A New Name on an Old Site

The Postcard Inn site, rebuilt and rebranded.

The Luce opened in June 2026 in the building that spent decades as the Postcard Inn, closed after hurricane damage in September 2024 and reopened following a rebuild that kept the mid-century layout — lanai rooms, bungalows, the courtyard — and brought it into Marriott's Tribute Portfolio.

Worth knowing when you book a car: plenty of navigation data, and plenty of guests, still call it the Postcard Inn. We dispatch to the address rather than the name, so either works, but on a barrier island where everything is "on Gulf Boulevard" the exact number matters.

  • Dispatch by address, not by hotel name
  • Former Postcard Inn site on Gulf Boulevard
  • Courtyard and beach-side pickup points
  • Around 200 rooms — group capable

02 / A Hotel Built for Groups

Two hundred rooms on a beach means events.

At this size the property takes wedding blocks, reunions and corporate retreats rather than only couples, and the transport that comes with those is the same shape as anywhere else on the island: arrivals spread across two airports and two days, one big Saturday, and a check-out morning that everybody shares.

We schedule all three. Arrival waves as the flights land, held cars for the event itself, and sequenced departures with margin for the Bayway.

The check-out morning

Two hundred rooms leaving on the same Sunday puts a lot of cars on one road. Departures are staged and sequenced rather than dispatched together.

The Car & the Chauffeur

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

Every The Luce, St. Pete Beach, a Tribute Portfolio 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 Luce, St. Pete Beach, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel.

FAQ

The Luce, St. Pete Beach, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel Black Car Service — FAQ

Do you provide black car service to The Luce, St. Pete Beach?
Yes. We run chauffeured black car transfers to and from The Luce, St. Pete Beach, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel — PIE and TPA airport transfers, wedding and group transport, and point-to-point trips along Gulf Boulevard.
Is The Luce the same place as the Postcard Inn?
Same site, new hotel. The Postcard Inn closed after hurricane damage in September 2024; the property was rebuilt and reopened as The Luce in June 2026 under Marriott's Tribute Portfolio. Many guests and some navigation data still use the old name, so we dispatch to the address to avoid any confusion.
How long is the transfer from the airports?
Roughly 25 to 30 minutes from PIE and 40 to 50 minutes from TPA in normal conditions. Both are approximations that stretch in season when the Pinellas Bayway is busy.
Can you handle a wedding or a reunion block here?
Yes. At around two hundred rooms the hotel takes proper group business, and we run it as a programme: arrival waves across both airports, held cars for the event itself, and sequenced departures on the check-out morning.
Where will the car collect us?
At the hotel entrance by default, with the courtyard as the usual alternative when the frontage is busy. On a check-out morning we agree the point in advance so two hundred rooms are not all looking for their car in the same place.
