Have we mentioned how delighted we are that so many of you are coming to Boston for the 38th Annual ARLIS/NA Conference? Well, we are. And if you have not gotten a room at the Seaport Hotel, don't let that stop you from making your arrangements to join us. There are many other options. I've compiled some of them for you-see below. I will also post these on the website.
I've thrown this together rather hurriedly so if you find any mistakes or learn that these are booking up, please let me know. As of this morning they all still had availability according to their websites.
One other thing to note: more rooms may come available at the Seaport--they are reserved for another group. We will not have any information about this until next week.
Boston Hotels
Below are some other hotels in Boston that are either located within 1 mile of the World Trade Center or are on the Silver Line or Red Line of the T. All are typically below $250/night. The World Trade Center is located on the Silver Line (SL1 or SL2), which connects to the Red Line at South Station. All other lines connect to the Red Line, so staying at any hotel near the T will also work. Staying near the Silver or Red Line is most convenient, if you are not within walking distance. I'm assuming most people will not have a car. To see a map of the mbta and how all T lines are connected: http://mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/subway/
