From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences Miami in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
Your driver tracks the flight and adjusts to the real landing time, then meets you at the arrivals level of Miami International Airport. Curbside meet-and-greet is included; if you prefer to be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet choice for $40. Once the bags are in the vehicle, the ride is direct and door to door.
The Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences Miami sits in the heart of Downtown Miami, the compact core where the city’s arena, museums, and waterfront all sit within a short reach of one another. Staying here puts you at the center of things, with the energy of the downtown grid on one side and Biscayne Bay just beyond it.
Step out and the neighborhood opens up quickly. The Kaseya Center draws crowds for games and concerts, while Museum Park gathers the region’s cultural stops along the water. Bayside Marketplace is close by for open-air shopping and dining at the marina, and Bayfront Park offers green space and bay views a short distance away. It is a part of the city built for walking once you have arrived and dropped your bags.
Downtown Miami also sits near the gateway to PortMiami’s cruise terminals, which makes this a practical base whether you are settling in for a few nights or heading onward to a ship. Business travelers find the same convenience useful, with a central address that keeps meetings and dinners close at hand. For anyone landing at the airport and wanting to be near the action without a long drive across town, this stretch of Downtown Miami keeps the arena, the shops, the parks, and the water all in easy range of the front door.
Your trip is a single private leg from the airport straight to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences Miami. Your driver follows the inbound flight in real time, so an early or late landing simply shifts the pickup, and meets you after you exit the terminal to assist with the luggage and walk you to the vehicle. The bags ride with you, and the car is reserved for your party alone, curb to front door.
From the airport the route runs along the Dolphin Expressway and SR-836 Toll into Downtown Miami. Plan on roughly 17 to 22 minutes depending on the traffic on that stretch, which is really the only variable on the day. Tolls and fuel are already built into the flat fare, so there is nothing to settle on the road, and you arrive at the hotel ready to check in.
