Host City/Venue Information

The capital of Massachusetts, Boston is served by one major airport: Boston Logan International Airport. The airport is situated less than five miles from our host venue, AC Hotel Boston Downtown.

AC Hotel Boston Downtown

The AC Hotel Boston Downtown is the base this year for our Botox Training program in Boston. The property has a fantastic location in the heart of the city, but this is just the start of the benefits of this hotel. Guests receive the following amenities:

• Free Wifi
• 24-hour fitness center
• 50-inch TVs and mini fridges in guest rooms
• Onsite convenience store and gift shop
• Onsite restaurant featuring cocktails and tapas/small plates
• Dry cleaning service
• Meeting space for large and small groups

How to Get to the AC Hotel Boston Downtown

Boston is relatively compact and is a famously walkable city. This means if you're not planning on venturing too far beyond the downtown area, it makes sense to stick with a taxi or other ride service from the airport. You can then use Boston's subway or Bluebikes to get around with ease. Yet, if you want the freedom to explore wherever and whenever, rental cars are always an option.

• Exit the airport and follow signs for I-90 West/Ted Williams Tunnel. Enter the tunnel
• Continue on I-90 West for approximately 1.7 miles.
• Take Exit 24-25 for South Boston.
• Keep left at the fork to continue toward I-93 North.
