Accommodations

There are no hotel room blocks reserved for the Members Meeting, but there are many hotels in the Boston/Cambridge area that provide easy access to the meeting venue. Plan to book early to secure the most favorable rates.

Many hotels and bed and breakfasts in Boston and Cambridge are accessible by the MBTA subway system. We provide a list below of the hotels nearest to campus and also a map of hotels in the greater area. Please note that ISBM / MIT does not guarantee any of these accommodations—this information is provided for reference only.

Parking at or around MIT Sloan is not readily available.  If you are driving to the meeting, it is best to plan to park at your hotel or you can park in one of the city parking areas.  You can view the list of  Cambridge parking areas here as well as get information about other transit options.  Uber, Lyft, and taxi’s are readily available from most locations in Cambridge, and they will be able to drop you directly in front of the main entrance to Sloan where there is a circular drop off location.
