Where to Stay When Visiting American Tower (Boston)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

American Tower's headquarters is in Boston. Boston's core runs on the T; the 128 and 495 belts run on cars. Which one your campus is in decides the trip.

Direct answer: Visiting American Tower's HQ in Boston (116 Huntington Ave): stay in the Back Bay area near the office. Stay in Back Bay near Copley Square, close to American Tower — the hotels cluster around Copley and the Prudential Center, walkable to the offices and the T. You won't need a car in this part of Boston. Boston Logan (BOS) is about 15 minutes from Back Bay via the Ted Williams Tunnel — the airport for the city. The Green and Orange lines serve Back Bay, though a cab from Logan is often simplest. Manchester (MHT) and Providence (PVD) are far-flung budget options.

American Tower is a global owner and operator of wireless communications towers (a REIT), headquartered at 116 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02116. That's Back Bay — Boston's elegant Copley Square district along Boylston and Newbury, home to Liberty Mutual, Wayfair, American Tower, and Eversource, dense with hotels and on the T.
