Parking

Emerson does not have parking facilities and street parking is extremely limited.

The Boston Common Garage is located several blocks from the Emerson campus. The entrance is on Charles Street between Boston Common and Boston Public Garden. Phone: 617-954-2098 or 617-954-2096 (automated information).

The Ritz-Carlton Garage is located less than a block from the Emerson campus. The entrance is on Boylston Street just past the intersection of Tremont Street. Phone: 617-574-7251.

On Stuart Street, you will pass the 200 Stuart Street Garage at the Revere Hotel. The 200 Stuart Street Garage is open 24/7.  For evening Emerson College theatre performances, you can purchase validated reserved parking online prior to your arrival. This validated/discounted parking option is $10 for 5 hours of parking after 3 pm Monday-Friday and any time on the weekends, half off the garage's regular rates.

If you find these garages full, turn left at the next traffic light onto Charles Street. You will pass the Massachusetts Transportation Building and Boston Common Parking Garages on the right. We recommend you park at one of these facilities and walk to the campus.
