Hostelling International: A New Boston Hostel

A world-class city deserves a world-class hostel as a model of environmental sustainability, intercultural exchange and responsible travel. A quality facility will create a lasting, positive impression of Boston for business and leisure travelers from all over the globe.

The youth travel market is one of todays fastest growing industries, redoubling the need for safe, affordable lodging.

HI-USA was proud to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Boston Hostel in 2008. However, the 205-bed hostel no longer meets demand, especially during the spring, fall and summer seasons.

· A larger facility is necessary to reach the need for 375 beds (currently 205 beds) to serve 45,000 guests annually.

· Additional hostel guests to the city will increase direct expenditures of $16 million annually.

· A new hostel will provide handicap-accessibility and greater energy efficiency.
