Question

How do I get to the Wainwright Hotel?

Answer

To get to the Wainwright Hotel, drive west on Heritage Drive past the large "H". Follow the road across the trolley tracks, around to the right, and continue until you are at the big black security gate beside the clock tower. Stop at the gate and check in with security - tell them you are here for the van der Poll and Zucht wedding at the Wainwright Hotel. They will either talk to you are just wave you in. Take the road straight up the hill and drive past the red brick building on your right. Take the road across the train tracks and to the right so there is a wooden boardwalk on your left. Follow this road into the town. The Hotel is the large building on the left. You may park perpendicular to the boardwalk surrounding the hotel. This can also be accessed the same way with a taxi/Uber.
