Why stay at the conference hotel?
The staff at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown is excited to welcome Drosophilists back to this centrally located hotel in the heart of City Center, which offers comfortable, updated rooms and convenient amenities.
Easily accessible from Philadelphia International Airport, attendees can reach the hotel via taxi, rideshare, or public transit using SEPTA. Once there, you’ll find yourself within walking distance of key attractions and practical dining options, including the ever-popular Reading Terminal Market—a great spot for affordable meals between sessions.
The surrounding area offers a mix of historic sites, green spaces, and walkable streets, making it easy to explore Philadelphia on a limited budget. Dining options for all tastes and budgets along with grocery stores for stocking up on essentials, are steps away from the hotel.
Be sure to join Marriott Bonvoy to take advantage of member benefits like complimentary in-room WiFi.
