The Hynes Convention Center is located in Downtown Boston and is only four miles away from Logan International Airport. Two major roadways, route 93 and the Massachusetts Turnpike, are also nearby.

Located in the heart of Boston's Back Bay, the Hynes Convention Center is near several hotels, dozens of restaurants, bookstores, and historical sites, and is conveniently accessible by public transportation. For instance, the Hynes Convention Center Subway stop is just one block away. The entrances, at Boyltson street and the prudential Center Plaza, are aligned perpendicularly with Boylston street, which makes it easy for even first time visitors to orient themselves instantly. Escalators and elevators serve the whole building and the entire facility is designed to be fully wheelchair accessible.


Three major hotels - and dozens of boutiques, shops and restaurants are connected by covered walkways to the Hynes Convention Center. While Be hasn't secured rooms at a specific hotel, we do have several worthwhile candidates for you (we recommend shopping around, too). You'll be able to walk to the BeDC from a hotel room at:
