In the Center of It All
At HI-Hyannis, you don't have to go far to find the best the Cape has to offer - whether it's cruising Hyannis Harbor on an 1886 Crosby catboat replica, exploring Lewis Bay and Nantucket Sound by foot, kayak or windsurfer, hitting the beach, visiting local artist shanties, or enjoying the shops, restaurants and nightlife on bustling Main Street, it's all just minutes from your front door, by foot, bicycle or the free local shuttle!

Only steps from downtown, the location could not be more ideal: across the street from the Hyannis ferry docks, steps to the free Hyannis trolley shuttle, less than a mile to the Hyannis bus station and in easy walking distance to museums, main street shops, beaches and other local historical, recreational and cultural attractions.
Hyannis has enjoyed a rich history as the preferred vacation spots of senators, dignitaries and presidents including President Ulysses S. Grant, President Grover Cleveland and of President John F. Kennedy who called Hyannis home. Today, Hyannis is the largest village of the Town of Barnstable.
