Complimentary Shuttle Service

During markets, regular shuttle service will operate between AMERICASMART and all official hotels, if provided. Shuttle service is indicated next to each hotel on the hotel reservations online booking page and will be posted in the lobbies of hotels for which shuttle service applies.

Please note that shuttle service will not be provided to Apparel Markets after January 10, 2010.

Airport to Market Transportation

Unless you’re planning weekend excursions to other points outside AMERICASMART, renting a car in Atlanta is not recommended. Parking can be difficult and expensive, and it’s generally easier to utilize the complimentary shuttle service, MARTA, or taxi.

Taxi
The most convenient transportation from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) to AMERICASMART is by taxi, which costs about $30 for one person, one way, not including gratuity. From baggage claim, simply follow the signs to Ground Transportation, on the same level.

Public Transportation - Train
MARTA, Atlanta’s rapid rail system, takes you from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport directly to Peachtree Center Station/ AMERICASMART ATLANTA, as well as to many hotels and attractions throughout the city, including Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead and Dunwoody. Cost is $1.75 per ride, or you may purchase a visitor’s pass for unlimited rides for the duration of your stay. Visitor’s passes can be purchased in advance by calling MARTA at 404.848.5501.

The MARTA is located near other ground transportation services at the Airport. From the Airport look for the MARTA sign and take the northbound train headed to either North Springs (right side of platform) or Doraville (left side of platform); get off at Peachtree Center Station.

Shuttle Service
A more economical option is the Atlanta Link. The cost is $16.50 per person one-way, and $25 round-trip. You don’t need a reservation for the Atlanta Link. From baggage claim, simply follow the signs to Ground Transportation, on the same level.
