During your immersion week in Boston, you will be guests at the Hyatt Centric Fanueuil Hall, a warm and inviting hotel located at 54 Devonshire Street, in the heart of downtown Boston. It is close to the North End, Financial District, and Waterfront, with many restaurants, shops, and activities nearby to enjoy in your time off. From authentic restaurants and shopping to TD Garden and the New England Aquarium, this boutique hotel puts you at the center of the action and makes for a seamless commute to the Fletcher School.

Check out the Hyatt’s Travel Guide, to find nearby attractions, including restaurants, entertainment, and more.

Check-in begins at 4:00 p.m. Please communicate directly with the hotel if you would like to request an early check-in or leave your luggage at the hotel before 4:00pm.

Check-out is at 11:00 a.m. We will have luggage storage available on campus on Friday, September 1, for those traveling to the airport on Friday.

AIRPORT TRANSFER

You are responsible for your transport to/from the hotel, which is about a 30-minute taxi or train ride from the Boston airport. You can also take “The T”, Boston’s public transit system.

“The T” is Boston’s public transit system. At orientation, Fletcher will provide you with a T-pass for the week, which you can use to travel to and from campus on the Green Line. Please keep this card with you at all times.

TRANSPORTATION DURING THE PROGRAM

Public Transportation to Campus: Putting sustainability into practice, this program will use the Boston public transportation system, MBTA, also called “The T”. You will receive a T-pass to travel from the hotel to campus on the Green Line of the Boston T. Please keep your T-pass with you at all times. If you lose your T-pass, a new T-pass can be purchased at most stations, including Government Center, near the hotel.
