The hotel partners and booking links below are the ONLY official booking links for SLAS2026 hotels. SLAS and its partners will never solicit bookings directly from attendees or exhibitors.
SLAS has negotiated discounted rates at the hotels listed below. The hotel rates include a rebate to SLAS to help offset the costs of the Convention Center rental which helps to keep registration costs down. By using the SLAS group discount site or code, you will receive rates that are below standard guest rates quoted at the hotels. These are the only authorized booking links for accommodation related to SLAS2026.
All hotels are adjacent to or within walking distance of the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (BCEC).

Additional Parking Driving Directions
SLAS2026 has negotiated special rates and benefits for conference attendees at Boston’s premier convention center hotels.
Not only are these hotels conveniently located near the convention center, but SLAS2026 attendees benefit in several other ways:
By staying in the SLAS block of guest rooms, SLAS is able to contract premier facilities such as the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. Additionally, you are helping the Society meet its contractual obligations to the hotels, avoid penalties, and help to underwrite the cost of convention center rental, therefore keeping conference registration fees as affordable as possible. Your support in booking your room within the SLAS2026 room block is greatly appreciated.
Please be aware that exhibitors often are solicited by unaffiliated hotels or third-party housing agencies to book hotel reservations. SLAS2026 official hotels will not solicit you to make a reservation. While other hotel resellers may contact you offering housing for your trip, they are not endorsed by or affiliated with the SLAS event. Beware that entering into financial agreements with non-endorsed companies can have costly consequences. When SLAS is notified of these solicitations, we immediately demand a cease and desist of such practices.
Some companies to watch out for include:
Please report any unauthorized solicitations to Diana Lopez immediately.
These groups often advertise a lower rate than is promoted by SLAS for the official SLAS2026 hotels. In some circumstances these reservations have non-refundable or pre-payment requirements and harsh and unforgiving cancellation policies. In some cases, reservations do not even exist at the time of check-in at the booked hotel. For these reasons, and to support SLAS official partners, which helps to ensure a quality experience, we encourage you to book your reservations through the processes outlined on this website.
