Taxi Tips from the Concierge

Taxi service from our hotel is extremely busy

and you should usually anticipate a wait

especially between the hours of 4 PM to 8:30

PM and double the wait when it rains. There

will be lines and limited taxis. The wait can

be well over 20 minutes. We recommend that

you factor the wait into your travel time. The

doorman and concierge are not able to

reserve taxi pick-ups. Taxi companies will not

send cars to establishments with taxi stands.

If you would like to ensure transportation at

a specific time, please see the Concierge to

reserve limousine or sedan service. Concierge
