Boston Hotels - The Best of the Best

May 25, 2021

Do you need a place to stay while you’re in Boston?

You might think it’s pretty easy to get a room in one of the most populated cities in the United States. After all, Boston has a rich history, several national sporting teams, and some of the world's best colleges.

But how do you know the right hotel to book? The last thing you want to do is check in to a place that is nowhere near the sights you want to see or out of the way for public transport.

Whether it’s your first visit to Boston or a regular stop, here are the hotels you should check out while vacationing in Beantown.

The Whitney Hotel

The Whitney Hotel

When you need to feel a sense of calm after returning from a day of sightseeing, The Whitney Hotel can oblige. You’ll feel like you’ve walked into a vintage brick townhouse instead of a hotel room. Inside are soft mattresses, premium showers, and plenty of amenities to help you wind down.

Outside of your room, you’ll find coffee, tea, and cocktails to cap off a day. The Whitney Hotel is also pet-friendly if you plan on holidaying with your furry friends.

Battery Wharf Hotel

Who doesn’t want to wake up in the morning to stunning water views? The Battery Wharf Hotel will always make sure you get out of the right side of the bed and get breathtaking, scenic sights every day.

You’re also only a few steps away from some iconic sights such as the Quincy Market, North End, and TD Garden, which is home to the Celtic and Bruins. It even features an award-winning spa that can help you get in touch with your Zen space.

Hotel Commonwealth

Hotel Commonwealth

In some hotels, you can feel like just any other tourist who comes to the city. But at the Hotel Commonwealth, they will personalize your stay so that you feel comfortable the minute you check-in.

You can treat yourself to some in-room dining after a long day exploring the city. However, the TsuruTonTan Udon Noodle Brasserie is a great place to visit when you’re after some authentic Japanese cuisine.

XV Beacon

XV Beacon

There’s a rumor that George Washington once stayed the night at XV Beacon. You’ll immediately see why. Even though it’s likely been upgraded since his stay, XV Beacon features stunning architecture, classy furnishings, and a grand marble staircase that you can’t help but look at in awe.

The staff is just as accommodating. They can not only provide you with directions to a local venue, but they can even organize theatre or sports tickets if you’ve left booking them to the last minute.

The Verb Hotel

The Verb Hotel

There’s no hotel like The Verb. It’s all about the rock and roll lifestyle and feels like a party that you never want to end.

Inside your room, you’ll find rock and roll artwork, comfy beds, and some glorious views of Fenway Park. You might not be able to destroy the accommodation like a real rock star, but you won’t want to because you’ll definitely want to come back and stay again.

The Envoy Hotel

The Envoy Hotel

Everything about The Envoy Hotel is different. The lobby looks like a place you’d want to hang out and grab a drink. Your room will feel like it’s been decorated by a world-renowned artist. Then there is the rooftop.

You haven’t seen Boston until you snuggle up inside a rooftop igloo. It’s warm, toasty, and features a serving of small plates and cocktails to make your stay complete.

The Row Hotel

The Row Hotel

If you prefer not to be too close to the center of the city, then you’ll want to stay at The Row. It’s close enough that you can get to everywhere you need to but far enough that it doesn’t feel as busy when you take a stroll down the street.

Inside your spacious room, you’ll be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the sound of silence while you sleep. They also have a pool and fitness center on-site if you want to get a workout in before you start sightseeing.

The Charles Hotel

The Charles Hotel

While The Charles Hotel is located in the heart of Harvard Square, you don’t need to have attended the prestigious college to stay here. All it means is that you can experience the charming venue and indulge in the luxuries that come with it.

Just because it’s filled with leather-bound books and oak tables doesn’t mean it’s technologically challenged. Inside your room, you can expect super-fast internet, 55 inch TVs, and Bose radios featuring the clearest sounds for all your tunes.

Kimpton Marlowe Hotel

Kimpton Marlowe Hotel

Curious minds will love the Marlowe Hotel. It’s located in the knowledge and industry area of Boston and close to a lot of cultural venues such as the Museum of Science, Boston Opera House, and the Public Library.

It’s also got a stunning view of the Charles River and features rooms with a sharp, clean design. There’s even a bar on-site and restaurant if you don’t feel like venturing out for a meal.

Kimpton Onyx

Kimpton Onyx

You can’t help but feel welcomed when you walk into the Onyx. The staff quickly begin to feel like friends as opposed to employees of the hotel. They aim to make a personal connection and make your stay in Boston a memorable one.

They also don’t mind poking a bit of fun at themselves. You’ll see once when you get a glimpse at their “wicked smaht” cushions in your room.

Harborside Inn

Harborside Inn

Just because the Harborside Inn rates are often cheaper than other hotels in the area doesn’t mean they don’t provide quality rooms. Their philosophy is about giving you more for less.

That means more style in all of their rooms and more services such as high-speed internet and no hidden fees on phone calls. So why not indulge yourself and check in to this historic location.

Envision Hotels

Envision Hotels

Sometimes you want more of a boutique accommodation instead of a commercial hotel feel. Fortunately, Envision Hotels provides a charming experience located just out of the hustle and bustle of Boston.

Sitting in a local neighborhood, you can experience the real city and everything that it has to offer. The staff will even make you feel like a local and ensure you get the stay you’re looking for.
