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 the Boston Common and the 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 Motor Mart and Radisson Hotel Parking Garages (201 and 200 Stuart Street). If you choose to continue or 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.
