GETTING TO/FROM WASHINGTON
The Embassy Suites Hotel in Alexandria is across the street from the King Street Metro Station, Yellow or Blue Line.
- Washington(Reagan) National Airport is very close to the hotel and may be reached by a short Metro ride.
- Dulles Airport is about 45 miles west of Washington, and the hotel may be reached via a shuttle to the Metro and then by Metro to the hotel.
- BWI Airport is about 50 miles north of the hotel, and involves a ride on Amtrak from the airport to the Metro, and then by Metro to the hotel.
At minimum, plan on an additional 90 minutes travel time if you are coming to either Dulles or BWI.
