Getting to the Westin Waterfront from Boston Logan Airport
If you're arriving at Boston Logan Airport, getting here is easy - just hop on a water taxi, tell the dispatcher you're heading to the Westin Seaport, and you'll zip across the Harbor.
You can also take the Silver Line (actually a bus, but technically part of Boston's subway system) directly from Logan to the World Trade Center station. It's very easy and also fun because you get to see the neighborhood once you emerge from the tunnel under the Harbor.
