Tips for a smooth arrival
If you prefer a scenic approach and want to avoid road traffic, take the water taxi. If you have a lot of luggage or arrive late, a taxi or rideshare is more direct.
Confirm current water taxi schedules and fares before travel; operator prices and schedules can change. Also check MBTA status if using the subway.
- Confirm water taxi boarding location at Logan via Massport resources or the water taxi operator.
- If you drive, note that underground garage space and valet availability can vary—call ahead if you have special vehicle needs.
- For short local trips during your stay, the hotel's waterfront location makes walking to the New England Aquarium, Faneuil Hall and Long Wharf easy.
| When to choose | Best option |
