Airports

Reagan National Airport (DCA) is closest to the hotels and is a reasonable taxi ride or, in the case of the Key Bridge Marriott, accessible by Metro.   A taxi ride will take 10 – 15 minutes and should cost  $10 - $15 depending on the number of people and bags.

Dulles International (IAD)—We advise taking the "Super Shuttle" van from Dulles Airport to your hotel. It costs $22 and $10 for each additional person going to the hotel. It is about a 45-minute drive depending on traffic. Meet the Super Shuttle agent on the baggage claim level. For additional information or if you want to book in advance, visit www.supershuttle.com.

Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI)--We advise taking the "Super Shuttle" van from BWI to your hotel. It costs $37 and $10 for each additional person going to the hotel. It is about an hour drive depending on traffic. Meet the Super Shuttle agent at "Pier C". For additional information or if you want to book in advance, visit www.supershuttle.com.

For those feeling adventurous, a shuttle from BWI airport will take you to an Amtrak train station where you can take the train into Union Station (Washington, DC) and pick up the Metro.  You will need to transfer metro lines in order to reach the Rosslyn Station.  It’s not as complicated as it sounds…

Transportation

Rental cars are available at all of the airports listed above but parking can be difficult in Washington, DC.  We are finalizing transportation from the Key Bridge Marriott to the wedding and should have more information soon. 

The Key Bridge Marriott is within walking distance of the Rosslyn Metro Station (orange and blue line can be accessed here).  For more information regarding the DC Metro System, please visit http://www.wmata.com/.
