Getting from Miami International Airport (MIA)
MIA is the nearest major airport to Faena Miami Beach and is commonly used by hotel guests. The dossier lists an approximate one-way rideshare fare and travel time for MIA to the hotel.
Faena does not operate a dedicated airport shuttle. Book a taxi or rideshare (Uber/Lyft), arrange a prebooked private transfer, or use public transport followed by a short local transfer.
- Rideshare example: an UberX from MIA is commonly estimated around $35 one-way and about 15–20 minutes travel time (varies with traffic).
- Private car transfers can be reserved in advance through third-party providers if you prefer a named driver or meet-and-greet service.
- If you use public transit, check Metrobus routes and the free Miami Beach Trolley for connections to Collins Avenue (see next section).
| Option | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Taxi / Rideshare | Door-to-door; common, price and time vary by demand |
| Private transfer | Prebookable; often includes meet-and-greet |
| Public transit + local transfer | Cheaper but requires transfers and more time |
Getting from Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International (FLL)
FLL is a second airport option. Travel time and cost are typically higher than from MIA because the airport is farther from Miami Beach.
As with MIA, Faena does not list an airport shuttle. Most guests arriving at FLL choose taxi/rideshare or a prebooked private transfer to reach Miami Beach.
- Expect longer travel times and higher fares compared with MIA.
- Prebooked private transfers may offer fixed pricing and a smooth arrival, especially during peak periods.

Public transit and the free Miami Beach Trolley
Miami-Dade Metrobus and the free Miami Beach Trolley are budget-friendly options. Metrobus Route 120 (Beach MAX) and Route 150 serve Collins Avenue corridors and can get you close to the hotel.
The Miami Beach Trolley runs free routes across South, Middle and North Beach, with frequent stops along Collins Avenue; schedules vary by route and day of week.
- Metrobus fares and routes change; check current schedules and route maps before you travel.
- Trolley service is free and runs roughly every 15–20 minutes on most routes, generally daytime to late evening (hours vary).
- Public transit requires luggage handling and transfers — plan extra time compared with a direct car transfer.
| Service | Useful for |
|---|---|
| Metrobus (e.g., 120 Beach MAX) | Lower-cost link from downtown or airport-shuttle hubs to Collins Ave |
| Miami Beach Trolley | Free local connections along Collins Avenue and to nearby beaches |
| Combination (bus + trolley) | Cheapest option but involves transfers |
Rideshare, taxi, and private transfer tips
Taxis and rideshare (Uber/Lyft) are the most common door-to-door choices for convenience; traffic, time of day, and surge pricing affect cost and arrival time. The dossier includes a typical UberX estimate from MIA, but fares change frequently.
If you want to avoid surge pricing or need a larger vehicle, reserve a private transfer in advance. Private transfers can include meet-and-greet at the terminal and fixed cancellation policies.
- Typical UberX from MIA: around $35 one-way and ~15–20 minutes (estimate varies).
- Confirm pickup locations at the airport — terminals have designated rideshare and taxi pickup zones.
- If you plan to arrive late at night or with a lot of luggage, prebook a private transfer to ensure an appropriate vehicle.
| Choice | When to pick it |
|---|---|
| Rideshare / Taxi | Quick, on-demand, flexible |
| Private transfer | Larger groups, scheduled meet-and-greet, fixed pricing |
| Public transit + Trolley | Lowest cost, more time, requires transfers |
