PARKING
All of our hotels offer valet parking, but if you’d rather self-park, here are some easy nearby options:
Fairmont Copley Plaza: Back Bay Garage - 500 Boylston St (enter “85 St. James Ave” in GPS)
Westin Copley: Copley Place Garage - 100 Huntington Ave (connects directly to the hotel through the mall)
The Newbury: Boston Common Garage - under the Common, about a 5-minute walk away
*Street parking* is limited around Back Bay and the Public Garden and tends to fill up quickly.
GETTING HERE
BY TRAIN
If traveling from NJ or NY area, you can take Amtrak directly from Penn Station (NYC) to Boston’s Back Bay Station (BBY).
- The Fairmont and the Westin are just a 5 min walk from Back Bay Station.
- The Newbury is a 5-10 min uber from Back Bay Station.
Train Options
Amtrak Acela Express - the fastest option (around 3.5–4 hours from NYC).
Amtrak Northeast Regional - slightly longer, but usually less expensive.
Tip
If your train ends at South Station instead of Back Bay, it’s a quick 8-minute taxi or Uber ride to any of the hotels.
BY AIR
Flying Into Boston (Logan Airport - BOS)
All hotels (Fairmont Copley Plaza, The Westin Copley, and The Newbury) are about a 15–25 min ride from Logan Airport, depending on traffic.
Taxi or Uber/Lyft - Easy to grab from any terminal.
Free Shuttle Option!
Logan Express - Back Bay: A direct bus from every airport terminal to Back Bay Station (5-min walk to the Fairmont and Westin) and quick uber to the Newbury.
Free from the airport → Back Bay, and $3 Back Bay → Airport.
Runs every 20–30 minutes.

Neighborhoods
Back Bay - This is where most of the wedding weekend takes place. Very central, walkable, and full of great restaurants and shopping on Newbury St. The Boston Public Garden and Copley Square are right here
Beacon Hill - Historic neighborhood. Cobblestone streets. Charles Street has tons of cute boutiques, coffee spots, and pubs.
South End - Another charming neighborhood. Young and lively with great brunch and dinner options.
North End (“Little Italy”) - Known Italian restaurants, bakeries, and narrow brick streets. Ideal for a pasta dinner followed by cannoli from Mike’s or Modern pastry.
Seaport District - Boston’s newer waterfront area with great views, rooftop bars, and seafood spots. A nice place for a walk along the water if the weather’s good.
