Traveling: 

There are many easy options when traveling to Southbury CT. Southbury is located right off of the major highway called I-84. Please ask the hotel for taxi/car service suggestions. Travel is not included. You are responsible for booking your own travel and getting yourself to the hotel.

From the New York Airport (JFK, LGA, or EWR):
  1. Rental Car: The easiest and most flexible option would be to rent a car at the airport and drive to the hotel. The hotel is located approximately 80 miles from JFK Airport, 85 miles from LaGuardia (LGA), and 85 miles from Newark (EWR). The drive will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic.

  2. Private Car or Taxi: You can also hire a private car or taxi from the airport to take you to the hotel. This can be a more comfortable option than public transportation, but it may be more expensive. You can check online for private car or taxi services in the area.
  3. Public Transportation: If you prefer not to rent a car or hire a private car or taxi, you can take public transportation. However, this option can be a bit more complicated and time-consuming. You can take the AirTrain from JFK or EWR Airport to the subway or train station, then take the train to Southbury, CT. The nearest train station to the hotel is the Waterbury Train Station, which is approximately 10 miles from the hotel. From the train station, you can take a taxi or Uber to the hotel.

If you decide to rent a car, the hotel offers free parking, and you can easily explore the surrounding area. Additionally, if you’re flying into JFK or LGA, you can take advantage of the hotel’s shuttle service for an additional fee. To reserve a spot on the shuttle, be sure to contact the hotel in advance. The shuttle service is not available for EWR.
