The majority of convention hotels are within a 15-minute drive of both the convention centers and Logan International Airport, and within walking distance of major city sights. Boston convention centers are connected to world-class hotels with the Menino Center (formerly the BCEC) connected to the Omni Boston Hotel and adjacent to the Westin Seaport Hotel.

Alternative Options

Consider taking a pedicab as a fun and affordable way to explore Boston or get anywhere in the city. Boston Pedicab offers regular and pre-scheduled tours and rides at a flexible cost. Another great alternative to public transportation is Blue Bikes, Boston’s public bike-sharing system with 1,800 city bikes and 180 bike stations throughout the city, including stations directly outside the Menino Convention Center (formerly the BCEC).

The Menino Center (formerly the BCEC) has 1,300 parking spaces available for attendee parking daily.

To self-park ($25 and $50 for oversized vehicles), from Summer Street, turn onto East Side Drive, drive past the Uber/Lyft/Rideshare pickup and drop-off area, and continue straight along the side of the building. At the end of the building, make a right and go down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, turn left and you will see the entrance to the South Lot parking area in front of you. Accessible parking spaces are also located in this lot, closest to the building (the same parking rates apply).

If you require special parking, such as overnight parking, covered parking, or any other amenity, we recommend looking at Parkopedia which will provide details on what is available at other local garages.

If you require special assistance, please indicate it on the registration form. Further inquiries for scooter/wheelchair rentals can be directed to Scootaround at (888) 441-7575.
