View Larger Map - includes list of all hotels

The following is a listing of hotels that you can consider when looking for accommodations for the 2007 iGEM Jamboree. Some of the hotels specifically have room blocks for iGEM participants. Most of these are a little bit further away from MIT but we are planning on providing transportation in the the form of shuttle buses. Other hotels are closer to campus but are more expensive. Also check out the MIT list of local temporary housing.

We recommend booking your room as soon as possible. See the schedule for more information. Remember that this year there will be several additional sessions in the days following the Jamboree. Keep this in mind when planning your trip.


Notes:
We recommend housing at least 3 students per room.

All iGEM Block rooms are available on a first-come, first-serve basis so it is recommended that you make your reservations early.

The Jamboree will take place at:
MIT- Stata Center
32 Vassar St.
Cambridge, MA 02139
