Rental Car

Driving/Parking

Should you be driving to the venue, either in your own car or in a rental, you'll be able to drive right up to the building and our valet service will take care of the rest! They will be running until 12 AM (which is when the building closes as well), so if you are planning to remain in the area afterwards then you will have to pick up your car and park elsewhere. If you are staying in the area, be aware that hotel parking is unfortunately quite expensive (both hotels charge about $30 a night for valet). There are some public parking garages very close by which you might consider; you can click the link below to see some nearby parking options and their cost! (The red pin on the map is the Cruz building)

Hotel

Hotel Arya

Hotel Arya (owned by Best Western) is a super nice place only a quarter mile from the Cruz building! It has a patio and small pool with a great view on the eighth floor, a rooftop fitness center, and complimentary breakfast every morning! It's less than a 10 minute walk to the venue, less than a mile from the bay, and located right near Grand Ave., the heart of Coconut Grove shopping and dining. This area is very walkable, and it will remain busy and well populated throughout the day! Please click the button below to book a room through our room block!

Hotel

Courtyard by Marriott

This Marriott hotel is located exactly a mile from the venue nearby a number of other hotels, and offers a lot of great services like access to a large pool and hotel bikes that can be borrowed! The rate is applicable for the 2 days before and after the block as well, if you are looking to arrive early or stay late! This hotel provides a little bit more space away from the busier parts of Coconut Grove, but is certainly still part of the immediate area. Located very close to Kennedy Park, as well as other parks and the marina, this location allows for lots of great views of the bay and plenty of space to walk, run, or sit among some great Florida scenery! (A.C.'s Icees, located outside Kennedy park, is very close by and was voted the best frozen lemonade by Maria) Please click the button below to book a room through our room block!

Flight

MIA

Miami International Airport is one of two major airports in South Florida. Only 25 minutes away from the venue! This airport hosts a lot of international travel, and is deeper into Miami proper, so it may be a bit more of a busy experience. Takes a long time to walk to baggage.

Flight

FLL

Fort Lauderdale International Airport is one of two major airports in South Florida. Only 45 minutes away from the venue! Recently renovated, but bag pickup is quite slow. Not located in a busy part of town, so it's easy to drive to/from.

Flight

PBI

Palm Beach International airport is about 1 hour 20 minutes from the venue. We have not had the pleasure of visiting this airport, but have occasionally seen really good deals on flights. It's a bit of a drive, but you might look into it if the other two airports don't have a lot of good options!
