Hotel Accommodations

Boston, MA

The 103rd ASA Annual Meeting will be held at the Sheraton Boston, Marriott Copley Place, the Hilton Back Bay, and the Hynes Convention Center in downtown Boston. The Hynes Convention Center will host the ASA Exhibits, Registration, Bookstore, and Employment Service. The ASA Child Care Service will be housed at the Sheraton Boston. Program sessions and social events will be held at all three hotels.

Blocks of sleeping rooms for ASA meeting attendees have been arranged at the three hotels. All housing services are being managed through, Connections Housing.

BulletStay within the Block [+]  Details

Booking a room in the ASA room blocks is an important way to support the Association and ultimately keep overall meeting costs as low as possible. Staying “within the block” is also more convenient and helps you stay connected with the informal activities and networking opportunities that occur at the co-headquarters hotels during the meeting.

BulletStudent Accommodations [+]  Details

The co-headquarters hotels are unable to offer discounted rates to students. Several options for less expensive housing options for students are shown below. Formal room blocks are not being held at these properties for ASA, so students may make arrangements directly with the facility of their choice. All the properties listed below are on or near the "T" Line, Boston's main transit line. The "T" Line provides convenient access to the co-headquarters hotels and the Hynes Convention Center.

Hostels.
The least expensive way to sleep in Boston, aside from bunking with a friend, is to forego hotel amenities and stay in a hostel or the local Y.
