During your event, we hope you see what sets us apart and makes us among the best meeting and convention destinations in the world.

The Hynes, located in the heart of Boston’s dynamic Back Bay, offers visitors a high-tech, leading edge facility with a flexible floor plan that can accommodate events of all types and sizes.

    BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS RICH IN HISTORY STEPS FROM LUXURY Situated alongside the picturesque Charles River in Boston’s historic Back Bay neighborhood, 607 Boylston Street offers unparalleled convenience and superior access. Famous for its rows of Victorian-era brownstones and architecturally-significant buildings, including the Boston Public Library and Trinity Church, the Back Bay reigns as one of Boston’s premier shopping destinations. Steps from the famed Newbury Street shopping district, the Copley Place shopping center and the Shoppes at the Prudential Center, there is no shortage of luxury retailers in the area. From the Mandarin Oriental to the Taj, ritzy hotels combine with upscale dining to round out the Back Bay’s skyline. In addition to these world-class retail options, the Back Bay boasts an abundance of other amenities. The neighborhood’s location along the Charles River allows for a considerable amount of waterfront property, and the Charles River Esplanade is a popular greenspace for walkers, runners, and cyclists. Boston Public Gardens and Boston Common are practically right next door, giving residents and tourist alike easy access to the city’s most famous parks. The Prudential Center Skywalk Observatory provides one of the best vantage points for soaking in views of Boston, and outdoor concerts can be found at the Hatch Memorial Shell.

The Prudential Center was one of seven Regional Home Offices (RHOs) planned by Prudential in the 1950s to decentralize its management. What began as an effort to reinvigorate the company’s bureaucratic makeup evolved into a prominent building program and urban planning phenomenon, promoting the economic prospects of each RHO city and reshaping the geography of the business district.
