where to stay

accommodations

Accommodations in the Boston area can be pricey, and depending on when you visit, very hard to find. In particular, please be advised that the months of May and June constitute Commencement season in eastern Massachusetts, so hotels and restaurants are especially busy during that time.

To help you plan your visit to MIT, we have prepared the following list of accomodations. Please note that some hotels are easily accessible by the MBTA subway system.

If you would like further information on accomodations, as well as information about historical tours, restaurants, and shopping in Boston, visit the Greater Boston Convention and Visitors' Bureau website or call them at 617-536-4100.

Please reserve a place BEFORE arriving. MIT does not recommend or guarantee any of the accommodations, but merely provides this list as a reference. The hotels below are listed in order of their proximity to campus.
