TRANSPORTATION & PARKING

  • Arrival by CAR: The Embassy Suites Hotel offers self-parking for $35/day in a garage connected to the hotel.
  • Arrival by RAIL
    • The hotel is located next to the Metro Station King St–Old Town, only two stops away from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). For more information on the Washington DC area Metro click here. For a Metro map, click here.
    • The hotel is located across from Amtrak’s Alexandria Station. Click here for more information on Amtrak.
  • Arrival by PLANE
    • We recommend flying into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and then take the Metro to get to the hotel. Embassy Suites does not offer airport shuttle service.
    • Dulles International Airport (IAD) is 35 miles away, and it would take an hour to reach Alexandria.
    • International travelers are encouraged to also explore flights to Baltimore (BWI), as that can be significantly cheaper than flying into DCA. You can take the Amtrak train directly from the Baltimore airport to Alexandria.
