Corflu 18 will be held at the MidTown Hotel, which is near the intersection of Massachusetts and Huntington Avenues. The hotel is close to the T (Green Line E) and to the MBTA #1 bus down Massachusetts Avenue. The MidTown is also easily reached from other Green Line branches, the Orange Line T, and Back Bay station on AMTRAK and MBTA Commuter Rail. Directions for reaching the hotel by car are included.
The hotel has free parking for guests, but con members not familiar with driving and navigating in downtown Boston will probably find the experience challenging. Local convention members might be able to buddy up with out of towners not travelling by car to take advantage of the parking that comes with their rooms. Some metered parking spaces are available on side streets, and the parking garage under the Prudential Center is a short walk from the MidTown Hotel.
The nearest public transit (T) stop is Symphony, on the Green Line E (Arborway) train route. Hynes Convention Center/ICA (Green Line B, C, and D) and Massachusetts Avenue (Orange Line) stations are within walking distance for people who enjoy walking, or a short cab ride for people who might want to take a taxi. The Route 1 (Massachusetts Avenue) MBTA bus line stops at Huntington Avenue near the hotel.
Back Bay station, on the Orange Line, MBTA Commuter Rail Attleboro/Providence line, and AMTRAK, is somewhat further from the hotel than the Massachusetts Avenue Orange Line station. Some MBTA Commuter Rail routes stop at North Station, which is also a stop on the Green Line. Other Commuter Rail routes stop at South Station: take the Red Line train Inbound and change to the Green Line at Park Street. As noted above, the Symphony stop on the E line is the Green Line stop closest to the Corflu hotel.
The Boston intercity bus line terminal is adjacent to South Station; as with Commuter Rail, take the Red Line Inbound to Park Street and change for the Green Line E (Arborway) car to Symphony. Arriving by Air (Boston)
