Travel, Parking, and Transportation
For those arriving by air, Baltimore’s Thurgood Marshall Airport is a Southwest Hub, although it is served by all major airports. Amtrak and light rail connect the airport to downtown with stops not too far from the hotel. Cabs are available but expensive. See here for options to get from the airport to the hotel—24 West Franklin Street—and back.
From Penn Station, you can take the free Charm City Circulator Purple Line southbound to the Centre Street stop or Light Rail to the Centre Street or Lexington Market stop followed by a short walk to the hotel at 24 West Franklin Street. (https://www.mta.maryland.gov/schedule/stops/lightrail )
Parking. There is a city parking garage across the street from the hotel, and parking is $13.00 a day. Hotel residents have reserved spaces. Others may encounter a full garage, and street parking is expensive and limited to two hours, but there are several other parking garages within a few blocks of the Hotel Indigo—at 24 West Franklin Street—see here.
Parking Update as of 10/12/21: Hotel Indigo staff assure us that there should be plenty of available parking during the day in the garage at 24 Franklin Street across the street from the hotel.
We encourage people in the Northeast Corridor to take Amtrak to Baltimore’s Penn Station, which is easily connected to the hotel by public transportation or the Charm City Circulator, or by MARC from Washington to either Penn Station or the Brunswick Line.
Metro/Light rail. Pennsylvania Avenue is served by Baltimore’s Metrolink Subway stations from Lexington Market on the south end to Penn-North on the north end: https://www.mta.maryland.gov/schedule/metrosubway .
