Conference 2015 Transportation
Air Travel
Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is the city's primary airport. It is located just under ten miles from the hotel, and is served by all major air carriers. Learn more about the airport at its website.
From the Airport - BWI
Baltimore Hyatt Regency does not provide shuttle service to and from BWI, though they do recommend Super Shuttle. Shuttles leave from BWI every 30 minutes between 6:00 am and 2:00 am. Look for the blue vans with yellow "Super Shuttle" lettering near the ground transportation desk at Baggage Claim 3, 4, and 5. If you require a wheelchair-accessible van, please call 800-258-3826 or visit the Super Shuttle website to reserve service in advance. Wheelchair lifts or ramps will not be available unless reserved in advance.
Attendees traveling by air can also utilize a taxi (estimated fare: $35.00). Please go to the lower level curb of any terminal to get a taxi.
To get to the host hotel from BWI via mass transit:
- Board the Light Rail (200) just outside Terminal E. Fare is $1.60.
- Exit at Convention Center (Pratt St).
- Head east on Pratt St for 0.2 miles (if you are facing your train's direction of travel, east is to the right).
- At S Charles St, make a right. The hotel will be on your left.
These directions take you to the hotel's west entrance which is open during construction on the hotel's lobby. The Light St entrance will be closed.
