7 km (4.3 mi) to Logan International Airport (BOS). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.
At 2.7 km (1.7 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Boston has 182 venues mapped in total and a population of 673,458. The Boston guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
