GETTING TO THE HOTEL

The hotel is kitty-corner from Philadelphia City Hall! Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is 10 miles south west of the hotel, the estimated taxi fare is $35 one-way (Unnamed competitors to taxis will undoubtedly be less expensive). The train station (Amtrak-PHL) is 1.2 miles west of the hotel and a good option for those coming from D.C., NYC, or Boston areas.

From the airport, the hotel can be reached by SEPTA Regional Rail from any airport terminal via the Airport Line, in approximately 30 minutes, getting off at Suburban Station and walking a couple blocks east to the hotel.

The Amtrak station is just over a mile west of the hotel. From the train station you have a few options. 1) Walk across the river and continue east along JFK Boulevard or Market Street to the hotel (long-ish walk). 2) From within the Amtrak train station (30th Street Station), you can take the Regional Rail for free to Suburban Station and walk a short distance to the hotel (2-3 blocks). 3) Cross the street from 30th Street Station to take the Market-Frankford Line/El to 15th Street, which will take you within 1 block of the hotel.
