Travel Recommendations:
FLYING. The closest airport is Reagan National Airport (DCA). Access to the Arlington Hilton (950 North Stafford, Arlington, VA) from the airport is easy. There are two options:
1. Metro: Blue Line to Rosslyn, then Metro Orange or Silver Line to Ballston. Ride time approx. 20 minutes, $4-$5.
2. Uber: Ride time approx. 11 minutes, $10-$16.
DRIVING. You will find an entrance to a public parking garage next to the hotel entrance. Parking for up to 12 hours is $10, and overnight is $20. Because the hotel does not provide parking, there is no valet available. However, access to the hotel entrance is direct from the public parking garage. If you are amenable to walking about three blocks, there is another public parking garage at 627 N. Glebe Road that is $10 for overnight parking.
TRAIN: From Union Station in Washington, D.C., take the Metro Red Line to Metro Center and then the Orange or Silver Line directly to the Ballston Station and the hotel. About $3.
