Hotel Information for Tango Visitors for Tango Society of Boston Workshops and Other Events

All Tango Society of Boston events are held at the DANCE UNION,  16 Bow Street, 2FL, Somerville (Union Square), Massachusetts, off Exit 28 from Interstate Fwy 93, across the street from Bloc 11 Cafe. Fortunately, there are a couple of hotels within walking distance nearby (see Below), and the Union Square bus stop departing to and from the Red Line (Davis Sq & Harvard Square), Orange Line (Sullivan Sq) and Green Line (Cleveland Circle) are no more than 1 and a half blocks away and all of them run past midnight beyond the end of most of our events.  For your convenience we have listed several additional hotel options (listed below roughly by increasing distance from Union Square):
