GETTING to the MARRIOTT MARQUIS 265 Peachtree Center Avenue | Atlanta, GA 30303 GETTING TO THE MARRIOTT MARQUIS 265 Peachtree Center Avenue | Atlanta, GA 30303 Transportation from Hartsfield Jackson Airport Taxis, shared shuttle services, rental cars and a subway train are options for travel between the Atlanta airport and the Marriott Marquis Hotel in downtown Atlanta. MARTA – Atlanta’s rapid rail system MARTA is the easiest, fastest and most cost-effective way to travel between the Atlanta airport and the Marriott Marquis hotel. You don’t even have to walk outside between your plane and the registration desk. The airport MARTA station is located in the ground transportation area, near baggage claim. No cash or tokens are accepted at the MARTA turnstiles. Your “ticket” is a Breeze Card -- an electronic card that you purchase from a vending machine or MARTA ticket kiosk. Load cash value onto the card at time of purchase for anticipated trips. The one-way fare is $2.50. Round trip: $5.00. Tap your Breeze card at the turnstile to enter the station. The train platform is at the top of the escalators. Both trains that depart from the airport (the Gold line to Doraville, and the Red line to North Springs) travel north through downtown, and reach your destination – Peachtree Center Station – in 17 minutes. Trains run every 10 minutes on weekdays and every 20 minutes on weekends. Please remember to place your luggage under your seat or in the designated luggage areas. Once at the station, follow the signs to the Harris Street exit after getting off the train, and then to Peachtree Street East. At street level, turn right to walk north along Peachtree Street. Turn right again at the first intersection on Harris Street, then left at the next block on Peachtree Center Avenue. If you don’t want to walk outside, you can also exit the station into the Peachtree Center mall, where there’s a sky bridge connection. Turn left after Caribou Coffee and right at the ATM. Follow signs to the Marriott. Approximate walking time from the fare gate is three minutes. To return to the airport, take any Southbound train from Peachtree Center Station to the last stop on the rail line. MARTA map Rental Cars The busiest airport in the world has a massive automobile rental center that is connected to the main terminal by train. Follow signs to the new off-site Car Rental Center. Taxis and SuperShuttle A taxi from the Atlanta airport to the Marriott is approximately $32, one-way. During rush hours, traffic can cause significant delays. Super Shuttle also provides shared-ride van service from the airport to downtown hotels. The charge is $18.50 per person one-way, and $33 round trip. Shuttles leave the airport every 15 minutes. Advance reservations are required. Call 800.BLUE-VAN (800-258-3826) for reservations or questions. Or, book online at http://groups.supershuttle.com/megaconference.html to receive a special $4 per person discount. The SuperShuttle ticket counter is located in the south baggage claim area. Uber and Lyft are also available in Atlanta. UberX quotes less than $20 for one-way travel. Driving to the Marriott Marquis Follow this link to get door-to-door driving directions to the Atlanta Marriott Marquis: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/maps/travel/atlmq-atlanta-marriott-marquis/ Hotel Parking The Marriott Marquis provides valet parking for hotel guests and meeting attendees.
