A base for Navy Yard events

The venues are walkable, but the route can involve crossing major roads. Check the route before setting out, especially if traveling with children or anyone who may find the walk difficult. Alternative transport may be a better fit.

The expansive lobby has multiple seating areas and charging points. Its Bistro and Starbucks give you options on site, while a market sells snacks and drinks. A lobby table is set aside for food-delivery pickups, and an outdoor fire pit provides a place to sit in warm weather.
Getting into Center City
The Navy Yard transport app connects the area with Center City. For that trip, choose the City Center Express, abbreviated CCE, rather than the Loop. The shuttle drops passengers near Market Street, from where historic sites and museums are walkable. Check the schedule before relying on the connection.
Dining close to the hotel is limited, with fewer nearby options on weekends. Check whether the Bistro is serving what you want, and arrange meals ahead if you prefer not to depend on its availability.
Parking and arrival
The hotel has a paid parking lot, reported at $30 per night. Free street parking may be available, but it is not guaranteed, so confirm the arrangement that works for your visit, especially during an event. Travelers with larger vehicles have also found parking that accommodated them.
If you need a quiet room, ask about an upper-floor corner room when booking. Contact the hotel directly about early check-in; do not assume a room will be ready before the usual arrival time.
