Boston Hotels With a Twist

When visiting Boston you have many options for hotels, but why stay at a typical hotel? Boston is filled with all types of hotels, but with a little research you can make your stay a little more exciting. Here are a few of my favorite places:

Liberty Hotel – Before its recent grand opening as one of Boston’s most luxurious hotels, this landmark was once a prison. The prison was completed in 1851 and housed some Boston’s biggest criminals. Now you can stay at a hotel with some culture very rich in Boston history. Much of the original architecture is there, but with some modern amenities.

Jurys – Following a similar theme, there is Jurys, which used to be the headquarters of the Boston Police Department. In addition to the great hotel is the Irish Bar Cuffs. Cuffs has become a very popular night spot for travelers and locals.

Hyatt Regency – Across the river in Cambridge is the Hyatt Regency. Sitting on the banks of the Charles River, this hotel offers some of the best views of the Boston skyline. But don’t worry about getting a room with a bad view, because housed on top of the Hyatt is the restaurant Spinnaker. Famous for its rotating dining area, Spinnaker makes sure every guest has their chance to view the breathtaking Boston skyline.

Omni Parker House – Besides baked beans, Boston is famous for their cream pie. This hotel is home of the original Boston cream pie. Ohh, but there is more! The famous dinner rolls from the Omni Parker House are just as popular as its cream pies. Even President George W. Bush had rolls from the Omni Parker House served at his Thanksgiving dinner. Anything that is good enough for the President is surely good enough for me.

I’ve stayed at both the Hyatt and Omni Parker House and I was very pleased with the service. Not only was the food and the view great, but the service was spectacular. I highly recommend staying at any of these hotels.

    Hi Beth,
    Thanks for stopping by! You’re correct that this is just a small sampling of the hundreds of hotels in the Boston area. We thought we’d focus on a few of the more unusual ones to give you some options that are a little different than the Holiday Inn or the Best Western (nothing against those two hotels). Thanks again for your comment.
    Susan
