Airports and best ways to arrive
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is the primary airport; drive time is typically around 20–22 minutes depending on traffic. Dallas Love Field (DAL) is closer, often about a 15–20 minute drive.
The hotel does not offer an airport shuttle. Common options are DART rail, rideshare (Uber/Lyft), taxis, or private sedan/van transfers; rideshare is regularly used and convenient for most arrivals.
- From DFW: take DART Orange Line to West End, transfer as needed; the hotel area is one stop past Union Station (use DART GoPass for fares).
- From Love Field: use the Love Link shuttle to Inwood/Love Field Station, then DART lines to the Convention Center/West End area.
- Private transfers and shared shuttles are available; third-party providers quote sedan transfers and shuttle ranges depending on service.

Using DART and local rail
The hotel is a short walk from the Convention Center Station and about a 7-minute walk from Eddie Bernice Johnson (EBJ) Union Station, which serves DART Red and Blue lines plus TRE and Amtrak. A one-way DART ticket is valid for transfers and can be bought through the DART GoPass app.
If you prefer rail from DFW, take the Orange Line to West End and transfer as needed — check DART schedules on the DART website for service updates and exact routing.
- Buy fares in the DART GoPass app; a single ride fare covers transfers within the ticket validity window.
- Convention Center Station places you adjacent to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and within easy walking distance of the hotel sky bridge.
