GETTING TO THE EVENT

We strongly encourage all Fools to take advantage of public transportation options for this event. The Westin Hotel is conveniently located just a short distance from the King Street Metro and several bus lines. You can take the easy, 1/2 mile (10 minutes) walk through the pedestrian underpass to get to the hotel from the Metro. More information on navigating the Metro can be found on the WMATA website here: www.wmata.com

 

METRO DIRECTIONS

Take the Metro to the King Street stop. When you exit the Metro station, leave via the front entrance and walk to the right. Take the sidewalk to the pedestrian tunnel, which goes beneath Duke St. and onto Dulaney St. After you exit the tunnel, walk down Dulaney Street toward Jamieson Avenue. Then, take a right on Jamieson Avenue and walk a short distance until you see The Westin Hotel on your left. 

 

HOTEL PARKING

If you’re staying at The Westin Hotel, the venue can accommodate guest parking at a rate of $26/day for valet only. More information on that option can be found on the hotel’s website here: www.westinalexandria.com 

 

For all others staying at another location or for local parkers, we suggest looking for area parking options ahead of time as space and availability are limited.
