Hyannis
Referred to by locals as the capital of the Cape, Hyannis is the commercial and transportation hub of Cape Cod. Home to the peninsula's primary airport and a working harbor, the community also boasts the highest concentration of businesses, shops, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment on the Cape. Hyannis event venues include the JFK Hyannis Museum, where native son President John F. Kennedy is honored. Visitors can also get a glimpse of the renowned Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port on a harbor cruise, or learn more while taking the Kennedy Legacy Trail.
The community's meeting hotels are only a few minutes from the new Barnstable Municipal Airport, which is located in the center of Hyannis. Two major airports also serve Hyannis-bound meeting delegates: Boston's Logan Airport and T.F. Green Airport in Providence, RI, both of which are a 1.5-hour drive from the peninsula. In Hyannis, the Inner Harbor area has the $40-million Barnstable Municipal Airport, opened on the site of the former Hyannis Municipal Airport.
