Travel
Boston Logan Airport is less than 4 miles from the hotel.
If you are flying into Boston, I would suggest NOT renting a car. Parking in Boston is very expensive, even at the hotel. It is much easier and faster to get around the city using the T subway line.
A few options for getting to the hotel would be:
- Taxi
- Boston Logan Airport Shuttle
- Silver Line to South Station, then Red Line to Charles/MGH Station
- Blue Line to Government Center Station
- Other Shared Van services – Once on page, please click on Shared Van Option, or click on tabs of other options available.
Notes on using the “T” Silver or Blue Line from Logan:
The Silver Line picks you up right outside of each terminal. I have used the Silver Line to/from Logan to/from South Station. As of right now, the Silver Line FROM Logan TO South Station is free. I will keep you up to date if that changes as the reunion nears.
When using the Blue Line, you must take a free shuttle from your terminal to “Airport Station” where you would then pick up the Blue Line. I have never used the Blue Line from Logan.
T fares for the Red Line, Blue Line & Silver Line(from South Station to Logan) are $2.50 each.

Getting Around
There are many great restaurants and points of interest within walking distance from the hotel. To venture out further, the best way to get around Boston is to use the “T” (subway). Our hotel is 2/10 of a mile (5 minute walk) to Charles/MGH Red Line Station and
1/2 mile (10 minute walk) to Government Center Blue Line Station.
Walk to nearest MBTA Red Line (Charles/MGH Station):
Head west on Cambridge. Turn left at Charles. MBTA Red Line will be right there.
Walk to nearest MBTA Blue Line (Government Center Station):
Head east on Cambridge St. Station will be on the north side of the street, just past New Chardon St.
