From Logan airport, there are two main options to get to BU/Kenmore Square:

Taxi:
Take a taxi from Logan to Kenmore Square. Both the Buckminster Hotel and Hotel Commonwealth are in Kenmore Square, with Buckminster on the west side and Hotel Commonwealth on the southeast side.

Public Transit (the T):
The Blue Line is accessible from Logan airport. Take an inbound Blue Line train (towards Bowdoin) until the Government Center stop.  At Government Center, transfer to the Green Line (a free transfer). Take a C Green Line towards Cleveland Circle (do not get on an E or on a train that says “Lechmere”). Take the C Line six stops until the Kenmore Square stop.
