Conference Hotel: Hyatt Place 116 Riverside Ave, Medford, MA, 02155, USA
From Logan Airport
Public transit/Uber. The easiest way is to get to the hotel is to take an Uber/Lyft from Logan Airport. It is an ~8 mile trip that costs between $15-23 and will take about 13 min during non-traffic hours (or about 5 hrs during traffic hours—welcome to Boston).
Medford is a bit away from downtown Boston so if you are headed into the city first for fun and wish to take public transportation from Downtown Boston, you can take the Silver line bus (free) from any terminal to South Station. The Red Line subway has a stop at South Station or it is an easy walk to many parts of downtown Boston. From within the city, you can take either the Red line train to Davis Sq (heading towards Alewife), or the Green line (E line) to the Tufts/Medford station. From the Green line, it is a 30 min walk to the hotel or a short Uber. The hotel shuttle will pick you up if you call ahead. From the Red line, you can either take a short Uber or take the 96 bus (you can map it at www.mbta.com).
