Getting to and from the airports
Miami International Airport (MIA) is the closest airport; driving or a rideshare/taxi is the straightforward option and the hotel lists approximate taxi fares from MIA on its site. The drive time is typically around 16–22 minutes depending on traffic.
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is a secondary option; it usually takes longer by car than MIA and is commonly chosen when flight schedules or fares are better.
- Recommended methods: Uber, Lyft, taxi, or car rental (hotel lists preferred Hertz rates).
- No direct public bus from the hotel to MIA is listed — rideshare or taxi are the simplest door-to-door choices.
- If you need help arranging a transfer, the Eden Roc concierge can assist.

|---|---|---|
| Miami International (MIA) | Taxi / rideshare | About 16–22 minutes by car (time varies with traffic) |
