Ground Transportation & Airport Information

Embassy Suites guests have numerous options for travel to and from the DC region. The hotel is located just five miles from the Capital Beltway, which connects to U.S. 95. The hotel is also only nine miles from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, accessible by Metro. Two additional airports support travel to the region: Baltimore/Washington International Airport and Dulles International Airport, located in Maryland and Virginia respectively. If you travel by rail, you will arrive into downtown Union Station. From there, you can travel by taxi or Metro to the hotel.

The greater Washington, DC metropolitan area is serviced by three airports:

  • Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA):
    Approximately 20-25 minutes via taxi (estimated $24-$30.00 fare).
  • Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD):
    Approximately 45-50 minutes via taxi (estimated $51-$58.00 fare).
  • Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport (BWI):
    Approximately 60 minutes via taxi (estimated $79.00-$85.00 fare).

Taxi and Van Services

Taxi cab service is available at or near the baggage claim areas at all three airports.

SuperShuttle: 1-800-BLUE-VAN (800-258-3826) is available at all airports at the baggage claim levels. No reservations are required.

Reservations are required for pick-up at the hotel for a return trip to the airport. Advanced reservations (at least 48 hours) are required for accessible vehicles.

Public Transportation/Metrorail

The Embassy Suites at Chevy Chase Pavilion isn't just located near the Washington DC metro system - the hotel is literally on top of the Friendship Heights Metro station, one of the popular stations along the system's red line.

If you are taking Metro you should be aware of the following:

  • Metrorail is not ideal if you are traveling with large equipment or luggage.
  • The Embassy Suites Hotel is directly above the Friendship Heights Metro station.
  • For more information on using the METRO system please visit: www.wmata.com.

We look forward to seeing you in Washington!
