Taxis, limos and shuttles all provide service to and from the airport. The estimated taxi fee is $50 one way. Hartsfield-Jackson also has its own train station on the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit System, MARTA. The above-ground station is inside in the main building, between the north and south terminals on the west end; take it to the Dunwoody station, which is an estimated one-tenth of a mile from the hotel. Complimentary shuttle service is available. The estimated subway fee is $2.25.
Interstate highways
Atlanta is a crossroads for many interstate highways in the southern United States. Interstate 75 (north to Canada/south to Miami), Interstate 20 (east to Florence, S.C./west to Kent, Texas) and Interstate 85 (east to Petersburg, Va./west to Montgomery, Ala.) all provide convenient access to Atlanta.
Public Transportation
Atlanta's mass transit system, MARTA, provides bus and rail service in and around Atlanta for a reasonable fare. MARTA's A to Z Route connects visitors with the Georgia Aquarium and Zoo Atlanta. The Peach, or MARTA Route 110, travels from Lenox Square to the Georgia State Capitol with stops at popular locations. Most single one-way fares are $1.75.
MARTA also provides airport transportation. Take the bus, subway or train to the Dunwoody stations; the bus station is one-third of a mile from the hotel, whereas the subway and train stations are only one-tenth of a mile from the hotel. All three offer complimentary shuttle service.
