Getting There

Sheraton Boston Hotel
39 Dalton Street, Boston, Massachusetts, USA, 02199

Directions

 

By Air
The Sheraton Boston Hotel is conveniently located near Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), just a 15–20-minute drive away.

  • By Public Transport: Take the SL1 (Silver Line) bus from the airport to South Station (free). From South Station, transfer to the MBTA Green Line (E Branch) towards Heath Street and alight at Prudential Station, a short walk from the hotel.
  • By Shuttle Service: Airport shuttles are available; book in advance for door-to-door service.

For more information on airport services, visit the Logan International Airport website.

 

By Tram
Take the Green Line (B, C, or D) to Hynes Convention Center Station. The hotel is a short 3-minute walk from the station. Exit the station, head west along Massachusetts Avenue, and you’ll see the hotel on Dalton Street.

 

By Bus
Several MBTA bus routes stop near the hotel. Use routes 1, 39, or 55 to reach the Hynes Convention Center area. From the bus stop, it’s a quick walk to the hotel on Dalton Street.


Plan your trip using the MBTA website or app for real-time schedules.

 

By Rail
Getting to the Sheraton Boston Hotel by rail is simple and convenient. The hotel is located near major train stations in Boston, making it easily accessible. If arriving via Amtrak, disembark at Back Bay Station, which is just a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Alternatively, you can take a short taxi or rideshare trip. For those travelling on the MBTA Commuter Rail, Back Bay Station also serves as a central hub.


If you arrive at South Station, Boston’s main rail terminal, you can transfer to the Orange Line subway and travel to Back Bay Station in approximately 5 minutes. From there, follow the walking route to the Sheraton Boston Hotel. For added convenience, the hotel is also connected to the Prudential Center, which has easy access points if you’re navigating through the city’s pedestrian pathways.

Be sure to check train schedules and plan your journey ahead. For detailed directions, refer to the MBTA or Amtrak websites.

 

By Car

The Sheraton Boston Hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Boston, at 39 Dalton Street. For the easiest route, we recommend using GPS for real-time directions, ensuring an efficient journey.

When travelling by car, consider that the surrounding area can experience heavy traffic, especially during peak hours. It’s advisable to allow extra time for travel to account for potential delays.


Tip
: Due to Boston's busy streets and ongoing construction, we suggest checking traffic updates and planning your route in advance.

 

Parking

Sheraton Boston offers valet parking at a daily rate of $70. More details can be found on their website here.

We are closely monitoring the official guidance from health authorities, local governments, and the World Health Organization in order to support the health and well-being of our global community. The health and safety of our staff, customers and clients remains our number one priority.

As we continue to move forward with hosting our events in-person in 2025, we’ve added a series of Health & Safety guidelines and precautions in order to prepare for event safety. We carry out risk assessments for all our events to evaluate fundamental considerations and how to cover multiple risk scenarios.

Oxford Global has learned that third-party companies (recently EHotel Services, Business Travel Management/btravelmanagement and Exhibitors Hotel Reservations Services) are targeting conference attendees with a fraudulent hotel booking scheme.

Please note that none of these third-party companies are associated with Oxford Global in any way, nor have Oxford Global authorised them to use their names or trademarks on information they send out to attendees.

If you are contacted by a third-party company by phone or email using Oxford Global’s name or the name of NextGen Omics & Spatial Biology US 2025 and offering accommodation services, we urge exhibitors and attendees to proceed with extreme caution before signing anything sent by these companies or entering into any conversation or replying to any emails sent from these third-party companies.
