Getting to the hotel: Airport and Parking Information

The hotel is located approximately 18 miles from Pittsburgh International Airport. The easiest and local committee recommended way to get from the airport to the hotel is by using a rideshare service. Here is the airport’s page about ground transportation. A subway (called the T in Pittsburgh) station is one block away, and the train and bus depot is about 0.9 miles from the hotel. 

Valet parking, if available, is $44 per night. Oversized vehicle rates are assessed based on vehicle size. Please note that valet availability is not guaranteed and is first-come, first-served. Self-parking options are also available within walking distance of the hotel for a fee. Here’s a map of all downtown parking with rates. All are within a few minutes walk of the hotel. Light Rail (referred to as the T) stations are marked by T on the map, and the light rail is free downtown. So if something is cheaper, but farther and close to a T station, it would be easy to get back and forth.
