Local Attractions

CULTURE, HISTORY, FOOD and SPORT
There's so much more to Boston than brown bread and historic cobblestone streets. Whatever the season, you will have plenty to do in New England's vibrant cultural capital. In summer, enjoy a baseball game at historic Fenway Park, sculling and rowing on the beautiful Charles River and dining alfresco at a quaint neighborhood restaurant. In winter, skating on the Frog Pond and lively winter markets await or head indoors to a world-class museum, electrifying concert, renowned theatre performance or a cozy pub. In spring and autumn, experience the distinctive shops of Newbury Street and Charles Street, unique city tours, biking trails or a stroll through the stunning parks of the city's Emerald Necklace.

We came for three games at Fenway Park. The park was an easy walk, less than 10 minutes. The service from the hotel staff was the best! Three guys went above and beyond: Labor, Frankie and “S”! They were so welcoming, helpful and always had smiles on their faces. Thank you guys for all your help.
