A unique region full of interesting, affordable meeting venues an easy commute from Boston.
With 44 hotels and over 200,000 square feet of meeting space—including a trade center and several large conference hotels—MetroWest Boston has all of the traditional meeting space you could need. But we also have venues that make your conference something entirely more memorable…from museums to historic properties to amusement parks. These spaces offer meeting planners the ability to hold events in a unique environment that spurs original thinking, creative problem solving, strong team building, and more, creating a conference that is not only productive, but unforgettable.
MetroWest Boston’s region is equidistant from Boston’s, Worcester’s, and Providence’s airports; the region is just a half hour from Boston but costs a fraction of big city prices. MetroWest has the lowest average hotel room rate of any region in Massachusetts, at just $136 per night with free parking, compared to Boston’s average rate of $357/night with parking, making this region an affordable location for meetings, conferences, and conventions. With a variety of transportation options, including trains, buses and airport shuttles, getting to the region is easy as well.
Our conference hotels offer 7,500 to 67,500 square feet of event space each, plus all the amenities you need for your event, from state-of-the-art business centers to high-speed WiFi, onsite catering to impeccable service. But the region has a lot more to offer than just traditional hotel meeting space. Consider staying in MetroWest but holding your conference at the American Heritage Museum, with 26,000 square feet of space including a hangar full of antique planes, or maybe at the Wayside Inn, the oldest inn in America with 11 meeting rooms and onsite catering, or perhaps at Hopkinton Center for the Arts with over 6,000 square feet of theater and gallery space plus a beautiful outdoor amphitheater. Explore these and 24 other offsite venues for your next meeting in MetroWest.
