About this Location

Facility Overview

The 100 Cambridge Street Parking Facility is a 405-space, two-level subterranean parking garage nestled directly beneath the 22-story Leverett Saltonstall Building at 100 Cambridge Street. Positioned right where historic Beacon Hill converges with Government Center and the West End, this modern underground facility provides dependable, fully covered parking in one of Boston's highest-density commercial and civic districts. The facility operates as a clean, professionally managed self-park and valet-assist garage, meaning that during high-occupancy business hours attendants may safely park and stage vehicles using a secure multi-part key claim system.

Vehicle clearance is strictly posted at 6 feet 9 inches (6'9"). This vertical restriction comfortably accommodates standard passenger cars, midsize crossovers, standard minivans, and low-profile full-size SUVs. However, lifted pickup trucks, commercial cargo vans, high-roof passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with high roof carriers or bicycle racks cannot clear the garage entryway and must seek open-air or oversized commercial facilities nearby.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Serving as a strategic gateway to downtown Boston, the 100 Cambridge Street garage places drivers within comfortable walking distance of premier sports venues, historic landmarks, civic buildings, and medical centers:

TD Garden: An easy 8 to 10-minute walk (0.4 miles) north, making this garage a preferred parking alternative for Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins games, as well as headliner arena concerts, without having to fight the gridlock directly next to the arena.
Massachusetts State House & Beacon Hill: Located just 5 to 7 minutes (0.3 miles) uphill via Somerset and Bowdoin Streets, offering immediate access to the historic State Capitol and the scenic gaslamp-lit streets of Beacon Hill.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Street access into the garage is situated on Somerset Street just off Cambridge Street (drivers navigating via GPS should set their destinations to 20 Somerset Street, Boston, MA 02108 for direct alignment with the garage ramps). Cambridge Street functions as a major downtown traffic artery, connecting swiftly to Storrow Drive to the west and Surface Road / Interstate 93 to the east.

Drivers looking to transfer to Boston's comprehensive public transit network will find exceptional connectivity. The Bowdoin MBTA Station (Blue Line) sits directly opposite the building. Government Center Station (Green and Blue Lines) is less than a five-minute walk, and North Station (Commuter Rail, Amtrak, Orange, and Green Lines) is under a 10-minute walk away, allowing visitors to easily leave their vehicle parked while commuting across greater Boston.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because Somerset Street is a narrow one-way connector on the slope of Beacon Hill, drivers should approach by turning onto Somerset directly from Cambridge Street. When visiting during high-volume sports tournaments or sell-out concerts at TD Garden, arrive at least 60 to 75 minutes prior to game time to avoid queuing on Cambridge Street. Because the garage utilizes valet-assist operations during high-occupancy hours, be prepared to leave your vehicle key with the attendant and keep your claim ticket safely stored in your wallet. If you plan to attend an evening show or weekend event, check for flat evening and weekend rates, or pre-purchase an online parking reservation through mobile parking apps to lock in space availability before you leave home.
