Market Data 
- I spent a night in an Amtrak sleeper car’s private bedroom for $1,000 in October 2021.
- With unparalleled privacy and space, it’s the most comfortable Amtrak accommodation I’ve booked yet.
- It made spending 30 hours on a train from Miami to New York City feel luxurious.
I’ve taken all sorts of Amtrak train rides in various classes. In 2021, I finally booked the top option.
On a trip from Miami to New York City, I booked Amtrak’s bedroom accommodation in a sleeper car, which gave me my own moving hotel room for 30 hours.
Private rooms are available on sleeper cars for long-distance train rides, like my trip down the East Coast. At $1,000 for one overnight ride, it was easily the most expensive Amtrak ride I’ve ever booked. (According to a 2024 search for Amtrak bookings, prices range from about $800 to $1,000).
It was also the most comfortable, thanks to the privacy and space it provided. According to Amtrak’s website, bedrooms are at least 45.5 square feet, which, for reference, is a little bigger than a standard king-size bed. They can sleep up to two adults, and mine offered ample space for me as a solo traveler.
