Hotel, Transportation, Dallas Attractions

About the Hotel:

Accommodations: Sheraton Suites Market Center Dallas is a lovely, family-friendly and mobility-accessible hotel located near downtown Dallas. Each of its suites boast special touches like separate living areas and bedrooms, microwaves, refrigerators, and 37-inch LCD flat screen televisions. Many of the rooms have balconies with views of the city. The hotel also has both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a fitness center, and business center.

Dining: American cuisine is available on site in the Red Fire Grille Bar & Lounge on the ground floor. There is a wide variety of off-site dining available within walking distance of the hotel.

Parking: Parking at the hotel for those attending the LGDA Patient and Family Conference is included in the discounted rate.

Internet: In-room wi-fi internet access is included in the discounted room rate for conference attendees.

Transportation:

Airports:

There are two major airports serving Dallas—DFW International and Love Field Regional

DFW is 18 miles from the hotel (about 20-25 minutes by car) and is a full-service international airport and US port of entry.

Love Field is 4 ½ miles from the hotel (10 minutes) serviced by Southwest Airlines, Delta, and United Airways.

Trains:

Dallas has a light rail system that is accessible from the hotel and reaches most major attractions. There is not yet direct train service to either airport, so we recommend taking a cab to the hotel. If you plan to be in Dallas for longer than the conference, you may want to consider renting a car. Taking a cab from the airport to the hotel and using DART Rail to see the city is another option.

Car Rental:

Cars can be rented at either airport. Enterprise will arrange to deliver a rental to you at the hotel.
