Hynes Convention Center

About

The John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center is a major convention venue in the heart of Back Bay. It offers 176,480 square feet of exhibit space across four halls that can be used in any combination, a multipurpose auditorium seating more than 4,000 with a built-in balcony, 38 meeting rooms and a 24,544-square-foot column-free ballroom that divides into three smaller spaces. All meeting rooms are less than three minutes from the exhibit areas.

The building connects directly to more than 3,100 hotel rooms and two shopping destinations with about 200 shops and restaurants, all under one roof; the 3-2-1 Connect package bundles three hotels, two shopping destinations and the convention center. Levy Restaurants handles food service, customizing menus for events from 10 to 10,000 guests. The Hynes is about 4.6 miles from Logan Airport, with Back Bay Logan Express shuttle service.
