Ideal for two customers, Amtrak Roomettes offer comfortable seating by day, and at night, the chairs convert into a comfortable bed with a drop-down bunk directly above. Both are complete with bed linens, pillows, temperature controls, lights, and bedside storage nooks.
The price includes fresh linen and towel service, complimentary bottled water, and access to Amtrak ClubAcela and Metropolitan Lounges at select stations.
Roomettes offer space for small carry-on bags and a large suitcase in a storage area in the lower level, electrical outlets, huge double-decker windows, and a fold-down table.
A dedicated train attendant will book meal reservations, make and take down the beds, assist with luggage, tell customers when their stop is close and even share great stories of life on the rails.
While traveling, customers can move around the train, visit the lounge car for beverages or snacks, as well as the benefit of relaxing in the comfort of their private room. On Amtrak trains, travelers can experience some of the best views and sightseeing opportunities in the United States.
Customers will be able to take advantage of the low prices from the sale and book travel across the national network with sleeping accommodations on trains including the California Zephyr, Capitol Limited, Cardinal, City of New Orleans, Coast Starlight, Crescent, Empire Builder, Lake Shore Limited, Silver Star, Silver Meteor, Southwest Chief, Sunset Limited and Texas Eagle.
There are no blackout dates. The sale is not valid on the Auto Train. The companion traveling with the customer must stay in the same roomette. Other terms and conditions apply.
