Getting to and from the Hynes
- The MBTA Green Line stops at Hynes/ICA on Commonwealth Avenue, one block north of the convention center. The B, C, and D branches all stop there.
- Dalton Street hotels (Sheraton, Hilton) can use the Hynes rear entrance on Dalton Street, which cuts the walk to under two minutes.
- Logan Airport is about 4 miles from Back Bay. The Silver Line from Logan to South Station, then the Red Line to Park Street, then the Green Line to Hynes/ICA takes roughly 45 minutes and costs a few dollars. A rideshare runs 20-35 minutes depending on traffic.
- September in Boston runs 55-70°F during the day. You will not need a heavy coat for the walk between any of these hotels and the venue.
Choosing between the Dalton Street hotels and Newbury Street options
The Sheraton and Hilton share a block on Dalton Street, which dead-ends at the Hynes loading dock. That physical connection makes them the most friction-free choice for attendees who plan to move in and out of the venue multiple times a day. Both have meeting rooms and business centers, which matters if you need a quiet space between sessions. The Mandarin Oriental and Newbury Guest House are on Boylston and Newbury Streets respectively, putting you on the retail and restaurant corridor rather than the convention center's service side. The Mandarin Oriental's Boylston Street address is 776, which is within the same block as the Hynes main entrance at 900 Boylston. The Newbury Guest House at 261 Newbury gives you a quieter, residential-scale street one block south of Commonwealth. The Lenox at 61 Exeter Street is the furthest of the five at 0.22 miles, but Exeter Street runs straight to Boylston, so the walk is a single turn. Guests who prefer an independent hotel with no chain affiliation and the highest guest score on this list will find the extra two minutes worth it.
