Travel A MARTA train (metro Atlanta 's public transportation) runs from the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL) past the Georgia Tech campus. It is a convenient alternative to renting a car (especially since parking is rather limited on campus). From the MARTA stations, you may go to the both hotels by walking (5-15 minutes), riding a campus shuttle, or hiring a taxi.
Shuttle service from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport to the hotel is also available. The Atlanta Link picks up at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center at :15 and :45 past the hour, every hour from 6:00 am – 1:00 am, 7 days a week. All service after 7:00 pm requires advance reservations. Reservations can be made for pick up or drop off at the Holiday Inn Express. For information, tickets, prices, or reservations please click here.
The Workshop location, the Manufacturing Research Center (MARC) Building, is a 10-15 minute walk from both hotels. The MARC Building is located at: 813 Ferst Drive, Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0560.
