Reagan Washington National Airport is just 4 miles away from the hotel. The blue and yellow lines of the DC metro run directly from the airport to the King Street - Old Town Station, which is located across the street from the conference hotel.

The Alexandria train station is about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The station is served by both Amtrak and Virginia Railway Express.
It is also possible to arrive by Amtrak at Washington's Union Station, then travel by DC metro to the hotel. This would require you to transfer from the red line to the blue or yellow lines, which run to King Street - Old Town Station, which is located across the street from the conference hotel.
If you are traveling by private vehicle, parking is available at the hotel; the cost will be covered by conference organizers.
