Boston and related destinations

Wander through America's oldest public park, Boston Common, where colonial history lurks beneath every footpath. The Freedom Trail connects 16 revolutionary sites with a simple red line - history made foolproof. Fenway Park remains gloriously unchanged, a baseball cathedral where fans worship the Green Monster wall with religious fervor. At Quincy Market, sample clam chowder while street performers work for your spare change. The North End's narrow streets hide Italian bakeries where cannoli wars have raged for generations. Harvard students cross the river to visit actual students, while the Museum of Fine Arts houses treasures that would make European museums jealous. Duck Tours convert ordinary buses into amphibious vehicles, allowing guides to make terrible water puns.

Omni Parker House

Omni Parker House

8/10 Good
"A Grand place to stay with history right out the door! We enjoyed a Boston Cream Pie Martini and the famous Boston Cream Pie and Parker House rolls!! Delicious! We enjoyed breakfast sitting next to the JFK table where he proposed to Jackie. They offer very good coffee only on 2 floors and had available robes to get it. I gave them 4 Stars because the bathroom barn style doors bleed a lot of light into the room if used in the night. I would still recommend."

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, having some flexibility with your travel dates may help you find a more affordable stay in a Boston hotel. For those in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and can sometimes offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could offer a more budget-friendly option.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre typically command higher prices, but with Boston’s excellent public transport links, you might find a more affordable independent hotel further afield that is still well connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
