. When the plan calls for shopping, Posner Park is close by. The parks themselves are only minutes off, which makes The Hotel Tea Room a practical base whether your days are built around fairways, roller coasters, or a little of each.
Arriving after a cruise, what most travelers desire first is a clean handoff from ship to room, and this stretch of Davenport is built for exactly that kind of unwinding. The pace is simple, the setting reads more as resort country than city block, and there is enough within a short drive to fill the hours you are not at the parks. Your chauffeur brings you straight to the door of The Hotel Tea Room, luggage and all, so the first thing on your list is merely checking in and settling.
This is a private, door-to-door run from the PortMiami cruise terminal straight to The Hotel Tea Room. Once you clear disembarkation, your chauffeur is already waiting at the terminal, ready to load the bags and obtain you moving without a wait in any line. The route heads north and west along Florida’s Turnpike, covering roughly 229 miles from the pier to the hotel door.
Plan on about 244 to 252 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and the traffic. Your luggage stays with you in the vehicle the whole way, and the car is yours alone, so there are no detours to drop off anyone else. If the ship clears late, the driver waits; when you walk out, the vehicle is there, and the next stop is The Hotel Tea Room.
