Every hotel on this list sits within a short taxi or transit ride of Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), and each one was chosen based on door-to-terminal time, shuttle availability, MBTA access, and star rating. Taxi time comes first in the ranking, with shuttle service and transit connections breaking ties. You get a mix of star ratings so budget travelers and full-service guests both find a workable option.
How we ranked these hotels
Shortest taxi time to Logan terminals determined the order. Where two hotels fell within three minutes of each other, the one running a dedicated airport shuttle moved up. Transit time via the MBTA broke further ties, and star rating settled any remaining draws. We cross-checked every address against Boston street geography to confirm the taxi estimates reflect real door-to-terminal travel, not straight-line distance.

Getting to and from Logan: what you need to know
- The MBTA Silver Line SL1 runs free from all Logan terminals to South Station. Inbound from South Station, you pay a standard fare.
- A free Massport shuttle bus connects all terminals to Airport Station on the Blue Line. From Airport Station, downtown Boston is about 10 minutes by train.
- Hotel shuttles at Logan-area properties typically run on a 15-to-30-minute loop. Call ahead during peak travel periods to confirm frequency.
- Rideshare and taxi pickup is from the Central Parking garage, not the terminal curb. Budget an extra 5 minutes to reach the garage on foot or via the terminal connector.
Transit options near Boston Logan International Airport
The Blue Line is the backbone for most hotels on this list. Airport Station sits at the end of a free Massport shuttle loop from all four terminals, and from there you reach Government Center in about 8 minutes and downtown crossings in under 15. The Silver Line SL1 is the better choice if your destination is the Seaport District or South Station, and it costs nothing on the outbound leg from the airport. For hotels in Chelsea and Revere, the MBTA bus network fills the gap where rail doesn't reach directly.
