Where to stay
Coming to Boston the end of September 25. Our travel agent has suggested the Boxer but the reviews aren’t great. Looking for 4/5 star hotel in good location for all the sites and some good restaurants . Any recommendations??
If you are visiting Boston at the end of September and want a central location with access to major sites and excellent dining, there are several 4- and 5-star hotels worth considering beyond the Boxer, which has mixed reviews.
Recommended hotels in central Boston:
- The Liberty Hotel: Located in Beacon Hill, this former jail turned luxury hotel is stylish and unique. Walking distance to the Boston Common, Public Garden, and Charles Street for boutique shops and restaurants.
- Four Seasons Boston: A true 5-star option in the Back Bay area, steps from Newbury Street’s shopping and dining. Excellent service, comfortable rooms, and a great base for exploring Boston on foot.
- The Eliot Hotel: A boutique luxury property in Back Bay with elegant rooms and easy access to Copley Square, Boston Public Library, and fine dining nearby.
- Omni Parker House: Historic hotel in downtown Boston, close to Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, and the Freedom Trail. Classic Boston charm and convenient location.
- Mandarin Oriental, Boston: Overlooking the Public Garden, luxury accommodations, excellent service, and close to fine dining and cultural attractions.
Additional tips:
- Back Bay and Beacon Hill are ideal neighborhoods for walking to major sites and restaurants.
- If you want a historic Boston experience, Downtown or Beacon Hill may suit best; for modern luxury and shopping, Back Bay is preferable.
- Reserve early, as late September is still a popular travel period with pleasant weather.
Overall, for a 4–5 star stay with excellent access to attractions and dining, Four Seasons Boston or The Liberty Hotel are highly recommended, with Omni Parker House as a historic alternative.
