Washington DC Metro Access

Staying at a hotel on the Washington DC Metro system gives you access to the cleanest, most convenient and least expensive way to travel in the DC area. Embassy Suites at the Chevy Chase Pavilion is located at the Friendship Heights station on the Metro’s red line, a major artery into the heart of the city.

Metro “opens doors” throughout the DC metropolitan area by maintaining 86 stations and providing coverage of 1500 square miles. The District’s most popular destinations, from the National Zoo to the Smithsonian, are all Metro-accessible. Trains run from 5 a.m. until late into the night, providing an alternative to expensive taxi rides to that early breakfast meeting or drinks at a trendy nightspot.

Embassy Suites’ location on the Washington DC Metro makes it all the more useful to travelers arriving by air or rail. The Metro system places Washington-area travel hubs at your fingertips with stops at Reagan National Airport and the historic Union Station, the central location for the Amtrak terminal and several commuter rail lines.

Metrorail passes can be purchased at all Metro stations or ahead of time at the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Website. Depending on the length of your stay and number of people in your group, discounted fares are available. The Metro is family-friendly with elevators to assist with strollers and free rides for up to two children under the age of four.
