Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) and Dulles International Airport (IAD) are also located in the greater Washington, D.C. area. BWI is approximately a 40-60 minute drive from the Mayflower Hotel. While ubers or cabs are recommended, those flying into BWI can also take the MARC train or Amtrak to Union Station in Washington, D.C. IAD is approximately a 30-50 minute drive, depending on traffic. IAD is also serviced by the silver line on the metro.
Travel Note
Unless you plan to explore the DC suburbs or Virginia wine country, renting a car in DC is not necessary. You can get around fairly easily using ride sharing apps or public transit.
