The Avalon Hotel, a restored 1920s building in downtown St. Petersburg

The Avalon Hotel · Downtown St. Petersburg

Black Car Service to The Avalon Hotel, St. Petersburg

One of the 1920s hotels that survived, restored and still small — a handsome brick front on a downtown corner rather than a resort. Guests choose it for the building, and arrive expecting the arrival to match.

The Building

A boutique hotel from before the word existed.

The Avalon dates from St. Petersburg's 1920s boom, when the city built a row of small hotels for winter visitors arriving by train. Most are gone; this one was restored and is still doing the job it was built for, a few blocks from Central Avenue and a walk from the waterfront.

It has the footprint of its era, which means no sweeping porte-cochère and no valet queue. Pickups are kerbside and quick if the car is already there, which is why we stage ahead of the booking rather than dispatching at the appointed minute.

  • Kerbside pickup with the car already waiting
  • Bags carried from the lobby
  • Central Avenue and waterfront evening runs
  • Early departures without a valet wait

02 / Weddings, and the Rest of the Weekend

A hotel this size is usually part of a bigger day.

Small historic hotels attract wedding parties and anniversary weekends, and the hotel is rarely the venue — it is where the couple or the family sleeps while the event happens somewhere else in the city. The transport therefore spans several addresses across two or three days.

We take the whole weekend rather than the wedding day: airport arrivals as they land, the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony and reception runs, and the departures on the Sunday. One schedule, one desk, one invoice.

The whole weekend, not just the day

Rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, brunch and four sets of departing flights — planned together, they interlock. Booked separately, they collide.

The Car & the Chauffeur

A detailed sedan or SUV, and a chauffeur who waits.

Every The Avalon Hotel transfer runs in a Mercedes-Benz E 350 sedan or a GMC Yukon SUV, cleaned before it leaves and driven by a chauffeur in coat and tie. Flights are tracked against the actual landing rather than the schedule, so a delay moves the pickup instead of costing you the car, and the driver meets you rather than texting a plate number from a garage.

  • Mercedes-Benz E 350 sedan — up to 3 passengers
  • GMC Yukon SUV — up to 6 passengers and luggage
  • Flight tracked; wait time built into airport pickups
  • One dispatch desk for multi-car and multi-day movements

Max Luxury Limo is an independent chauffeur company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a preferred provider for The Avalon Hotel.

FAQ

The Avalon Hotel Black Car Service — FAQ

Do you provide black car service to The Avalon Hotel in St. Petersburg?
Yes. We run chauffeured black car transfers to and from The Avalon Hotel — PIE and TPA airport transfers, wedding and anniversary weekend transport, Central Avenue and waterfront evenings, and point-to-point trips across Tampa Bay.
Is there a valet or forecourt at the hotel?
It is a 1920s building with a street frontage rather than a resort porte-cochère, so pickups are kerbside. That works well provided the car is already there, which is why the chauffeur arrives ahead of your booking rather than at the appointed minute.
Can you cover a whole wedding weekend?
Yes, and it is the better way to book it. Arrivals, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and Sunday departures planned as one schedule interlock properly; booked separately as individual trips they tend to collide.
How far is The Avalon from the airports?
PIE is roughly 20 to 25 minutes away, TPA roughly 30 to 40 minutes over the Howard Frankland Bridge. Both are approximations in normal traffic and we schedule from your actual landing.
Do you provide limousine service for a wedding here?
We provide executive black car service — a Mercedes-Benz E 350 sedan as the lead car and GMC Yukon SUVs for the party. We do not operate stretch limousines, so if a stretch is central to your plan we are not the right fit.
