Parking & Access at Miami Airport Convention Center (MACC): A Planner’s Quick Guide
When you’re selecting a venue, “easy to get to” isn’t a nice-to-have — it directly impacts attendance, load-in timing, exhibitor satisfaction, and the overall guest experience. That’s why the Miami Airport Convention Center (MACC) campus, connected to the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Miami Airport & Convention Center, is a strong choice for planners who need scale and convenience.
Below is a clear, planner-friendly overview of parking, airport access, and on-site event logistics at MACC — written to help you make decisions fast.
Why planners like this campus location
MACC and the DoubleTree campus sits in the Blue Lagoon / Miami Airport area, near the SR 836 (Dolphin) and SR 826 (Palmetto) interchange, which makes arrivals straightforward from multiple directions. MACC
And for out-of-town attendees, the airport proximity is a real advantage: the property is about 10 minutes from Miami International Airport (MIA) by shuttle drive-time. MACC
Airport shuttle schedule (simple and reliable)
For attendees flying in, MACC/DoubleTree offers a complimentary airport shuttle:
- 7 days a week
- 6:00 am to 11:00 pm
- Typically runs on the hour and on the half-hour MACC
This is the kind of detail that helps planners reduce friction for guests and speakers — and it’s easy to include in your event “Know Before You Go” email.

Why this matters for events: space + hotel on the same campus
For planners, it’s not just access — it’s the combination of venue scale and on-site lodging.
MACC highlights a campus offering approximately 172,000 sq. ft. of event space with the DoubleTree providing 334 guest rooms on-site, plus additional nearby inventory through the local hotel network. MACC
The MACC site also references four ballrooms and 50+ meeting/banquet venues across the campus. MACC
If you’re planning a conference, trade show, corporate meeting, or social event and want a venue where airport access + parking + on-site hotel work together, MACC is built for that use case.
