City Transportation
The Washington, D.C. subway system is called Metro. The Marriott Wardman Park Hotel and Omni Shoreham hotels are located on the Red Line – use Woodley Park/Adams Morgan/National Zoo stop. The Washington Hilton can be reached by exiting the Dupont Circle stop and walking up the hill (north on Connecticut Avenue). Metro hours of operation: * Metro operates seven days a week.
* Rail stations open at 5:30 a.m. on weekdays and 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 7.
* Metro closes at midnight (2:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays).
* When traveling late at night, be sure to check the scheduled departure time for the last train. At many stations, the last train departs before midnight (2:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays) so it is important that you allow enough time to enter the system and board the train. Last train departure times are posted at each station kiosk.
