Travel to D.C.

Attending the ALA Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.? Terrific! It’s easy to get there.

There are two main transportation options between Baltimore and Washington, DC.

  • Amtrak has service to Washington, DC from Penn Station which is about 15 blocks from the hotel. There is a free bus called the Charm City Circulator that runs to Penn Station on the purple line. Amtrak prices can vary from $15-45 from Penn Station to D.C. To book, please visit www.amtrak.com.
  • If you have small carry on style luggage, you might consider the MARC commuter train. They do not allow large luggage. The schedule can be found by going to https://mta.maryland.gov/marc-train. It leaves from Camden station (about 3 blocks from the hotel) or Penn Station (about 15 blocks from hotel, see above). One way is usually $8.

Both MARC and Amtrak depart from Baltimore’s Penn Station.
