3-star option listed among Google Hotels results for the venue; further from the Seaport, so plan a taxi or transit leg.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
taxi
Ride crosses the harbor via the Ted Williams Tunnel into the Seaport District.
subway
South Station is the nearest major transit hub; the venue is a short walk or taxi from there.
parking
On-site and Seaport District garages serve attendees driving to the venue.
taxi
Secondary New England airport listed as an alternate arrival point for Boston-bound attendees.
Weather
Boston in early February is typically cold, with daytime highs around 3°C and overnight lows below freezing; rain or snow is possible on roughly 9 days of the month, so allow extra time for transfers to the Seaport District.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
US mobile networks at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport work on the major national carriers; visitors from abroad should arrange roaming or a US eSIM/local SIM before arrival. Wi-Fi is commonly listed as an amenity at Seaport District hotels such as Hyatt Place and Hampton Inn.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Tipping and payment
Boston follows US tipping norms: 15-20 percent at restaurants and bars, a dollar or two per bag for hotel staff, and card or mobile payment almost everywhere. Hotel folios often add a destination or service fee, so check the bill before checkout.
Dress at a clinical meeting
AF Symposium audiences skew clinical and academic, so business casual with a jacket for speakers is normal. February in Boston means a proper winter coat, gloves and waterproof boots - session rooms and the Seaport walkways between hotels are warm inside but the streets are not.
Question and discussion style
Scientific Q&A in US electrophysiology meetings is direct and time-boxed: state your institution, ask one crisp question, and use the aisle microphones. Speakers are usually held strictly to their slot, so a follow-up conversation in the exhibit area or at a break is often more productive.
Introductions and small talk
Colleagues typically introduce themselves with name, role and institution, and conversations move quickly to trial data, ablation workflow or device selection. Light small talk about Boston - the harbor, the Seaport development, local sports - is welcome but rarely the point.
Getting around the Seaport
The Seaport District is walkable but windy and exposed near the water; the MBTA Red Line at South Station is the nearest major transit hub, with a short walk or cab to the Omni. Ride-hailing is widely used, though harbor-tunnel traffic can stretch a short trip at rush hour.
Winter travel buffers
Snow or ice can delay flights into Boston Logan and slow road traffic through the Ted Williams Tunnel. Build a buffer on arrival day and keep a printed or offline copy of your registration and hotel confirmation in case weather disrupts mobile coverage or schedules.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: BOS
Book flights to BOS when possible for the shortest transfer to the venue; compare MHT only if fares are materially lower.
Foreign attendees generally need either a B-1 temporary business visitor visa or entry under the Visa Waiver Program (WB status); check your nationality against US Department of State guidance before booking.
USCIS lists B-1 as the temporary business visitor category and outlines the separate WB Visa Waiver Program route; verify requirements and any reciprocity fees on travel.state.gov before applying.
OfficialGet to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Boston Logan International (BOS): Typically 15-25 minutes depending on traffic; Manchester-Boston Regional (MHT): Secondary New England airport listed as an alternate arrival point for Boston-bound attendees. Allow road or rail time to Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport: Seaport District: Hyatt Place Boston / Seaport District; Seaport District: The Westin Boston Seaport District; Seaport District: Hampton Inn Boston Seaport District.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Boston; confirm local availability before travel.
Public transit: MBTA subway and bus routes serve the Seaport District; Moovit lists transit options to the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport, and South Station (Red Line) is the nearest major hub with a short walk or taxi to the venue.
Parking: On-site parking is available at Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport; confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: February 2027
Temperature: February averages in Boston run around 3°C daytime highs with overnight lows near -3°C; expect cold, windy conditions near the Seaport waterfront.
Seasonality: February is a cold winter month with rain or snow on roughly 9 days; indoor conference and exhibit-hall time dominates the programme.
Packing: Pack a warm coat, layers, gloves and waterproof footwear for walking between the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport and nearby Seaport District hotels; bring business-casual attire for scientific sessions and the evening reception.

Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at 32nd Annual AF Symposium usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Confirm your registration confirmation email and log in to afsymposium.com to download the programme; flag the AF ablation, mapping and LAA closure sessions you will attend.
Check your institution's CME or travel-approval paperwork if you are claiming credit or reimbursement, and keep the registration receipt filed.
Book a Seaport District room early - The Westin Boston Seaport District (about 140 m from the Omni), Hyatt Place Boston/Seaport District (about 440 m) and Hampton Inn Boston Seaport District (about 500 m) are the walkable cluster, and February availability tightens as the meeting approaches.
Check ESTA or visa status for the United States on travel.state.gov; Visa Waiver Program travellers should have an approved ESTA before booking non-refundable air.
Reserve flights into Boston Logan (BOS) as the primary gateway, or Manchester-Boston Regional (MHT) as a secondary New England option if fares or connections favor it.
Plan the airport-to-venue leg: taxi or rideshare from BOS through the Ted Williams Tunnel runs roughly USD 35-75, and the MBTA Red Line via South Station leaves a short walk or short cab to the Omni.
Decide how you will capture the science - set up a notes app or binder keyed to the trial sessions and ablation technology talks you care about, since slides are usually posted after the meeting.
Pack for early-February Boston: daytime highs near 3 C, overnight sub-zero, and roughly nine days of rain or snow in the month; bring waterproof boots, a warm coat and business-casual layers for session days.
Email or message the device and mapping companies you want to meet on the exhibit floor, and block specific breaks in your schedule for those conversations.
Download any on-demand content the organiser has opened, re-check session room assignments, and confirm your hotel check-in time and late-arrival arrangements.
Arrive in Boston, collect your badge at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport registration desk, walk the exhibit area, and locate the reception space before the opening session.
