Tips for staying near Massachusetts Institute of Technology

  • Campus events such as lectures, conferences and graduation fill Cambridge quickly. If your visit coincides with one, reserve your room well ahead and confirm your dates before the listings you wanted are taken.
  • An early flight into the area is easier to manage if you tell your hotel your expected arrival time in advance, especially for the apartment-style stays where check-in arrangements are made directly with the host.
  • If you are driving, note that several of the Cambridge properties offer parking, while others do not, so pick the hotel whose facilities match your plans before you set out.
  • Weekday mornings around the university are busy with students and staff; allow a little extra time on foot if you are heading to a scheduled seminar or meeting.
  • For a stay that mixes campus visits with the rest of Cambridge, choose a hotel a short walk from the institute and plan your other outings around the same neighbourhood.
