Need help re: Boston!

Can you recommend a hotel? I'm looking for a hotel that is basically in the middle of everything! Since I have never been to Boston..I dont know exactly where that is yet..woops.

Help please!!!

Re: Need help re: Boston!

Val! When are you going? I'm going there soon.

Did we discuss this at the NW luncheon? Maybe we did. I was rather drunk.

I don't really have a hotel rec...DH & I are staying about 20 minutes outside of Boston because we're doing a few different touristy things in other areas either. Plus we kinda cheaped out on the hotel...usually we don't, but we're saving for like 2139129321 things right now lol..so I'm a little afraid of what this hotel is going to be like.

Jen!! My sisters and I are going in July before our younger sisters wedding. Let me know whats good to do after you go to Boston!!!

Re: Need help re: Boston!

I was just there a few weeks ago. We didn't stay in a hotel, but I can tell you that the city is TINY. Honestly it is probably about the size of the Village. So anywhere you stay you will be close to things.

Re: Need help re: Boston!

I don't agree that anywhere you stay you will be close to things. You want to be in the copley area/fanueil hall/boston common, try the hilton or hyatt (i think it's hyatt copley place). if you are too far north or south of the main downtown area, it can be a pain to get around.
one thing to note- hotels there are $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

good luck!

Ditto. The city is definitely larger than the Village. Priceline might be the way to go...you can bid on hotels in the areas Bear mentioned, might save a bit of money that way...the areas she mentioned really are the best places to stay.

Re: Need help re: Boston!

My twin sister lives in Boston - I'll get you information and get back to you with a ton of recommendations ;)

What bear said. Downtown Boston is pretty small, but Boston as a whole is a big city, definitely bigger than the village. I'd say the other area to look in would be the financial district, around the Prudential Center.

Re: Need help re: Boston!

last time we went we booked thru hotwire

you pick the # of stars and the location

we picked the copley area, 4 star hotel...i think it was around $150/nt. which is a good deal!

look at hotwire.

Re: Need help re: Boston!

Westin Copley Place!! It is an amazing hotel, everyone is so nice, the rooms are huge, huge lobby to hang out in, has a sushi bar & very happening bar at night, gym, hot tub & pool, there's a starbucks downstairs and its connected to a huge mall. Its also a short walk to Newbury st which has great shopping & restaurants.

Re: Need help re: Boston!

i MIGHT be in boston july 28-30 for a medical conference. trying not to go cuz ill be alone and dont know the city at all!

keep posting recs people!!!!!

Re: Need help re: Boston!

I was just there and stayed at the Double Tree downtown. It was nice, and it wasn't far from Boston Common and some nice restaurants. It is in the theater district. We took a subway to Faneuil Marketplace.

Re: Need help re: Boston!

we stayed at the Lenox, right in the back bay area. we LOVED it! I want to go back there soon for sure!

Re: Need help re: Boston!

We stayed in the Marriot in Copley Square. $$$$$$ but very nice and Central.

Re: Need help re: Boston!

I just post this on the other thread, but I'll say it again - Omni Parker House! Love that hotel. (Love Omni in general. when we go to TX this summer we're staying at Omni Houston and San Antonio River Walk.) Perfect location by far! A 15 minute walk from everything. It's a stop on the Freedom Trail. This hotel is famous!
-Oldest continuously operating Hotel in the US
-Haunted? on the 3rd and 10th floor!
-Where JFK announced his candidacy for Congress in the hotel's Press Room and stayed for his bachelor party
-Hô Chí Minh who was a baker in the bakeshop
-Malcolm X was a busboy at the restaurant
-Emeril Lagasse working in the kitchen
The restaurant invested Boston cream pie & Parker house rolls and coined the term 'scrod'
