MIT Hotel Directory

The Travel Office has updated discount arrangements with hotels for 2008 in the general area and one with Club Quarters. You will also find a link for Academic Ambassadors www.academicambassadors.com. This service was specifically created to provide discounted hotel rates for academic (and other non-profit) travelers.

MIT is a member of Club Quarters - private, full service, downtown hotel concept for the exclusive use of member organizations. The membership arrangement allows for significant savings (both business and personal with no blackout dates) at locations in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, London, San Francisco, Houston, Chicago and Washington DC. Club Quarters will continue to subsidize rates for MIT employees, their friends and families on weekends and holiday periods with rates starting at $56 upon request and subject to availability. There is an additional charge for a 2nd and 3rd person. MIT guests earn a free “Night on the House” certificate each and every business stay valid after the second stay. These certificates can be used for a complimentary stay for two on select dates. There is a small handling charge. Corporate apartments with full hotel services are available in all Club Quarters. Please see www.clubquarters.com for more information. Use password: MIT.

You should always check with the hotel to see if there is a promotional rate that is lower than the MIT rate. To obtain the MIT rate, it is necessary to request it when reserving the room, unless noted differently on the guide. View the site periodically for changes or additions.

The travel directory lists government rates wherever applicable, for those departments and laboratories that may have visitors from the U.S. government. Some hotels may only offer the government rate during their slow season. To obtain these rates, the visitors must present their government identification upon registering.

Group rates may vary. Please check with the hotel sales office. Blackout dates at some hotels may apply. They are listed on the directory.

The hotels keep records of Institute-related business placed with them, and volume will be the key to future negotiations. It is important to notify potential visitors to your respective departments and travelers visiting key cities included in the directory of the availability of these rates, and to use them when staying at these hotels.
