Marriott Bethesda is in a walkable area of downtown Bethesda and a great spot to stay if you're looking to add some DC exploration to your weekend. The Metro is a short walk from this hotel.

Embassy Suites is about 5 minutes closer to our venue and offers a two-room suite with a king-sized bed that features a living room and sofa bed. It is a short drive to restaurants and shops.

If you are staying at Marriott Bethesda you can take the Metro to and from DCA and IAD.

We do not recommend taking the Metro from BWI.

If you are staying at Embassy Suites we recommend ubering from the airport.

Metro stops are located directly in DCA and IAD and require one train transfer at METRO CENTER to get to Bethesda. Buy tickets in-person, or use the WMATA (DC Metro and Bus) mobile app. For help planning a metro ride please visit:
