Driving
If you are arriving by car, we recommend using Google Maps or your preferred navigation app for the best driving routes to the hotel. Congress Check-in will be located inside the main lobby area.
Rideshare from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)
The Main Hotel is located about 16 miles from Boston Logan International Airport. Please note that the hotel does not provide a dedicated airport shuttle service.
Taking a rideshare (e.g., Uber/Lyft) directly from the airport to the hotel is typically the most convenient option. The drive takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic.
To help attendees coordinate and reduce rideshare travel costs, we have setup a dedicated carpooling channel on the Congress Discord server. We highly encourage you to join the Discord beforehand to connect with others arriving around the same time. This allows you to ‘self-group’ and split the fare 3 or 4 ways. Those grouped together will determine how to divide the cost.
